THE INTERNAL WEB PAGES
The P3F master station includes a set of Web pages that may be remotely accessed via Ethernet.
They can be used for setting up the system, examining the system for any faults or alarms and also for
controlling the actuators on the network (provided the Interlock permission is set to allow this feature).
If the master station is connected to an Ethernet Network it will act as a server and any computer
within that network can connect to the master station. The master station can also be configured and
the field network set up by using these web pages. The host system or PC connected via the Ethernet
Network or directly will need a web browser such as Internet Explorer to access the master station
web pages
5.1 Making an Internet / intranet Connection
Connect the master station to an Ethernet host as described in section 4, or connect via a suitable
router to the internet / intranet. A laptop or PC can be directly connected to port 3 or 4 or to the
configuration connector, if there is no network connection available. Details of directly connecting a
laptop are contained in the section on setting up with a PC, below.
Start the browser and enter the IP address of the master station. The default address is 10.200.1.1, so
the address is
http://10.200.1.1
. The browser will then access the master station and bring up the
opening page of the master station. In order to log in as a verified user enter a user name of
admin
and a password of
admin
. (These default names should be altered as soon as convenient to prevent
unauthorized access to the system.)

Once entry to the web pages has been made, if no changes to the display or information is made for
10 minutes, the system will automatically log out and the user/password must be re-entered.
5.2 Connecting a Laptop Directly to the Master Station
The simplest direct connection to the master station is by using the Ethernet port on the front of the
main pcb. A standard Ethernet patch cable can be used to link the two directly. The connector will
accept either a standard patch cable or a direct link cable that has a twist between the transmit pair
and receive pair in the cable. A permanent PC connection can also be made directly to the main
Ethernet connector (port 3 or 4). In order to establish a connection it may be necessary to adjust the
settings of the Laptop Internet connection.
