5.1. Accessing the router
’s built-in website
Lightware matrices have a built-in web page, which can be accessed over TCP/IP
protocol and offers you full control over all settings even if you don‟t have the
opportunity to install new programs. The router
‟s built-in website is compatible with
most widely spread browsers and requires no additional software components such
as ActiveX controls. The web interface functionality has been tested and confirmed
with the following browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 2 and 3 (recommended)
Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
Opera 8 and 9
Safari 3
Google Chrome 2.0
To access the webpage just run your preferred web browser and type the IP
address of the router as URL. The computer and the router have to be in the same
subnet.
Info:
The only way to find out the route
r’s IP address (if it is not known) is to search for
devices with the Matrix Controller software. If this is not possible for some reason,
the IP address can be reset to factory default (192.168.254.254) with the front
panel buttons. See section
on page
Info:
Only one opened web page is allowed simultaneously. Other TCP/IP connections
are prohibited while the web page is opened. Using more instances of the web
page simultaneously will result in inadequate operations.
