X75HD/X75SD Installation and Operation Manual 129
Chapter 7
Web Server Software Control
Overview
Once the networking parameters of the X75HD/X75SD have been
configured appropriately, and it is connected to the Ethernet network,
you can control the unit through standard Web browsing software (for
example, Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape® Navigator™
7.2, or Mozilla® Firefox™ 1.0). See “Configuring for HTTP Control
via Web Browser” on page 98 for more information.
Controlling the X75HD/X75SD remotely from your PC through a
standard Web browser gives you the same options for control and alarm
monitoring as other local and remote control methods, without the
additional costs of purchasing control panels or specialized software
applications. Using a Web browser to control the X75HD/X75SD does
not require any special hardware or software.
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
• “Launching the Web Server Software” on page 130
• “Controlling Devices” on page 131
• “Navigating Menus and Options via the Menu Navigation Tree” on
page 137
• “Monitoring Alarms” on page 138

Web browsers do not
automatically update when

a result, your Web page may
contain stale information. Using
the Back and Forward buttons
on your browser may also
present you with stale data.
Before monitoring a device, be
