Ethernet Control

The RCP 2000 Web pages allow you to control the RCP via

Ethernet. They also enable the RCP to control a networked

ISS 506 switcher.

Establishing a Connection

The resident Web pages are an alternative means of communication with, and control through, the RCP unit. The Web pages are accessed via a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher).

The computer that is used to access the Web server must have a connection in common with the RCP unit. For example, if the unit is connected to your local intranet, the computer that is used to access the unit must also be connected to your local intranet. Similarly, if the unit is connected only to the Internet, the computer that is used to access the unit must have an Internet connection.

If you have established passwords for the unit, you are shown a Password window when your browser accesses the RCP unit. Your level of control over the unit depends on the password you enter on this password screen. If you enter the administrator password, you are permitted to configure or change all settings. If you enter a user password, you are permitted only to control A/V devices and to view status.

Logging On and Viewing System Status

The RCP 2000 Web page has three tabs that you can select to display different screens. When you first log on and access the RCP Web site, the Status tab is selected. The Status tab contains the System Status screen, which provides information on your RCP’s current settings. Changes to these settings can be made via the Configuration tab or the RCP 2000 front panel.

1. Double-click the Web browser icon on your Windows desktop to launch your Web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the unit (see “Setting Up IP Communication,” in chapter 2, “Installation”) in the address field at the top of the screen, and press the Enter key. The Password window opens if a password has been set. (This does not happen the first time you access the interface, because no password is set at the factory).

3. Enter the appropriate password (if required). The System Status page opens, showing the current RCP IP address, the switcher IP address, and other settings of the unit.

4. When finished viewing, click Log Off in the upper-right corner of the screen to exit the system.

Using the Configuration Screens

When the Configuration tab is selected, two Configuration Web pages are listed in the sidebar menu at the left of the Configuration tab. The following sections describe the changes you can make from these screens.

System Settings screen

The System Settings screen lets you review the configuration of the RCP unit, change the IP settings and adjust the date and time. It also enables you to access the Web pages for the ISS 506 switcher. (See the illustration on the next page.)
