CHAPTER 5 M-Series IP Interface and
PC Operations
The M-Series cameras and JCUs are network devices that communicate over an
Ethernet network using Internet Protocol (IP). In addition to using a JCU to control
and configure a camera, a user or installer can also complete similar operations
and even more advanced configurations using a Web browser when a PC or a
laptop is connected to the network. This IP interface also allows marine
electronics integrators with software development capabilities to design
customized applications that integrate the camera and JCU capabilities with other
types of marine electronics.
Supported Web browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7 or 8 on PC
platforms running Microsoft Windows. Internet Explorer 8 may have to be
configured to run in compatibility mode.
This chapter describes how to use a Web browser to communicate with and
configure the M-Series cameras and JCUs. Integrators are encouraged to contact
FLIR directly to obtain more detailed information about the Nexus Software
Developer’s Kit (SDK) and the communication protocols supported on the
M-Series cameras and JCUs.
In most M-Series camera installations, a PC may not be needed or used. One or
more JCUs will allow complete control and configuration of all the cameras on the
network.The M-Series Web interface may be useful for more complex installations
that have other devices on the network or a need for customization.
M-Series Web Control
If you have a PC on the same network as the camera and JCU, you can use the
PC to control and configure the system, the same as you would with the JCU. The
