5.2. Communicating with the IPS

In order to conﬁgure the unit or invoke command functions, you must ﬁrst connect to the IPS and access command mode. As discussed in Section 3, the IPS offers two separate command interfaces: the Web Browser Interface, and the Text Interface.

The IPS also offers three different methods for accessing command mode; via network, via external modem, or via local PC. 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.

Note: Conﬁguration functions are only available when you have logged into the IPS command mode using the System Password.

5.2.1.Accessing the Web Browser Interface

In order to use the Web Browser Interface, the IPS must be connected to a TCP/IP network, and your PC 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 IPS’s IP address (default = http://192.168.168.168) into the web browser’s address bar, and then press [Enter].
