Overview

The HTML/HTTP based BUI provides a fast response time and supports 20 active BUI users in a direct LAN connection. The BUI supports open access from anywhere in the Internet, even behind gateways and firewalls. Access the ICB web server over an Ethernet connection. To access the ICB server, use the following internet browsers:

•Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.01 or higher.

•Netscape Communicator, version 4.5 or higher.

Note: The system does not support browsers running on MacIntosh computers.

The ICB web server runs on the ICB card. The ICB card acts as a stand-alone system. Users navigate their browser directly to the card’s IP address.
