Extron Electronics IPL T SFI244 - Manual (Page 28)

Communication with the Interface
Web Server
The on-board Web server is displayed as a set of default Web pages which can be
accessed via a Web browser. These pages are the primary means of communication with,
and control through, the IPL T SFI244 interface. Web browsers such as Internet Explorer
®
(version 5.5 or higher) can be used, but if using Internet Explorer, you must also have
Microsoft
® Script (version 5.6 or higher).
The PC used to access the Web server must have a connection in common with the
IPL T SFI244. In other words, both the unit and the PC should be connected to your local
intranet or the Internet.
If you have established passwords for the interface, you will be shown a password window
when your browser accesses the IPL T SFI244 (but not when you initially access the Web
server, since no passwords have been established). Your level of control over the interface
depends on the password you enter in this password screen. If you enter an administrator
password, you have control of all matters of configuration. If you enter a user password,
you are restricted to control of A/V devices and viewing status.
Accessing and using the Web server
To log on and view system status:
1. Double-click the Web browser icon on your Windows desktop to launch your Web
browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the unit (see IPL T SFI244 Interface Configuration ) in the
Address field at the top of the screen and press the Enter key. The Password window
(see figure 21) is displayed if a password has been set (this will not happen the first
time you access the interface, as no password is set at the factory).
