Communication with the Interface

Web server

The on-board Web server is displayed as a set of default Web pages which can be accessed via a Web browser. These pages are the primary means of communication with, and control through, the IPL T CR48 interface. Web browsers such as Netscape® Navigator (version 6.0 or higher), or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) can be used, but if using Internet Explorer, you must also have Microsoft Script (version 5.6 or higher).

The PC used to access the Web server must have a connection in common with the IPL T CR48 interface. In other words, both the unit and the PC should be connected to your local intranet or Internet.

If you have established passwords for the interface, you will be shown a Password window when your browser accesses the IPL T CR48 unit (but not when you initially access the Web server, since no passwords have been established). Your level of control over the interface depends on the password you enter in this password screen. If you enter the administrator’s password, you will have control of all matters of configuration. If you enter a user password, you will be restricted to control of only contact closure and relay setting devices, and/or view status.

Accessing and using the Web server

Logon and system status

1.Double-click the Web browser icon on your Windows® desktop to launch your Web browser.

2.Enter the IP address of the unit (see “IPL T CR48 interface configuration” in chapter 3) in the Address field at the top of the screen and press the Enter key. The Password window (figure 4-2) is displayed if a password has been set (this will not happen the first time you access the interface, as no password is set at the factory).
