C ONFIGURATION S OFTWARE FOR W IRELESS C OMMUNICATION D EVICES

The author will describe an implementation of the web based configuration software concept for Wireless communication devices that uses a custom CGI, developed in C++ programming language, on an embedded Linux operating system. The proposed solution has service oriented architecture, minimizing the memory usage and applying the settings on the fly. The web interface show the current settings, obtai ned from common Linux commands, writes the new configuration in service's configuration file and restart the service without reboot the device. The old web based configuration interface can be easily updated or extended, by modifying the design of pages or adding new features, without being necessary to recompile or do further development in the code of the CGI module that fills the interface data, by the use of simple description in a self - designed file type that will be described in this paper.
