Advanced Operation: Using the Niagara SCX Web Interface
Accessing the Web Interface
The Niagara SCX Web Interface does not require software and works with any computer that has a
current Web browser, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux machines. The Niagara Pro system
must either reside on a shared IP network with the computer or can be directly connected to a
Windows computer using an Ethernet cable (RJ45).
To access the Niagara SCX Web Interface, open the Web browser on your computer and access the
Web Interface by typing in the Niagara Pro machine name. For example, you would type
http://ps078906. The network name of the Niagara Pro is also its serial number and can be obtained
from the LCD readout during the power up process.
If the Niagara Pro is already powered up, the serial number can be obtained from the LCD display
while the system is idle.
At that time, the Niagara Pro LCD display will alternate between readouts similar to the following
displays:
If the name is not immediately displayed on the Niagara Pro is Ready window, press the <UP> and
<DOWN> arrow buttons to toggle through the system information until the name is displayed.
The serial number is also located on the bottom of the Niagara Pro.
Enter the Niagara Pro name in the Web Browser (as shown below) and press enter.
You will be prompted with a login screen that requires a username and password. By default, the
username and password are both admin.
After logging in, you will have access to all of the Web-enabled functions including encoder
operations, management, and system configuration tools.
