IPS-800/1600-D20 Series - User’s Guide
5.2. Communicating with the IPS
In order to configure the unit or invoke command functions, you must first
connect to the IPS and access command mode. As discussed in Section 3, the
IPS offers two separate command interfaces: the Web Browser Interface, and
the Text Interface.
The IPS also offers three different methods for accessing command mode; via
network, via external modem, or via local PC. The Web Browser Interface is
only available when the IPS is contacted via network, and the Text Interface is
available via network, modem or local PC. The sections that follow describe
the procedure for accessing the Web Browser Interface or the Text Interface.
Note: Configuration functions are only available when you have
logged into the IPS command mode using the System Password.
5.2.1. Accessing the Web Browser Interface
In order to use the Web Browser Interface, the IPS must be connected to a
TCP/IP network, and your PC must be equipped with a JavaScript enabled web
browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator.)
1. Start your JavaScript enabled Web Browser.
2. Key the IPS’s IP address (default = http://192.168.168.168) into the web
browser’s address bar, and then press
[Enter].
