Drake SCTeci Ethernet Controller Interface - Manual (Page 8)

8 OPERATION
View / Edit
Once the SCTeci has been programmed with the desired
IP address, System ID, and password, it can be accessed
from any remote location on your LAN (Local Area
Network) or the Internet using a PC with a standard web
browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Firefox.
Establishing a Link
To obtain remote access, proceed as follows.
1) Enter the IP address on the address line of your
browser and press ENTER. This will bring up a log-on
screen as shown below.
2) Navigate to the SYSTEM ID window, and type in the
SYSTEM ID which you programmed into the SCTeci.
3) Navigate to the next window (using TAB or mouse),
and type in the password which you programmed into the
SCTeci. Skip this step if you do not know the password
and only wish to view and do not wish to change any
parameters. Password not required to view only.
4) When you are finished typing in this information, click
on the 'LOG ON' button. This will establish a link with the
SCTeci and will produce a screen similar to the one
shown below.
Note that once a link is established, "Link is Active"
followed by the SCTeci IP number will appear on the
SCTeci display, and all front panel buttons except
RESET will be locked out.
Selecting Desired Information
Notice the Select Mode window appearing at the top of this
screen. Clicking on the down arrow on the side of this
window will cause a drop down dialog box to appear
showing the available options as shown in the following
illustration.
You may select the desired option by moving the mouse
cursor over your selection and left clicking once on the one
desired.
Displayed Information
Selecting SCT860 1–10 through SCT860 51–60 will
produce a table with six rows for each of the ten selected
transcoders, as shown in the previous two illustrations.
Selecting SCT860 61-63 will produce a table for only three
transcoders. The entries for each transcoder will be as
follows:
Transcoder ID
Demod Mode
Out of Lock; SNR (SCT860) or
Search; Out of Range; QAM
Version; Demod Error; SNR
Transcoder Baud Rate
No alarms; EAS; Over Temp
Button will not be present if
there is no transcoder with this
ID.
If PS15x – 1 through 7 is selected, the displayed informa-
tion will be similar. However, row 3 will have slightly
different error information, and row 5 will show either the
Model and Version numbers, or the serial number, depend-
ing on the setting of the radio buttons in the lower left
corner of the window. (See illustration at left.)
See note on page 11 if FTP file transfer was used.
No radio buttons will be displayed if SCT860 entries are
selected since they do not have internally programmed
serial numbers.
