A Home page similar to that follows should appear. This page should be nearly identical
to that seen if the LAN access GUI was utilized. These pages are described in the next
section of the manual.
Web Interface
The Pulsar Edge integrated 10/100Base-T port supports standard protocols over TCP/IP like
SNMP, TCP/IP, FTP and Telnet. It has an integrated HTTP web server that serves up web pages
to remote PCs using standard web browsers. Once connected to the network, simply typing the IP
address assigned to the controller in the browser will serve up the log-in screen. The same “web
page- like” interface can also be achieved through the serial Craft port connection by using the
EasyView2 GUI program. The controller also supports a T1.317 command line through both
connections. Specific systems like the CPS6000 Series II provide a front panel within LCD user
interface option which provides access and control of the majority of the features and settings in
the controller. This user interface and menu structure is described in the next session. The front
panel menu structure and terminology utilized is very intuitive and map over to the web. The web
interface is common to all Galaxy Pulsar Edge controllers and will be described in more detail.
Web pages are updated for functionally and aesthetics. Thus, some of the screens shown may be
slightly different than those served up by your Pulsar Edge.
LAN Port as the Craft Port
The 10/100Base-T port can be configured to also be used as a Craft port when the connection is
not plugged into the site’s LAN. A PC can be directly connected to the LAN connection on the
controller and its standard Web browser can be used to locally access the system. This is achieved
when the DHCP server mode of operation for the LAN port is utilized. While the Craft port is
operating as a DHCP server, it must never be plugged into the building or surrounding LAN.
Note: this port comes defaulted in the DHCP Client mode. If the site’s LAN network is setup
properly the controller will automatically obtain an IP address from the network while in the
