WEB INTERFACE

The Built-in Web Server

The Mini PACS includes a built-in Web server which provides an intuitive Web 
interface.  If TCP/IP is not confi gured on the Mini PACS, then see page 7 for 
details on confi guring the Mini PACS.  If the Mini PACS is already confi gured for 
use on a network, then open a Web browser and type in the IP address of the
Mini PACS.

The built-in Web server provides control over RS-232, IR emitters, relays, and 
general confi guration.  Each of these pages will be covered in the following 
sections.

Initially, when the Web page is launched, the RS-232 Menu is displayed.  The
top portion of the screen has tabs to select RS-232 settings, IR settings, relay
settings, general confi guration.  Click on the desired tab to bring up the settings 
page for those functions.

Reboot

The Mini PACS must be rebooted after 
making all changes.

Main Menu

Click on any of the four menu
selections to access the desired page.
