12.0 USING THE CONTROLLER WEB BROWSER INTERFACE
The X100 controller is provided with a built-in WEB server which can be accessed through
the TCP/IP Ethernet port using a WEB browser. The WEB server employs Java Applets to
continually scan system parameters and update the WEB page data. These same Applets
return programming data to the DSC1000 when set-up changes need to be made.
The WEB server communicates with the browser using HTTP on IP Port 80 and the Java
Applets on IP Port 8888. If any firewall or proxies are configured on the LAN that the
DSC1000 is connected to it is important to ensure that these ports are open, otherwise the
DSC1000 will not respond.
A genuine Java engine must be installed on the browser PC. The latest version can be
downloaded and installed for free from
. Please note that installing only a
browser plugin may not be sufficient for correct operation; so we recommend installing a
full Java package.
If the installed version of Java is 7u45 or earlier the following procedure
“Setting up Java”
is not required for correct operation and cannot be implemented.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE APPLETS WILL NOT WORK WITH JAVA VERSION 7u51.
DO NOT INSTALLED THIS ON SYSTEMS USED TO MONITOR THE DSC1000.
WITH EFFECT FROM VERSION 7u60 THE FOLLOWING MUST BE IMPLEMENTED.
Setting up Java (7u60 or later only)
In order for the applets to be loaded correctly, you must add the IP address of the controller
to the list of site exceptions in the java control panel. This can be found in the computer’s
control panel. Once the java control panel is open, select the Security tab as below.
