HTML Configuration and Control
PRELIMINAR
Y
The MGP 464 and the MGP 462xi can be controlled and configured using HTML
Web pages that are accessed over a network or from a local PC connected to the
MGP’s LAN port. The MGP has factory-installed HTML Web pages that allow you
to select and configure inputs, adjust picture controls, configure windows, save and
recall presets, and perform other processor functions. Access these HTML pages
using a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
N Administrators have access to all of the Web pages and are able to make changes
to settings. Users can access the pages on the System Status, Control, and
Background tabs only.
N The screen examples in this chapter all show MGP 464 Web pages. The
MGP 462xi Web pages are identical in content and appearance except for the
product names and number of windows discussed.
Accessing the Web Pages
To access the MGP’s HTML Web pages, follow these steps:
1
. Start the Web browser program.
2 . Enter the MGP’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
N If your local system administrators have not changed the address, use the factory-
specified default, 192.168.254.254, for this field.
3 . If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as
a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the
name of the file to open.
N The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ optional_file_name.html
N The following characters are invalid in file names:
{space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
4 . Press the Enter key. If the MGP’s HTML pages are not password protected,
the browser displays a start page as described in step 5.
If the MGP’s HTML pages are password protected, the browser displays the
“Connect to” dialog box.
