Embedded Web pages
The IPL 250 features an embedded Web server, which includes factory-set Web
pages. These pages can be replaced with user-designed files, but the default Web
pages provide many basic features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling
the unit via a Web browser. This section provides an overview of these Web pages,
which provide some of the features of the configuration program.
To access the embedded Web pages,
1.
Launch a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox) on the connected
PC, enter the IPL’s IP address in the address field, and press the Enter key.
N
After GlobalViewer Web pages have been uploaded to the IPL, the GV Web
pages open by default (instead of the factory-set Web pages) if you enter just
the IPL unit’s IP address (e.g.
10.13.197.7 or http://10.13.197.7).
To view the factory-set Web pages on a GV-enabled IPL unit, add
/nortxe_index.html after the IP address before pressing Enter. For
example, enter
http://10.13.197.7/nortxe_index.html.
2.
In the Connect to <IP address> dialog
box, shown at right, enter the IPL’s IP
address or text of your choice in the
User Name field, type in the
administrator password in the
Password field, and click OK. The IPL’s
default Web page appears.
If the IPL has not already been
configured with a password, this
password dialog box does not appear;
the default Web page opens directly.
N
Passwords must contain 4 to 12
alphanumeric characters. Symbols and spaces are not allowed and the passwords
are case sensitive.
N
Administrators have access to all of the Web pages and are able to make
changes to settings. Users can access the System Status page only.
