9.3. WEB SERVER INTERFACE
A simple web server interface is provided for control over the VIP. This interface is accessed remotely
via an IP connection to the device from a PC. To interface to the VIP and control using the web
interface simply set the IP address on the VIP, place a PC on the same network either directly
connecting to the VIP via cross over Ethernet cable or through a network switch. Ensure the PC’s
network adapter is set to the same network as the VIP. For example, if the VIP is set to 192.168.9.100,
then set the PC to 192.168.9.xxx (any value between 2 and 254 excluding the value 100 which is the
VIP module). Once the PC is confirmed to be on the same network as the VIP (use PING in DOS
window to confirm), open a web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, or Fire Fox, etc) (address bar) and in
the navigation toolbar type the IP address of the VIP (for example, 192.168.9.100). Upon connecting
the VIP, the VIP will display the screen identified in Figure 9-1, where the card provides access to
control using standard web interface navigation tools.
The web browser is easy to navigate. Simply select a major category, either Card Setup or Layout, and
then use the sub categories in the main body of the page to navigate and setup specific options for the
module. To ensure that the settings being viewed are correct, first press the “Update” button on the
page to refresh the view. Secondly, make a change using the simple drop down dialog boxes. After a
change has been made, press the Save button to apply the change to the card. Some changes may
require the card to be restarted or reset. The following sections detail the various card options
available through the web client interface.
