3.4 Web-based M&C

3.4 Web-based M&C

The most basic method of communication with the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA is via a web browser, which accesses the built-in web pages served from the amplifier’s embedded web server. Supported web browsers include Internet Explorer version 6 or better, and Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.3 or better.

Once the host PC has been configured and connected to the amplifier using the Quick Start cable, the user may open a web browser page, select File → Open, and enter the IP address of the networked amplifier into the browser’s address field. The default IP address is 192.168.0.9. See Figure 3-15.

Figure 3-15: Enter IP address for Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA (default is 192.168.0.9)

Important! In order to use the web browser interface with a SSPA that has been assigned a custom IP address using the Universal M&C Software, make sure the IP port address is set to 1007.

The initial page is the launch window, as seen in Figure 3-16. The Java-based web M&C applet will automatically load in the browser window.
