If the LAN indicator is on without blinking, but communication problems persist:
• The cause may be a fixed address on the PC that is incompatible with the AUTOIP
range (169.254.xxx.xxx) of the BOP 1KW-ME. Refer to PAR. 2.7.6.1 to find the BOP
1KW-ME on the LAN, then refer to PAR. 3.5.7.2 and launch the web interface to correct
the address.
• Refer to PAR 3.5.7.4 for browser types and versions supported and settings required.
• There can be latent delays in establishing communication between various devices on
the LAN network hub, especially when the devices are powered on asynchronously. As a
result, a steady LAN indication may begin blinking again when another device or the
host computer itself is subsequently powered on. While this is a normal occurrence that
typically resolves itself within a few seconds, LAN communication is interrupted during
that time. Should this occur, first activate all devices connected to the hub and wait until
the BOP 1KW-ME rear panel LAN indicator is on steadily for several seconds before
attempting to communicate with the BOP 1KW-ME.
3.5.7.4 LAUNCH WEB INTERFACE
After finding the unit and selecting the desired unit on the LAN (see PAR. 2.7.6.1), click the
Launch Webpage button to open the BOP 1KW-ME Instrument HOME PAGE (UNIT DESCRIP-
TION) in your default browser (see Figure 3-22). You can also launch the web page in any
browser by entering the IP address as the URL.
NOTE: If source power to the BOP 1KW-ME is removed or lost while a browser window is
open, communication with the BOP 1KW-ME cannot be restored until the present
browser window is closed and a new window is opened.
Upon initial display of the web page, it is good practice to click the browser Refresh/Reload but-
ton once to ensure that the power supply information displayed is up to date, and not prior infor-
mation recalled from the browser cache.
Although most current browsers will work, Kepco recommends the following as fully supported:
Safari, IE 8.0 and higher and Firefox 1.0 and higher. Popup blocking must be disabled and
Javascript must be enabled for proper operation. If popup blocking is enabled, it may prevent
viewing of the help screens.
The BOP 1KW-ME Instrument Home page identifies the unit which has been accessed, includ-
ing Manufacturer, Instrument, Description, LXI Version (1.4), Serial Number, Calibration Date,
Hostname, MAC Address, LAN Firmware Revision and VISA Address String. Click the HELP
box at the left of the screen for detailed explanations of each. These parameters can not be
changed by the user. The hostname ends with .LOCAL if the MDNS has been completely
resolved. This feature allows for easy discovery through the MDNS or Bonjour common naming
system.
When using the unit with Kepco drivers, the user must add a 0 (or other number) to the VISA
address string to represent the actual TCPIP connection on the computer. For example
TCPIP0::192.168.1.111::5025::SOCKET is the correct VISA resource string to use with Kepco
drivers. In NiMax this is a Raw Socket address string if using this tool to configure VISA
resources.
Clicking the ID INSTRUMENT box at the left of the screen, causes the physical LAN indicator on
the rear panel of the selected unit to blink (see Figure 2-1), allowing visual confirmation as to
which unit is selected. This is especially important if more than one unit is found on the LAN.
