HTTP (Web Server) Interface
A user-supplied web browser allows the full M&C of the LPOD through its HTTP Interface. This
embedded web application is designed for use with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or
higher. It is a non-secure web application.
4.4.1 Enable the HTTP Interface
See Chapter 5. SERIAL INTERFACE OPERATION for more information
about the Local Remote Status (LRS) and IP Address (IPA) commands.
You must assign a unique IP Address for each unit on the network
before connecting to an existing network. As the IP address may need
to be changed to something other than the factory default setting, use
the remote command IPA=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.yy, where: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
is a valid IP address on the network where the unit is to be installed,
and yy is the range (typically, yy = 24).
Changing the IPA value requires that you cycle power on the unit, and
then start a new Telnet session using the new IP address.
Do the following steps to enable the HTTP Interface in the LPOD using only a 100BaseTx remote
interface (this assumes that you are running a Microsoft Windows OS).
1. Select
Start
, then
Run
, then type “
cmd
” to open the Windows Command-line window.
2. Type “
Telnet 192.68.1.4
” to start a Telnet session with the unit using the default
Management IP address.
3. Enter the Telnet username and password (the default for both parameters is

):
