Web Interface
The generator has a built-in Web server that enables you to interact with the generator
using a PC and an Ethernet connection. The Web interface includes the following
functions:
• Virtual Front Panel for operating the generator remotely.
• Generator FTP Browser for copying files between media within the generator,
between generators, and between a generator and a PC.
• Format Editor for creating formats and modifying and viewing format parameters.
For more information about the Format Editor, Refer to the User's Guide for
instructions on using the Format Editor.
• CMD Terminal for operating the generator using the command line interface.
• Calibration reports (Currently not available)
This section describes how to operate the Virtual Front Panel and the Generator FTP
Browser.
Establishing a Network Environment
To utilize the Web interface features you have to create a network environment for your
generators. You must physically connect the generators to the network, and then config-
ure their IP addresses and the IP address of the file server (which must be different).
Procedures for these tasks are described in this section.
In a typical networked environment, you will connect the generators to the corporate, IP-
based Ethernet LAN. In this scenario, you connect a standard Ethernet patch cable
between the Ethernet port on the generator and a LAN access jack or to a local hub. The
file server is also connected to the LAN in the same manner.
