CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
There are two basic situations to deal with in communicating with
the power supply from a PC. They depend on whether or not the
PC is on the same side of a router as the power supply.
Connecting with PC on Same Side of Router as Power Supply
PC
IP Address: 192.168.1.100

Power Supply
IP Address: 192.168.1.101
Gateway Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
WAN Address: 10.11.27.86
Figure 6-7 PC on Same Side of Router as Power Supply
The simplest case is when they are both on the same side as in
Figure 6-7. In this example the router has assigned addresses to the
power supply (192.168.1.101) and to the PC (192.168.1.100) using
DHCP. To connect to the power supply by a Web browser, simply
enter the power supply’s router-assigned address of
“192.168.1.101” into the Web browser’s address bar. This will
open up the power supply’s Home page. It should appear similar
to Figure 6-8.
Please note that the Web page may require Java to be installed
on the Web browser for it to display properly. Java can be
installed from the Java website.
