HTML Operation

The MKP can be configured 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 MKP’s configuration 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 matrix switcher 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.

Access the MKP using HTML pages as follows:

1.

Start the Web browser program.

2.

Click in the browser’s Address field.

3.

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

 

 

If the local system administrators have not changed the

 

 

 

 

value, the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.253, 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 MKP checks to see if it is password protected.

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

If the MKP is password protected, the MKP downloads the Enter Network Password page (figure 5-1).

A User Name entry is not required.

6.

Click in the Password field and type in the appropriate

 

administrator or user password. Click the OK button.

7.

The MKP checks several possibilities, in the following

 

order, and then responds accordingly:

 

a.

Does the address include a specific file name, such as

 

 

10.13.156.10/file_name.html? If so, the MKP

 

 

downloads that HTML page.

 

b.

Is there a file in the MKP’s memory that is named

 

 

“index.html”?

 

 

If so, the MKP downloads “index.html” as the

 

 

default startup page.

 

c.

If neither of the above conditions is true, the MKP

 

 

downloads the factory-installed default startup page,

 

 

“nortxe_index.html” (figure 5-2), also known as the

 

 

System Status page.
