If it is available, the simplest method to use the PC as gateway is to share the Internet

connection and enable the web server service from the settings specifying the board IP

address. If the PC is configured correctly it works as a gateway with IP address 192.168.0.1;

the subnet mask of the LAN is set accordingly and if the board has, for example, an IP

address like 192.168.0.xxx, the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, so it is enough to

configure the IP addresses set of the board accordingly; from a PC connected to the

Internet write the public IP address of the PC in the address bar to reach the web server

running on the STM3210C-EVAL board. Figure 11 shows a typical demo setup.

HTTP server limitations

The system has been tested with several Internet browsers and some limitation has been

found with the following browsers:

●

Opera

●

Mozilla

●

Safari

The limitations are related mainly to the page formatting and, in the case of Safari, to the

POST management as well.

Full compatibility is only achieved with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

Demo limitations

Only for demonstration purposes, the number of smartplugs that the STM3210C-EVAL can

manage is limited to 5.
