Web Server

Top  Contents  Index 

Ascendis Caller ID contains a web server that can be used to make call, contact, and action information available anywhere through a web browser.  Some sample output can be found here.

 

To configure the web server, see the appropriate Network Options or Advanced Network Options page.

 

When enabled on the standard web port (80), you can access Ascendis Caller ID through a browser by typing "http://" followed by the IP address of the computer running Ascendis Caller ID.  The address would be of the form:

http://<IP address of machine running Ascendis Caller ID>

 

For example, if the IP address of the computer running Ascendis Caller ID was 192.168.0.2, you would use the following:

http://192.168.0.2

 

From the computer running Ascendis Caller ID, you can access it using the following URL:

http://localhost

(Note: the link will only work if you have enabled the Ascendis Caller ID web server on port 80 using bind address 0.0.0.0 and Ascendis Caller ID is currently running.)

 

If you specified a different port in the Options window, then you will have to specify it in the URL:

http://192.168.0.2:8000

http://localhost:8000

(Note: the link will only work if you have enabled the Ascendis Caller ID web server on port 8000 using bind address 0.0.0.0 and Ascendis Caller ID is currently running.)

 

 

Security

 

To prevent unauthorized access to the Ascendis Caller ID web server, enable "Web server requires authentication" in Advanced Web/TiVo Server options.  This enables standard web server authentication.  Even when authentication is enabled, the data is sent across the network in the clear, and could be eavesdropped.

 

 

Customization

 

The Ascendis Caller ID web server can be customized to change the appearance or to serve your own HTML documents.
