5 Web Interface
The CAN@net II/Generic also includes a standard Web Server (HTTP Server)
which can be accessed using any standard Web Browser with JavaScript
enabled.
The Web Interface allows the user to modify the device configuration and the
filter settings of the CAN@net II/Generic. The modifications can be done in a
convenient, interactive way which will be described in the following chapter.
In order to use the Web Interface, the CAN@net II/Generic must be configured
as described in chapter 3.2 Basic device configuration. At least the CAN@net
II/Generic must have its own IP address and also the rest of the IP settings. Also
make sure that the CAN@net II/Generic is connected to the network.
In order to connect to the CAN@net II/Generic Web Interface simply type in the
URL "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx being the actual IP address of
the CAN@net II/Generic.
Please make sure that your Web Browser has no Proxy settings enabled
and that the IP network between your host running the Web Browser and
the CAN@net II/Generic is transparent for HTTP data exchange. Please
contact your system administrator to clarify these issues. The Device
Configuration needs a JavaScript capable Web Browser.

When the Web Browser manages to open a connection to the Web Interface,
the CAN@net II/Generic Home Page will be displayed. A screenshot of the main
page is shown in Screenshot 5.1 on the following page.

serial number, etc.) of the CAN@net II/Generic.
