Installation and Operation

DDMI Web Page Status Monitoring

A CAT5 Ethernet port is provided for remotely accessing the internal
module status information (Video Media Converter Rack Manager) for the
unit via a web browser. Refer to

DDMI Interface Port on page 26

for Ethernet

cabling and setup information.

To access the web interface, you will need a web browser and Java 1.4.2 or
later. Once you have the device connected to your network, type the IP
address (silk-screened on the frame above the Ethernet port) in the browser
address bar and press

Enter

. The unit may need up to a minute from power

up to access the network.

Note

If only a gray box appears and a message in the lower left hand corner stating
applet not initialized, you do not have the correct Java version.

Once the main Video Media Rack Manager page opens (

Figure 27

) it will

display all the installed modules and their status, the status of the power
supplies and the temperature. All reporting items are read-only.
