Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT
VIA USER INTERFACES
4.1 Introduction
Management of the MENCAP 50 is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to
configure and manage the MENCAP 50:
•
Web Interface via a LAN-based Desktop Browser
•
Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port
•
Telnet Interface via a LAN
•
TFTP for remote terminal upgrades
•
SNMP Private MIB and MIB II
4.2 Web Interface
The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is
used to communicate with and command the MENCAP 50 via a HyperText Markup
Language-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN
connection must exist between the PC with a browser and the MENCAP 50.
Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the
MENCAP 50, activate a browser on the desktop. Enter the IP address for the MENCAP 50
into the URL field as shown in Figure 4-1. If the port number has been modified from the
Standard 80 via the Terminal Interface, then the port number must be appended with a
colon to the IP address.
Figure 4-1. Connecting to the MENCAP 50
A successful connection between the PC and the MENCAP 50 will result in the display
of the “splash page” shown in Figure 4-2.
