Introduction
Overview
Ethernet TCP/IP Web Control Software consists of two programs, GRIP Server, and
TCP/IP software files that enable access to router switching via a web browser.
When the TCP/IP files are installed and configured on the PC running GRIP Server, the
PC becomes a “WEB” server for the local area network (LAN).
Client computers require web browser software to be installed on Windows or Mac.
There are two types of computers in this system. The Server, which is the computer
running SVS Server (GRIP), with the Web Page Server, and a Client (can be one or
more) running a browser accessing the computer with GRIP Server installed and running.
Before you start, be sure that the PC you are going to install the programs on is
connected to your “Local” LAN/WAN network. The programs only work on a local
LAN/WAN network, not across the Internet.
Install GRIP Server on the PC that is connected to your router via the RS-232 com port.
Follow the instructions in the GRIP manual for installation and router configurations. The
GRIP Server program operates the same as the standard GRIP program. The router
should be configured using GRIP before installing the Web Control software.
G.R.I.P. is a Graphics User Interface, (GUI), based control system which can program
and control most functions in Sierra Video Systems’ (SVS) serial controlled routing
switchers. This includes switchers from the Manzanita family (with serial control) through
the large-scale Sequoia switchers. G.R.I.P. can also be used to configure most SVS
control panels.
Ethernet Web Control Software files are also installed on the GRIP Server PC.
Instructions for installation are explained in Chapter 2 of this manual.
