1. Connect the switcher to a PC via an Ethernet connection, or connect the
switcher and the PC to a network/LAN. See chapters two and four of this
manual and read the System 5 IP Setup Guide for details.
2. Start a Web browser program (such as Microsoft ® Intenet Explorer or
Netscape ® Navigator ® ).
3. Type the switcher’s IP address into the browser’s address area and log on to
the System 5 IP’s internal Web page (see chapter four) or to the optional
GlobalViewer Web page stored in the System 5 IP. (See the Global
Configurator help file for details.)
If GlobalViewer is installed in the switcher, the GlobalViewer Web pages
appear by default.
• GlobalViewer Web pages are supported by Internet Explorer, but not by
other browsers. GlobalViewer features may not work properly when viewed
via Navigator, Firefox, or other browser programs.
• To reach the factory default Web pages on a switcher that has been set up for
GlobalViewer, type http://<IP address>/nortxe_index.html into the
browser’s address area, substituting the unit’s actual IP address for “<IP
address>”. For example, http://10.13.196.42/nortxe_index.html.
4. In the factory default Web pages, select the Status page. The firmware version
is listed in the System Description area of the System Status area, as shown
below.
Or select the Configuration page. The firmware version is listed in the IP
Settings area, as shown below.
