The ISS 108 and ISS 408 can each be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a Web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The browser’s display of the switcher’s status or operation has the appearance of Web pages. This chapter describes the factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.

If your Ethernet connection to the ISS is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your Web browser. In Microsoft’s Internet Explore, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, uncheck the “Use a proxy server...” box, and then click Ok.

Load the Startup (Control) Page

Access the switcher using HTML pages as follows:

1.

Start the Web browser program.

2.

Click in the browser’s Address field.

3.

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

 

 

If 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), enter a slash (/) and the

 

file name to open.

 

 

The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format:

 

 

 

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html}

 

 

The following characters are invalid in file names: {space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { }

 

 

 

 

< > ’ “ ; : \ and ?.

5.

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

 

protected.

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

If the switcher is password protected, the switcher downloads the Enter

Network Password page (figure 6-1).
