SPG600 & SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators User Manual B-1
Appendix B: Using the Remote Interface
The sync pulse generator can be accessed two ways over an Ethernet network:
using a Web browser or by running a Java applet. If you install Java on your PC,
you can use a Java applet to change the instrument settings and to upload and
download presets and logos. The Java applet provides a control window that gives
you complete control over instrument settings from a remote PC.
Using a Web Browser
You can use a Web browser to connect to the sync pulse generator and perform
simple operations without installing any. To use a Web browser, the sync pulse
generator must be connected to a local area network via Ethernet. You will need to
set the IP address, subnet mask, and possibly the gateway address, depending on
your network configuration. For information on how to set the network parameters,
refer to Network Setup Submenu on page 3-30.
To use a Web browser to connect to the sync pulse generator:
1. Press the SYSTEM button to enter the System menu.
2. Press the up (
S) or down (T) arrow button to select NETWORK.
3. Press the left (
W) or right (X) arrow button to select Setup and then press the
ENTER button.
4. Press the up (
S) or down (T) arrow button to select WEB INTERFACE.
5. Press the left (
W) or right (X) arrow button to select Enable and then press the
ENTER button.
6. Start your Web browser and type the network address of the sync pulse
generator into the URL entry box. For example:
http://117.117.898.898/
NOTE. Many web browsers do not correctly interpret leading zeros in IP
addresses. If the IP address shown in the Configuration menu contains leading
zeros, such as in 134.151.037.251, remove the “0” when entering it into the
address line of the browser. For example, 134.151.037.251 should be entered as
134.151.37.251.
