Web Interface
The generator has a built-in Web server that enables you to interact with the generator
using a PC and an Ethernet connection. The Web interface includes the following
functions:
Virtual Front Panel for operating the generator remotely.
Generator FTP Browser for copying files between media within the generator,
between generators, and between a generator and a PC.
Format Editor for creating formats and modifying and viewing format parameters.
For more information about the Format Editor, Refer to the User's Guide for
instructions on using the Format Editor.
CMD Terminal for operating the generator using the command line interface.
Calibration reports (Currently not available)
This section describes how to operate the Virtual Front Panel and the Generator FTP
Browser.
Establishing a Network Environment
To utilize the Web interface features you have to create a network environment for your
generators. You must physically connect the generators to the network, and then config-
ure their IP addresses and the IP address of the file server (which must be different).
Procedures for these tasks are described in this section.
In a typical networked environment, you will connect the generators to the corporate, IP-
based Ethernet LAN. In this scenario, you connect a standard Ethernet patch cable
between the Ethernet port on the generator and a LAN access jack or to a local hub. The
file server is also connected to the LAN in the same manner.
