Interfaces
You have the option of communicating with the DVL through either a web browser interface or
through a command line interface. If you want to use the command line interface, please refer to the
DVL Integrator's Guide
for further information. The web browser interface offers a much more intuitive
experience when configuring the DVL for operation. It is not possible to communicate with the
instrument from two different interfaces at the same time.
4.1
Web Browser Interface
By using the IP address for your instrument you can access the browser interface. The first step is
to find the assigned IP address for your system, which implies that you are properly connected to an
instrument. There are two ways to do this:
1. You will find the IP address in the Microsoft Windows dialog, under Network. Double clicking the
instrument icon brings up the browser interface. Right clicking and selecting Properties gives the
IP address and other instrument configuration information. If you are not able to find your
instrument, check out our tips in the section about
UPnP
.
2. Use the "
Nortek Instrument Search
" application (NortekDiscover.exe available on the flash disk
that came with the instrument)
Once you have discovered the instrument, find the IP address and type it into your browser. The
instrument specific web site is divided into the following menu options:
Measurement Configuration
Instrument Settings
Additional Online Data Formats
Display Data
Network Configuration
Maintenance
Logs
Security
Data Download
(refer to screenshot below). Each parameter within each menu is described in detail in the overview
to the right-hand side of the browser page.
