4. Web interface
Every PR-43 refractometer has a built-in web server with a homepage. The refractometer
homepage allows you to configure, monitor, verify and diagnose the refractometer.
Once a refractometer is connected, the homepage is accessed by simply entering the
refractometer’s IP address into the address bar of the computer’s web browser.
Opening the refractometer homepage:
1. Establish a functioning ethernet connection to the refractometer. For further de- tails, see
Ethernet connection (page 10) .
2. Open your preferred web browser (for example Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari,
Edge or Chrome).
3. The address (URL) to access the refractometer’s homepage is the refractometer’s IP
address, which for a factory default set PR-43 it is 169.254.43.43. Type the IP address in
the browser address bar, then “enter”, just as you would enter any other web address (for
example
http://www.kpatents.com/)
4. Wait until the homepage is loaded, this may take a few seconds.
The page looks approximately as in Main page (page 16) ; the exact appearance of the
page depends on your browser and screen settings.
5. Using the links in the link bar at the left side of the page you may access more extensive
refractometer information.
JavaScript support must be enabled in the browser in order for the web pages to
function as intended.
