Web Console Tabs

At the top of the web console, you can review status information. It includes the Discover version number, host and port information, and current version of Linux, as well as the time at which the page was last loaded.

  • In the upper-right corner of the console, you can access the SysInfo page. See SysInfo Page.
  • When the page is loaded, the web console checks the available disk space in the partition that is containing the DNCA software. If there is insufficient free disk space, a red status message is displayed, and steps must be taken immediately to free up space in the partition (/usr/local/dncauser by default).

The following configuration pages are available in the web console:
