To control general settings, the following calls (querytype field values) are used:

  • getsettings - get the current settings, returns the response as:

<config>
<network dhcp_active="false" hostname="debughost" mac="d8:80:39:9e:d5:14" ip="192.168.0.199" ip_lte="" network="192.168.0.0" netmask="255.255.255.0" broadcast="192.168.0.255" gateway="192.168.0.1" dns1="192.168.0.1" dns2="" dns3="" ssl="false" port="80" syslog_server="" can_count="1" can_active="true" dyndns_active="false" ftp="user:pass@ftp.vutlan.com/pub"></network>
</config>

where:

  • dhcp_active - DHCP ("on" / "off");
  • hostname - the name of the monitoring system when registering on the DHCP server;
  • mac - MAC address;
  • ip - current IP address;
  • ip_lte - current LTE IP address, empty if no LTE connection;
  • network - a subnet;
  • netmask - the subnet mask;
  • broadcast - broadcast address;
  • gateway - gateway;
  • dns1 - DNS1;
  • dns2 - DNS2;
  • dns3 - DNS3;
  • ssl - HTTP (false) or HTTPS (true) operating mode of the web interface;
  • port - the port on which the web interface is running;
  • syslog_server - address of the syslog server;
  • can_count - the number of CAN interfaces in the system;
  • can_active - control of CAN buses ("true" / "false");
  • dyndns_active - includes the DynDNS Service;
  • dyndns_service - the DynDNS service ("dyndns" or "noip"), if dyndns_active="true";
  • dyndns_user - account on DynDNS service, if dyndns_active="true";
  • dyndns_pass - the password of the account on DynDNS service, if dyndns_active="true";
  • dyndns_host - host on DynDNS service, if dyndns_active="true";
  • ftp - ftp address of update uploads;
  • tls_v11 - enable TLS version 1.0 and 1.1;
  • tls_v12 - enable TLS version 1.2;
  • tls_v13 - enable TLS version 1.3 (if supported).


  • setsettings - save the  settings, thus, for the changes to take effect, a reboot is required. Extra options are:
    • noreboot - if the key is equal to "1", then the reboot, after the configuration of the settings, will not be performed;
    • ip - IP address;
    • netmask - the subnet mask;
    • broadcast - broadcast address;
    • gateway - gateway;
    • dns1 - DNS1;
    • dns2 - DNS2;
    • dns3 - DNS3;
    • ssl - HTTP (false) or HTTPS (true) operating mode of the web interface;
    • port - the port on which the web interface is running;
    • mac - MAC address (does not change);
    • ftp - ftp address of  update downloads;
    • syslog_server - address of the syslog server;
    • dhcp_active - DHCP ("on" / "off");
    • hostname - the name of the monitoring system when registering on the DHCP server;
    • dyndns_active - turns on the DynDNS Service;
    • dyndns_service - DynDNS service ("dyndns" or "noip");
    • dyndns_user - account on DynDNS service;
    • dyndns_pass - password of the account on DynDNS service;
    • dyndns_host - host on DynDNS service;
    • can_active - control of CAN buses ("true" / "false");
    • tls_v11 - enable TLS version 1.0 and 1.1;
    • tls_v12 - enable TLS version 1.2;
    • tls_v13 - enable TLS version 1.3 (if supported).

To force a system reboot, use the call:

  • reboot - reboot of the system

To management of DynDNS settings, the following call is used, with the parameters applied without rebooting:

  • setdyndns - set the settings. Additional fields (parameters) are:
    • dyndns_active - includes the DynDNS Service;
    • dyndns_service - DynDNS service ("dyndns" or "noip");
    • dyndns_user - account on DynDNS service;
    • dyndns_pass - password of the account on DynDNS service;
    • dyndns_host - the host on the DynDNS service.
