26.5 Parameter Tags<br />

iChip Embedded Web Server<br />

iChip and host real-time parameters can be referred to in the embedded websites through<br />

the use of Parameter Tags. When Parameter Tags are placed in an HTML web page,<br />

actual values are sent by iChip‘s web server component when the page is served out.<br />

Parameter Tags are also used to change corresponding parameter values from a remote<br />

web browser. Syntactically, Parameter Tags are parameter names enclosed between two<br />

(~) characters. If the (~) character needs to be included in a Web page, two consecutive<br />

(~) characters must be used (~~).<br />

The iChip Internet configuration parameters defined in the <strong>AT+i</strong> API retain their name<br />

when used as Parameter Tags. For example, the value of the TOA <strong>AT+i</strong> parameter (Send<br />

to E-Mail Address) may be referenced in the website by ~TOA~.<br />

Host Parameter Tags defined by the parameter name , may be referenced in the<br />

website using ~~. can be any freeform parameter name consisting of a<br />

single word that does not include blanks or iChip delimiters. For example, a parameter<br />

reflecting a temperature reading can be called temperature and referenced in the website<br />

as ~temperature~.<br />

26.6 iChip Configuration Mode<br />

iChip configuration entails monitoring and updating iChip parameter values. By making<br />

use of iChip‘s inherent configuration website, an iChip device can be configured<br />

remotely using a standard web browser in addition to being configurable locally using the<br />

Ymodem protocol over the serial link, via PSTN in a modem environment, or remotely<br />

via e-mail. The iChip RPG parameter is used to password-protect remote iChip parameter<br />

updates. See Security and Restrictions.<br />

The configuration site includes web forms to monitor and update most iChip parameters<br />

and an upload page consisting of file upload forms.<br />

Each upload form allows file uploading using the POST method for a single file. The<br />

forms support uploading the following files:<br />

Firmware update *.imz file<br />

Parameters update *.rpf file<br />

Packed application website *.img file<br />

When new firmware (*.imz file) is uploaded to iChip, iChip submits an acknowledgment<br />

page to the browser, after receiving the complete *.imz file, and then goes offline and<br />

updates its firmware.<br />

In some rare cases, iChip‘s internal configuration website may be accidentally corrupted.<br />

This happens when iChip fails to complete a remote firmware update process via web. To<br />

resolve this problem, iChip includes a recovery website. This website allows a user at the<br />

remote browser end to upload the .imz file again in order to restore iChip‘s internal<br />

website.<br />

iChip‘s configuration site is located at:<br />
