5.2. Communicating with the IPS

In order to configure the unit or invoke command functions, the user

must first connect to the IPS and access the command mode. As

discussed in Section 3, the IPS-15 offers two separate command

interfaces: the Web Browser Interface, and the Text Interface.

In addition, the IPS also offers three different methods for accessing

the command mode; via network, via external modem, or via local

console. The Web Browser Interface is only available when the IPS

is contacted via network, and the Text Interface is available via

network, modem or local PC.

The sections that follow describe the procedure for accessing the

Web Browser Interface or the Text Interface.

5.2.1.

Accessing the Web Browser Interface

In order to issue commands via the Web Browser Interface, the IPS

Master Unit must be connected to a TCP/IP network, and your PC or

workstation must be equipped with a JavaScript enabled web

browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.)

1. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser.

2. Key the unit's IP address (default = http://192.168.168.168)

into the web browser's address bar, and then press [Enter].
