Accessing the HTML Pages

Access the GSS using HTML pages as follows:

1.

Start the Web browser program.

2.

Click in the browser’s Address field.

3.

Enter the GSS’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.

NIf the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

4. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a custom page that you have created and uploaded), follow the address with a slash (/) and the file name to open.

NThe browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_ name.html}.

NThe following characters are invalid in file names: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

5.

Press the keyboard Enter key. The GSS checks to see if it is

 

password protected.

If the GSS is not password protected, proceed to step 7.

If the GSS is password protected, the Enter Network Password page (figure 5-2) appears.

6.

Click in the Password field and type in the appropriate

 

administrator or user password. Click the OK button.

7. The GSS checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly:

a. Does the address include a specific file name, such as 10.13.3.194/file_name.html? If so, the GSS outputs that HTML page to the PC or network.

b. Is there a file in the GSS’s memory that is named “index.html”?

If so, the GSS outputs “index.html” as the default startup page.

c. If neither of the above conditions is true, the GSS outputs the factory-installed default startup page, “nortxe_index.html” (figure 5-3), also known as the System Status page.

System Status Page

The System Status page (figure 5-3) provides an overall view of the status of the GSS, including various IP addresses, and the status of the RS-232 port. The System Status page is the default page that the GSS downloads when you connect to the GSS. Access the System Status page from other GSS HTML web pages by clicking the Status tab.
