Connecting to the APWeb Server

Installation & Setup

Connecting to the APWeb Server

The APWeb server delivers HTML pages and Java applets, which allow for remote control and diagnostics of an AMX AutoPatch Routing System using PC-based Internet browsing software. In addition, one of the pages opens a Telnet server, providing a standard terminal interface for entering AMX AutoPatch BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands.

The primary enclosure (the one with the control panel) on the Octaire system is connected via a link (RJ-45) cable to a LAN (Local Area Network), the Internet, or a network card in a PC (which could then connect to a LAN or the Internet). The connection directions follow. For setup and operation details for the APWeb server, see the “APWeb” chapter (page 67).

Important: Although it is also possible to provide access from outside a LAN via the Internet, security issues for your LAN environment must be taken into account (contact your Network Administrator).

TCP/IP Port & Indicator LEDs

The TCP/IP port used for APWeb is located on the rear of the primary enclosure in the upper right corner (FIG. 26).

Note: The LINK connectors at the lower right of the enclosure are for linking enclosures; do not attempt to use them for APWeb.

TCP/IP (RJ-45) port

TCP/IP indicator LEDs

FIG. 26 TCP/IP port & indicators

The TCP/IP port is an Ethernet link connector, handling Ethernet 10/100 connections for 10 Mbps (megabits per second) and 100 Mbps. This connection is compatible with most Ethernet based LANs. Three LEDs directly below the port indicate the Ethernet connection status and speed (FIG. 26).

The three green LEDs indicate the following:

Power Indicator

On – System is receiving power

Ethernet Link Indicator

On – Link status is active

Ethernet Speed Indicator

On – Speed status is 100 Mbps

Off – Speed status is 10 Mbps

Note: The two small rectangular LEDs on the RJ-45 connector are not used for the TCP/IP function.
