98 X75HD/X75SD Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 5: Initial Configuration
Configuring for HTTP Control via Web Browser
Once the networking parameters of the X75HD/X75SD have been
configured appropriately, and it is connected to the Ethernet network,
the built-in Web server allows a standard Web browser to control the
X75HD/X75SD unit. Before controlling your unit in this way, note the
following system and browser requirements:
• The X75HD/X75SD supports Web browsers that are compatible
with HTML 4.0 (and later).
• Although most standard Web browsers can be used with the
X75HD/X75SD for HTTP control, the following browsers have
been tested and approved by Leitch: Microsoft® Internet
Explorer 6.0, Netscape® Navigator™ 7.2, and Mozilla® Firefox™
1.0.
Procedure
To select a unit for control, follow these steps:
1. Ensure all required connections and network settings have been
made locally on your X75HD/X75SD unit(s).
2. Open a supported Web browser, and then type the IP address of the
unit you wish to control into the Address, Location, or URL field
of your Web browser (the name of the field depends on the Web
browser you are using). For example, type the following to control
an X75HD/X75SD unit with this IP address:
http://192.168.100.250
The Web browser then displays the Home page of the
X75HD/X75SD Control interface (Web server).
See “Chapter 7: Web Server Software Control” on page 129 for more
information.
Note
Web browser control is only
available for X75HD/X75SD
units, and not for X75-RCP
panels.
