dwsconfiguration

The dwsconfiguration object allows you to configure the Diagnostic Web Server (DWS) on the player. By default, the Diagnostic Web Server is enabled on port 80, with the player serial number as password. The username is always "admin".

Object Creation

To create a dwsconfiguration object, first load the brightsign/dwsconfiguration module using the require() method. Then create an instance of the dwsconfiguration class.

var DWSConfigurationClass = require("@brightsign/dwsconfiguration");
var dwsConfig = new DWSConfigurationClass();

DWS

Use this interface to retrieve and modify the DWS configuration.

getConfig()

Promise <DWSConfig> getConfig()

Returns a DWSConfig interface containing current DWS-configuration information. If there is a set password, getConfig() will return True for the password parameter. If there isn't a set password, If there is a set password, getConfig() will return False for the password parameter.

applyConfig()

Applies DWS-configuration settings to the player. This method accepts a DWSConfig interface. It returns a DWSResult interface that indicates whether or not a reboot is required for the changes to take effect (the caller is responsible for requesting the reboot). The restartRequired property of the DWSResult indicates whether the reboot is required.

The config parameter should contain the complete desired configuration. Any previous configuration is overwritten. If you wish to change one item while keeping the rest of the configuration the same, then call getConfig and modify the returned object (see the example in the Examples section).

DWSConfig

This interface contains DWS configuration parameters:

port int: The port number of the DWS, located at the IP address of the player. The default for the DWS is port 80. Setting this value to 0 will disable the DWS.
password Password: A Password interface containing password settings for the DWS. To enable the DWS without password protection, set value to an empty string and obfuscated to false.
authenticationList Array<String>: The authentication scheme for the DWS password. This entry currently accepts a single value only. The following are accepted values:
- "basic": The password will be validated using basic authentication.
- "digest": The password will be validated using digest access authentication.

Note

To enable the DWS without password authentication, set the password.value to be an empty string and password.obfuscated to be false, when calling the applyConfig() method.

DWSConfigWritable

password Password: A Password interface containing password settings for the DWS

Password

This interface contains password settings for the DWS:

value String: The DWS password
obfuscated bool: A flag indicating whether the password string is obfuscated. Contact support@brightsign.biz to learn more about generating a key for obfuscation and storing it on the player.

DWSResult

This interface contains results from an applyConfig() operation.

restartRequired bool: A flag indicating whether a reboot is required for changes to go into effect (the script must perform the reboot)

Examples

To change one item while keeping the rest of the configuration the same, then call getConfig and modify the returned object:
