4.0 Software Setup
The CNT-IP-2 device offers true flexibility in access and control of serial
devices over a LAN network. The CNT-IP-2 device allows for complex
installations with control and web browser access over the LAN.
One of the major features of the CNT-IP-2 device is the embedded IP
Manager software. The IP Manager allows you to configure and remotely
control serial devices from almost any PC, Tablet or Smart Phone that can
access the LAN network. This gives the users control flexibility without
being tied to any specific computer or having to preinstall software. Custom
programmable serial strings allow advanced control of virtually any display,
embedded device control, task scheduling and more.
NOTE All of the configuration of the CNT-IP-2 device is handled
through the IP Manager so in order to setup your system you
will need to login from a compatible browser. This software
uses the WebSockets protocol for bi-directional
communication between the device and your browser.
Minimum compatible browsers are:
• Google Chrome (12.0 and later)
• Firefox 5 (with WebSockets enabled)
• Safari 5
• Mobile Safari (iOS 4.2 and later)
• Opera (Not recommended, Version 12.0 works
but later versions do not)
Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch (basically iOS devices with
version 4.2 and above) are currently supported
NOTE This WebSockets implementation transmits on TCP port 8080.
This port needs to be open on the network to be able to access
the embedded software for configuration or control. If port
8080 is blocked the configuration page will only partially load
and will display “Not connected” status. This indicates that
http (port 80) is working but WebSockets (port 8080) is not.
Verify your network configuration is correct.
