The SE4000 contains an easy to use Browser configuration web-like interface. To configure the
SE4000 through the browser interface, follow the instructions below.

network. Directions for setting the IP address can be found in the front panel section of
this manual. See your IT department for more information if your are not sure of an
available address.
2.
Connect the Etherent port of the SE4000 to a hub or switch on your local network.

Open your Web browser on any networked PC. Enter the IP address of the SE4000
where the Web address normally would be. The SE4000 browser interface screen should
appear.
4.2 Remote Communications Overview
The SE4000 can be configured, monitored, and controlled from a remote unit. Unlike front panel
operations, the remote unit has no selection menus; instead, the remote terminal is used to type
specific commands and parameters to communicate with the SE4000.
All SE4000 commands can be issued from a remote unit that is connected to the SE4000 remote
port. The remote unit can be any remote unit capable of asynchronous communications,
including a personal computer or ASCII terminal.
4.2.1 Command Types
The remote unit accepts two different types of commands:
•
Execute commands direct the SE4000 to perform a specified action, such as changing a
configuration parameter.
•
Query commands direct the SE4000 to display the current setting of a specific parameter
or to display current status information.
