====== XRouter Tour - Sysop Interface #3 - Legacy HTML ======

[[packet:xrouter:tour|Back to Tour Index Page]]

XRouter includes a general-purpose web server, which has a few inbuilt pages for sysop access. Some of these are positively pre-historic, dating back to the 1990s. For example this default page is displayed if you don't supply your own index.htm...

Pre-historic it may be, but the point is, it is low-bandwidth, intended for HTTP over radio experiments.

Clicking "nodes" brings up the following page. Clicking on one of the hyperlinked nodes takes you to that node's web server.

The legacy / low-bandwidth HTML interface is read-only by default, and open to everyone on Packet. However, there was originally a Java applet (remember those!) which allowed command-line access via the browser.

Next, we'll look at the more modern [[ packet:xrouter:full-fat | "full fat" HTML interface ]]
