Controlling the MLC
You can control the MLC and devices connected to it by using the MLC’s factory-
embedded Web pages or its GlobalViewer (GV) Web pages that were created when
you uploaded the GC confi guration or a customized graphical user interface (GUI).
Embedded Web pages
The MLC 226 IP features an embedded Web server, which includes factory set Web
pages. These pages can be replaced with user-designed fi les, but the default Web
pages provide many basic features for monitoring, confi guring, and controlling
the MLC via a Web browser. These Web pages provide some of the features of the
confi guration program. This section provides an overview of the embedded Web
pages.

box, shown at right, enter the MLC’s IP
