Testing the Connection
The connection between the APWeb board and the LAN should be tested to complete the setup.
The instructions below open the APWeb site to the user’s Home page, which has limited access to
the APWeb server. If you need full access to configuration and security settings, see the
APWeb Instruction Manual on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.
To test the connection:
1.
Launch a browser on your computer.
2. Type http://192.168.0.251 (default address) in the address bar and press Enter.
The Enter Network Password dialog box opens.
If the dialog box does not open, see the Troubleshooting section below and contact your network
administrator.
3. Enter the case-sensitive default user name none and password none.
4. Click OK.
APWeb opens.
5. For setup and operation details for the APWeb server, see the APWeb Instruction Manual.
Troubleshooting
If the Enter Network Password dialog box does not open:
 Check all power, signal, and link connections; check to be sure the entire system is powered.
 Check the Power LED on the APWeb board (see page 46) to be sure it is illuminated.
 Check the cable type (see cable requirements on page 49). We recommend connecting the
APWeb board directly to a PC for testing purposes.
 Ping the system. At the DOS prompt enter: ping 192.168.0.251
 Verify that the APWeb’s IP address is included in the “Bypass Proxy Server” list in the
Internet Options for the attached PC.
If not, add the address in the Exceptions field in the Proxy Setting dialog box.
 Try connecting to the APWeb server again.
 If the problem persists, contact technical support (see page 34).
Troubleshooting strategies for other types of concerns can be found on the next two pages.
