Remote Control
4.4 Web Browser
The Web Browser interface is available as a standard feature on all of the RX8000
Series Receivers.
For more detailed information on Web Browser remote control, see Chapter 5, Web
Browser Control.
4.4.1 Setting Up Web Browser Remote Control
A personal computer (PC) running a Web Browser can be used to configure, control
and monitor the Receiver remotely. The following web browsers have been tested:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (This is the only browser supported by Ericsson)
• Mozilla Firefox (Functional but unsupported)
• Google Chrome (Functional but unsupported)
To set up Web Browser control:
1. Connect the PC to either of the two IP control interfaces on the rear of the
Receiver (labelled ETHERNET 1 / 2 or CONTROL 1 / 2).
2. Enter the settings for the relevant control port (IP Address, Subnet and
Gateway) via the front panel 1.1 Network Settings menu, see Chapter 3, Front
Panel Control.
Note: If the Receiver is connected to an existing network, or is not on the same
subnet as the control PC, assistance from the network administrator may be
required in modifying the network settings.
3. Open a Web Browser window on the PC.
4. Enter the IP address of the Receiver into the address field of the Web Browser.
The Status page of the Receiver interface will appear in the Web Browser
window, see Figure 4.1.
Note: To assist with troubleshooting, the IP control ports will respond to ICMP
PING request messages.
4.4.2 Web Browser Interface Status Page
With the network settings correctly entered at the Receiver front panel control
interface, a Status page is automatically loaded and displayed in the Web Browser
when the relevant URL is entered.
The Status page displayed may differ slightly depending on the Receiver model and
the options enabled. A typical Status page is displayed in Figure 4.1.
