4.1 Requirements
The devices' web interface (web GUI) is compatible with common operating systems such
as Apple MAC OS, Windows XP or higher. Unless otherwise indicated, the examples use
the Windows XP operating system and the Internet Explorer 8 web browser.
4.2 Network Functionality
The K-BOW devices are interconnected by an Ethernet network using bre optical connec-
tions. Within the network, the master C-hub is dened as the host, the other C-hubs, the
E-hubs and RUs are dened as slaves.
The default IP address of the master C-hub is 10.7.3.200
1)
, the IP addresses of the slaves
are assigned by the master automatically, based on the network topology.
The K-BOW devices provide a web interface (web GUI) provided by the C-hub. The
web GUI can be accessed using the web browser of a notebook. In the following, it is
described how to establish the connection between device and notebook.
1)
The IP address of the master can be modied; for details, see Device ID addr in 8.2.7, p. 40.
4.3 Accessing the Web GUI Using Ethernet via C-Hub
1. On the notebook, go to Control Panel Network Connections Local Area
Connection Properties Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties General.
2. Input the TCP/IP properties as follows (Fig. 1):
IP address : 10.7.3.1 to 10.7.3.254 (except for 10.7.3.200!)
Subnet mask : 255.0.0.0
Default gateway : 10.7.3.200 (= IP address of master C-hub)
3. Connect the notebook to the RJ45 port Local Control located at the front panel of the
master C-hub. Use a network cable.
4. Go to Network Connection Details and check if the connection was established
successfully.
5. Open the browser and enter 10.7.3.200 (default gateway address) into the address
bar ; see example in Fig. 2.
The web GUI is displayed showing the homepage (Settings DAS Topo) of the
master C-hub (Fig. 7, p. 19).
