Web Browser Setup

Web Browser Setup

The recommended web browser for use with the 2000NET Control and
Monitoring System is either:

Netscape Navigator 4.x or later, or

Internet Explorer 4.x or later.

Note

The use of Internet Explorer 4 with Windows NT has been found to be very
slow.

Versions 3.x or earlier of these browsers may cause undesirable results in
the presentation of HTML frames.

Addressing the Frame URL

To address a 2000 Kameleon frame from an internet browser, enter the
frame’s default URL into the URL line of the browser (

LOCATION

in Netscape

Navigator,

ADDRESS

in Internet Explorer). The URL will be the IP Address

given to the frame during initial setup (see

Setting Frame Network Identity on

page 27

), or a Domain name that has been mapped to the IP address in your

Domain Name Server tables. The URL should look like this:

http://{Frame’s IP Address}/

Example:

http://127.123.234.2/

Or:

http://{Frame’s Domain Name}/

Example:

http://frame1.xyz.com/

The correctly entered URL will call up the 2000 frame’s default first web
page—Frame Status.

Default MAC (machine) Address

Each 2000 Kameleon frame has a unique ethernet physical level MAC
address that is stored in the frame ID memory chip. If this memory has
failed, the 2000NET module will substitute a default MAC address: 08-00-
11-09-CD-AB. If more than one 2000 frame in your network is assigned the
default MAC address, network conflicts will occur. To verify the frame has
a unique MAC address refer to

2000NET Network Web Page on page 50

.
