Remote Control Ports
Remote control methods that are supported include the following:
• 10Base-T or 100/Base-T Ethernet networking used for control
through a TCP/IP-based network using a controller such as the
RCP-X75 remote control panel
• Web browser program such as Internet Explorer™ (IE) or
Netscape™
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and third-party
control software through CCS EP (Extended Protocol)
• GPI (General Purpose Interface) input/output used for remote
triggering of functions such as Freeze or triggering of external
devices.
Automation control via RS-232/RS-422 is reserved for future use.
Ethernet Ports
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector, labeled CTRL/STRM, is used to
connect the X75HD to a TCP/IP-based network for remote control and
status monitoring. Control of the unit is then handled through
web-browsing software or an RCP-X75 remote control panel. See
“Configuring for HTTP Control (via Web Browser)” on page 76 for
details of controlling the unit from your web browser.
Ethernet can also be used to control additional X75HD units from the
front panel of this unit. When using Ethernet, the IP Address, Netmask,
and Gateway settings of the unit must be configured for your network;
your network administrator can provide you with these settings. These
settings are located in the System Config menu.
A second port, labeled STRM, is reserved for future use.
