MV-32/64 Multiviewer www.snellgroup.com Operation

4.2 Using the web interface

The MV-32/MV-64 multiviewers are configured via a browser using web pages hosted by the

frame itself. Note that Java must first be installed on the PC or MAC that is to be used. This is

available as a free download from: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Ensure that the MV-32/MV-64 multiviewers have been connected via the correct LAN port

(see section 4.1.1 for Network settings). To access the web interface, type the IP Address

configured for the frame into a browser and the Java application should launch immediately.

Java certificates should not need to be imported, but if the certificate is not already on the

system being used, then Java will ask for permission to continue before starting the applet

(the certificate required is stored in the MV-32/MV-64 multiviewers). If 'Run' is selected

without ticking the box for 'Always trust content from this publisher', then the certificate will not

be installed, but the applet will run. It is best to tick the box so that the certificate is installed to

avoid seeing the same message next time the browser is to be accessed (assuming that the

same system is to be used).

Note:

• The default IP address is 192.168.0.120 (192.168.0.121 for second CPU in dual

frame).

• Depending on the system being used to access the web interface, one or more

factors such as Windows security, third party security products, firewalls and

browser security settings may prevent the applet loading from the MV-32/MV-64

multiviewers. For example, if using MS Internet Explorer 7, the security setting

should be no higher than 'Mid'.

• If Java platform 1.7.0_21 or later is being used Java will try to connect to the

internet to check if the application security certificate has been revoked. If the

multiviewer is not connected to the internet the check will timeout after 30 Seconds

and a dialog will be displayed saying the certificate cannot be verified with an

option to confirm that the application should still be run. Confirm and the Java

application will be launched. See Appendix C.2 for full details and also how to avoid

this delay if the multiviewer is never connected to the internet.

• If the Java applet reports an error the computer may be trying to use an

incompatible cached version of the multiviewer applet.

See “Why does the Java applet report an error or say 'Program Will Not Load'

when launching the web interface?” in Appendix C.2 for the solution.
