Network IP Setup and Control
Once the IP addresses have been changed, if required, you can
contact and control the RCP 2000 by using Web pages that are
resident, in firmware, on the RCP unit.
Contacting the RCP unit
The resident Web pages are the primary means of
communication with, and control through, the RCP unit. The
Web pages are accessed via a Web browser, such as Internet
Explorer (version 5.5 or higher).
The PC that is used to access the Web server must have a
connection in common with the RCP unit. For example, if the
unit is connected to your local intranet, the PC that is used to
access the unit must also be connected to your local intranet.
Similarly, if the unit is connected only to the Internet, the PC
that is used to access the unit must have an Internet connection.
When your browser accesses the RCP unit, if you have
established passwords for the unit you are shown a Password
window (except when you initially access the Web page,
because at that time no passwords have been established). Your
level of control over the unit depends on the password you
enter on this password screen. If you enter the administrator
password, you are permitted to configure or change all settings.
If you enter a user password, you are permitted only to control
A/V devices and to view status.
Accessing and using the Web pages
Logon and system status
1 . Double-click the Web browser icon on your Windows
desktop to launch your Web browser.
2 . Enter the IP address of the unit (see Changing the IP
addresses, earlier in this chapter) in the address field at the
top of the screen, and press the Enter key. The Password
window is opened if a password has been set. (This does
not happen the first time you access the interface, because
no password is set at the factory).
3 . Enter the appropriate password (if required). The System
Status page opens (figure 4-3), showing the current IP
address and other settings of the unit.
4 . Click Log Off on the left side of the screen to exit the
system.
Establishing or changing system settings
The System Settings screen is used to review the configuration
of the RCP unit and to access the Web pages for the controlled
switcher. The System Settings screen can be accessed from the
initial (System Status) screen.
