5 WEBSERVER OPERATION
5.1 Introduction
The transmodulator is controlled and configured via Ethernet using a standard
browser. The webserver application provides access to the setting parameters of
the modulator. To use it you need just a standard browser and an internet
connection. In this way remote control can be done from any PC computer using
the integrated webserver which does not require installation of any additional
software.
The webserver application allows the user to work remotely on the instrument in
a more comfortable way, whether to check status of signal output, to set
parameters, to change selected services, for general maintenance, etc.
5.2 Login
The default IP of this device is 192.168.29.30.
In first place, check the IP address of the PC. It must be in the same IP
range of the device. This means, an IP like 192.168.29.xxx (xxx can be 0 to
255 except 30 to avoid conflict with module IP address). Add a new IP or
change the current one to meet this requirement.
Check connections. The Ethernet cable must be connected to the control
input (see description chapter). It is recommended to try a ping on the
command-line interface to confirm they are on the same network range and
communication between them is possible.
Now use a web browser to run the webserver application from the PC. Write
the IP address (by default 192.168.29.30) on the URL bar and press ENTER.
If connection is successful, the browser will display a login screen (see
description chapter). Enter the Username and Password (by default both are
“Admin”) then click on ‘Login’ to enter the webserver application.
NOTE : After communication is established, the user can set a new IP address on
the module to suit the range of its own Ethernet network or PC.
NOTE : Write down the new IP address if you change the default IP address, as it
is required each time you want to communicate. If you neither do not
know nor remember the IP of the module, press the IP address reset
button (see description chapter) to set the device to the default IP.
