Installation
Introduction
Installation procedures must be followed carefully for correct operation of the TCP/IP
Web Control Software. The examples in this manual are for Windows XP. Installation on
other operating systems may vary.
Install Grip Server
The TCP/IP Web Control Software requires that Sierra Video Systems’ Grip Server
software is installed on a PC connected to the router. This will act as a web server
computer. That computer must be connected by serial port to the router to be controlled
and it must be on the same local subnetwork (LAN/WAN) as the browsing computers that
use the router control web pages (any IP address reachable by a UDP datagram packet
sent to broadcast address 255.255.255.255).
Only Grip Server version 3.1.0 and later will operate correctly with the Windows
Router Control Web Pages! Furthermore, only Grip Server can be running on a
local subnetwork at one time (although multiple versions of Grip Client can be
running). After installation, test the Grip software to make sure it can access and control
the router. It is also advisable to make sure you have assigned names to all of your
router sources and destinations, inputs and outputs at this time.
Refer to the GRIP Server manual for installation details.
