Octaire Instruction Manual

System Requirements

 PC with Windows XP Professional

, Windows 2000

Design Requirement

AMX highly recommends deploying only one APWeb server per system. Any configuration violating

this recommendation may not be backed by the technical support agreement. APWeb offers a single,

remote access point to a system, and its interactions with that system can cause interference and collision

issues if more than one APWeb server is present.

Note: The instructions in this chapter assume that all of the AMX AutoPatch devices in the system

are connected and powered up.

Opening the APWeb Server

Caution: We strongly recommend that the APWeb server site be placed inside your network firewall

and that system security be turned on.

A worksheet to record connection information is provided at the end of this chapter (see page 86).

To set up the APWeb server:

Follow the directions on page 35 for connecting the TCP/IP connector on the Octaire’s CPU to a

LAN or to a network card in a PC.

2. Launch a browser on your PC.

3. Type http://192.168.0.251 (the default APWeb IP address) in the address bar of the browser and

press Enter.

The Enter Network Password dialog box opens.

Note: If the Enter Network Password dialog box does not open, see page 93 for troubleshooting

strategies.

4. Enter the (case sensitive) default admin user name: super

5. Enter the (case sensitive) default admin password: super

6. Click OK.

APWeb opens to the Home page for the Network Administrator.

(The user’s Home page has limited access and can be opened by entering the default user name and

password of none and none, i.e., the character string n-o-n-e.)
