Using the Web Server

 

Your power system has a built-in Web server that lets you control it

 

directly from an internet browser on your computer. With the Web

 

server, you can access the front panel control functions including the

 

LAN configuration parameters. Up to two simultaneous connections

 

are allowed. With additional connections, performance will be

 

reduced.

 

The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet

NOTE

Explorer 6+, Netscape 6.2+, or Firefox2+. You also need the Java (Sun) Plug-in.

 

 

This is included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun Microsystem’s

 

website. If you are using Internet Explorer 7, the tab functionality does not work

 

with multiple connections. Open a separate browser window for each connection.

The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:

1Open the internet browser on your computer.

2Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s Address field to launch the Web server. The following home page will appear:

3Click on the Browser Web Control button in the navigation bar on the left to begin controlling your instrument.

4For additional help about any of the pages, click on the Help with this Page button.

If desired, you can control access to the Web server using password protection. As shipped from the factory, no password is set. To set a password, click on the View & Modify Configuration button. Refer to the on-line help for additional information about setting a password.
