Extron electronic manual Accessing the Web Pages, 6-2USP 507 • HTML Operation

HTML Operation

The USP 507 can be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a Web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. The browser displays the unit’s factory-installed Web pages, which provide an alternative means of viewing and operating the device.

NIf the Ethernet connection to the USP 507 is unstable, try turning off the proxy server in the Web browser. To do this in Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, and clear the “Use a proxy server...” check box. Click OK.

Accessing the Web Pages

Access the HTML pages as follows:

1.	Start the Web browser program.
2.	Click in the browser’s Address field and enter your USP 507’s IP address.

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 uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the name of the file 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:

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

5.	Press the keyboard’s Enter key. The USP 507 checks to see if the unit is
	password protected.

If the unit is not password protected, the System Status Web page is displayed.

If the unit is password protected, the network password dialog box is displayed (figure 6-1).
