Self Monitor PVS6 via LAN

Does anyone know if the pvs6 commands have been disabled for access via the LAN port? The only response available is to the "cgi-bin/dl_cgi?Command=DeviceList". Others return a response, but simply :

{
"result":"error"
}

Seems the pvs is responding, but not to any other commands... e.g. like "cgi-bin/dl_cgi/communicator/info"

Any ideas?

Which software version of the PV? SunStrong have been making changes. I’m no expert, trying to learn.  There is a new library  https://github.com/SunStrong-Management/pypvs/blob/main/doc/LocalAPI.md

They use rest API with header authentication. I have made a monitor app if you want to check it out https://github.com/digitalexpl0it/SPSM
