Using the Embedded Web Pages
The PCS4 features an embedded web server, which includes factory set web pages. These
pages can be replaced with user-designed files, but the default web pages provide many
basic features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the PCS4 via a web browser. This
section provides an overview of the embedded web pages.
To access the embedded web pages:
1. Launch a web browser (for example, Internet Explorer
®
) on your connected computer.
2. On the browser Address line, enter the PCS4 IP address. If a password has been set, the
Enter Network Password dialog box opens.
If no password has been set, the PCS4 web page opens, displaying the System Status
page. Skip steps 3 and 4.
3. In the User Name field on the password window, enter text of your choice, or leave the
User Name field blank.
