Communication and Control
Communication with the Interface Card
The on-board Web server has a set of built in, default Web
pages, which can be accessed via a Web browser. These pages
are used to control the IPL M PDP-ES interface card within the
Pioneer plasma, as well as monitoring and scheduling events.
In using Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher), you must also
have Microsoft Script (version 5.6 or higher).
This chapter describes these default Web pages, which are
always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.
Accessing and using the Web server
Access the IPL M PDP-ES interface card through the built in
Web server pages as follows:
1 . Launch your Web browser.
2 . Click in the browser’s Address field.
3 . Enter your IPL M PDP-ES IP address in the browser’s
Address field. The browser’s Address field should display
the address in the following format: http://xx.xx.xxx.xx.
For example:
http://10.13.170.15
If the local system administrators have not changed the value,
the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value
for this field.
4 . Press the keyboard Enter key.
If the interface card is password protected, see
Passwords page, later in this chapter.
If you are unable to access the Web server, see Troubleshooting at
the end of this chapter.
Navigating the default Web pages
The IPL M PDP-ES default Web pages include four tabs (Status,
Configuration, File Management, and Pioneer) for easy
navigation of several administrative options, including system
status, password control, file management, and control of the
Pioneer plasma itself.
Status tab
The Status tab includes the System Status page (figure 4-1).
The System Status page is the default page of the on-board Web
server, and displays the IP settings and serial port settings for
the IPL M PDP-ES interface card.
