Accessing the Web-based User Interface

NOTE:	The user interface shown in this guide is available when using VN-Matrix 200,
225, 300, or 325 devices or a VNM Recorder. This interface is best used when
configuring small systems. For larger systems, using a VNM Enterprise Controller
interface is recommended. See the VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide for more
information.

The web-based user interface can be accessed using a suitable web browser (for example, Microsoft® Internet Explorer® v7 or above or Mozilla® Firefox® v1.3 or above) running on any PC or laptop connected to the VN-Matrix network. With a web browser open, use the following steps to access the user interface.

1.Type in the IP address of the controller device into the address bar of the web browser (for example, http://192.168.254.254). The web page shown in figure 17 appears in the browser.

NOTES:

• If the VNM Recorder is configured as the controller device of the VN-Matrix

network, the IP address must be appended with the port number that is used as

the web page server (for example, http://192.168.254.254:8090).

• If the web browser cannot access the web-based user interface, the security

settings of the web browser may need to be configured. See the Browser

Configuration section on page 68 for more information.

2.Enter the appropriate username and password.

	on page 41.
