APPENDIX F: ETHERNET CONTROL
The 10BaseT Ethernet connector, labeled Ethernet on the rear of the unit, is used to
connect the DPS-475/575 to a TCP/IP-based network for remote control and status
monitoring through web-browsing software.
Configuring Ethernet Control
To utilize Ethernet control of the DPS-475/575, the unit must be configured for your
network. Three networking parameters, found in the Remote Control Setup sub-menu
of the System Config menu, must be configured for your network:
IP Address
Netmask
Gateway
Your network administrator can provide you with appropriate settings. If you are
setting up a new, dedicated network for the DPS-475/575 unit, the default IP Address
of 10.0.XX.YY should be adequate; the controlling computer would then have
another address in this range (eg. 10.0.0.100). See Chapter 12, “Menus: System
Config” for details of setting these options.
It is also recommended that you specify a Machine Name; this option is found in the
same sub-menu. The Machine Name will be used to reference the DPS-475/575 unit
by remote control devices such as the RC-475 or additional DPS-475/575’s.
Web Browser Control
Once the networking parameters of the DPS-475/575 have been configured, and it is
connected to the Ethernet network, the unit can be controlled through standard web
browsing software (for example, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer).
To access the DPS-475/575, start the web browsing software on your computer as
normal.
In the Address, Location, or URL field of your web browser (the name given to this
field varies between different web browsers), type http:// followed by the IP Address
of the DPS-475/575 you are trying to control. For example, the DPS-475/575 is
configured with the IP Address 10.0.0.1, you would enter the following location into
your web browser:
http://10.0.0.1
The browser will then display the DPS-475/575 Web Server Control interface.
