HTML Operation

This section provides procedures for accessing and using the DXP embedded web pages. The following topics are included:

•Accessing the Web Pages

•Special Characters

•Status Tab

•Configuration Tab

•File Management Tab

•Control Tab

The DXP can be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a network and using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer®. The browser displays the DXP web pages, which provide an alternative means of configuring and operating the switcher. These factory-installed web pages are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.

NOTE: If your Ethernet connection to the matrix switcher is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your web browser. To do this in Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, clear the Use a proxy server... check box, then click OK.

Accessing the Web Pages

Access the HTML pages as follows:

1.Start the web browser program.

2.Click in the browser Address field and enter the IP address of your DXP.

NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, use the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, in this field.

3.If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a custom page that you have uploaded), enter a slash (/) following the IP address and the name of the file to open.

NOTES: • The browser Address field should display the IP address in the following format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/optional_file_name.html.

•The following characters are invalid or not recommended in file names:

+ ~ , @ = `[ ] { } < > ‘ ’ “ ” ; : \ ? and {space}.

4.Press the <Enter> key. The switcher checks to see if it is password-protected.

•If the switcher is not password-protected, the System Status web page opens.

•If the DXP is password-protected, the network password dialog box is displayed.
