2. Insure that the PC has a current version of BESTCOMS for BE1-700 Software installed. BESTCOMS

for BE1-700 Software is included on the BESTCOMS for BE1-700 Software CDROM, and is available
for download from the Basler Electric web site.

3. Connect the PC to the same LAN as the BE1-700, or connect the PC directly to the BE1-700 through

a hub, or with a Category 5 (Cat-5) crossover cable.

4. If you already know the IP address of the BE1-700, skip to the next step. To scan the network for

connected BE1-700 relays, launch BESTCOMS, click on the "Ethernet Communications" menu, and
select "Download Settings From Device". When the Device Selection Dialog appears, select "Scan for
Connected Devices" and note the IP address of the device of interest. (See Figures 15-10 and 15-
11.) If no devices are found, insure that the BE1-700 is on the same subnet, that all cables are
connected, or that the direct connection cable is a CAT5 crossover cable, as appropriate.

5. Launch an Internet Explorer window and type the following URL, substituting the IP address of the

BE1-700 for the zeros shown below:

http://000.000.000.000/FS/WEB/config.htm

6. If the computer has a compatible Java Runtime installed, the screen shown in Figure 15-1 should

appear.

Figure 15-1. Launch Screen for BESTnet Configuration Applet (Internet Explorer)

7. Once the configuration applet is loaded, its window should appear (Figure 15-2).

8. Prior to changing any configuration parameters, verify, by serial number, that the relay being

configured is the correct one.

9. Step through the Network, HTTP Security and E-mail Alerts screens and set as desired (see the

following paragraphs for details). Save or cancel the changes, as required, with the appropriate
screen buttons.

NOTE

A Java

 Runtime Environment is required for proper operation of the BE1-700

configuration applet and web pages. Once the BE1-700 is configured, Java

 is

not required to receive e-mail alerts from the BE1-700 or to use BESTCOMS
over Ethernet, but is required to view web page data.
