Pelco C2900M-B CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER, Web Server Concept, NET-Manager

38 C2900M-B (1/03)
CONFIGURATION USING A WEB BROWSER
In addition to the aforementioned configuration using a terminal program, which only covers the
most basic settings, a web browser is the tool of choice for a more complete configuration. To
accomplish this, the system features a complete HTTP server.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 is the recommended browser.
Web Server Concept
1. Start your web browser.
2. Connect to the URL http://IP-Address, where IP-Address is the IP address of the unit you want
to configure. Use the standard dot-separated format (x.x.x.x.) to enter the address. The home
page is displayed with the video from input 1 being shown.
The HTTP server provides six separate pages for configuration.
You can return to the home page from any other page by clicking on the PelcoNet logo on the left
side. Clicking the Pelco® logo while on the home page immediately transfers you to the Pelco
Internet home page, provided the network allows for Internet access.
In order for live video images to be decoded, the special ActiveX control file must be installed on
your PC. The latest version of ActiveX comes on the PelcoNet CD.
NET-Manager
NET-Manager is a program that can make it easier to configure PelcoNet units in local networks.
The program and manual (C2901M) are on the resource CD that comes with your PelcoNet unit.
Refer to the manual for instructions.
