Chapter 9 — Web Remote Control
9-1 Introduction
Web Remote Control capabilities are embedded in the Site Master, providing full instrument
control through an HTML-5 compatible browser. Ethernet Option 411 is required. The ability
to remotely monitor and control the instrument from the ground or desk enhances operator
safety and efficiency when conditions make it unsafe or impractical to be close to the
instrument.
A remote connection terminates when the user logs out or closes the browser. Passwords can
be used to manage multiple-user access to the same instrument.
To prevent multi-user conflicts, only one connection is permitted at a time. A second user who
tries to take control of the instrument will be denied on his or her first access attempt. If a
second attempt is made after one minute has passed, the first user session is terminated and
another session started for the new user. This prevents an idle user from blocking access to
the instrument.
While only one user can have control of the instrument, multiple users can view the same
instrument using a desktop sharing application.
9-2 Setup
You can connect one or more instruments, through direct connection, a LAN, or portable
router, to any device with an HTML-5 browser. Current versions of Google Chrome and
Mozilla Firefox are supported. The device may be a laptop, a desktop computer, or a mobile
device, including a wide range of tablets and smart phones running Android or iOS operating
systems. Note that you cannot download files to an iOS device, for lack of a user-accessible file
system in this environment.
Physical connection is established from the instrument’s Ethernet port directly to the
computer, or to a LAN or a portable Wi-Fi router such as the ZyXEL MWR102 Portable
Router.
LAN Connection
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the Site Master to your LAN.
2. Press Shift followed by System (8).
3. Press the Status submenu key to display the Status window and take note of the
instrument IP address.
Press Esc to close the Status window.
4. If no IP address has been assigned, refer to Appendix B, “LAN and DHCP” for
information on setting an IP address for the instrument. If connecting to another
network, we recommend that you request a static IP address from your network
administrator to avoid duplicate addresses.
