Controlling an MLC 104 IP Plus
You can control the MLC and devices connected to it by using a shared network and one or
more of the following tools:
•
stored within the MLC
•
that are created when you upload the GC
configuration to the MLC (see page 63)
•
An SCP control panel
Embedded Web Pages
The MLC features an embedded web server, which includes factory-set web pages. These
pages can be replaced with user-designed files, but the default web pages provide many
basic features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the unit via a web browser. This
section provides an overview of these web pages, which provide some of the features of the
configuration program.
To access the embedded web pages,
1.
Launch a web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox) on the connected PC, enter
the IP address of the MLC in the address field, and press the
Enter
key.
NOTE:
After GlobalViewer web pages have been uploaded to the MLC, the GV
web pages open by default (instead of the factory-set web pages) if you enter
just the IP address (such as
192.168.10.10
or
http://192.168.10.10
)
of the
MLC unit. To view the factory-set web pages on a GV-enabled MLC unit, add
/nortxe_index.html
after the IP address before pressing <Enter>.
For example, enter
http://192.168.10.10/nortxe_index.html
.
2.
In the
Connect to
{IP address}
or
Windows Security
dialog box,
shown at right, enter the IP address of
the MLC or text of your choice in the
User Name
field, type in the
administrator password in the
Password
field, and click
OK
. The
default web page of the MLC appears.
If the MLC has not already been
configured with a password, this
password dialog box does not appear;
the default web page opens directly.
NOTE:
Passwords must contain 4 to 12 alphanumeric characters. Symbols and
spaces are not allowed and the passwords are case sensitive.
NOTE:
Administrators have access to all of the web pages and are able to make
changes to settings. Users can access the System Status and Control: User
Mode pages only.
