1 Introduction Special features of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation’s “Centralized Controller AG-150A,” “Centralized Controller GB-50ADA-A,” and “Centralized Controller GB-50ADA-J” are that a PC connected to a LAN can be used to monitor the operation condition of air conditioners, perform air conditioner operations, and make initial settings. This document explains the procedures for making initial settings for the Centralized Controller using the web browser.
2 Setting the Operating Environment PC settings and web browser settings required for using a web browser to monitor air conditioner units and perform operations are explained in the following pages. 2-1 Setting the PC IP Address Set an IP address on the PC that enables AG-150A to connect via a web browser. For instance, if the AG-150A IP address is [192.168.1.1], the PC IP address will need to belong to the same system [192.168.1.101].
(4) In the [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties] dialog, click [Use the following IP address] and enter the IP address (for example, “192.168.1.101”) that you want to set in the IP address field. You normally set [255.255.255.0] as the subnet mask. Note: Ask your LAN administrator to provide the IP addresses and subnet mask. (5) Click the [OK] button to close this dialog, and then close the other open dialogs to complete the network setting.
2-2 Setting the Web Browser Use a security device such as a VPN router when connecting the AG-150A to the Internet to prevent unauthorized access. If no security devices are installed, the operation settings may be changed by an unauthorized person without the knowledge of the user. Necessary web browser settings must be performed to enable the web browser to connect to the AG-150A. Note: The settings and screen images used as examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer 6.0.
2-2-3 Connecting to the Internet using a proxy server (Using an existing LAN) If the PC you use for monitoring air conditioners and performing operations is going to access the Internet via proxy server by connecting to an existing LAN such as a LAN within your company, use the procedure given below to set the web browser environment settings. By performing these settings, your PC will connect to a proxy server only when connecting to the Internet.
2-3 Setting the Java Execution Environment When using Java Plug-in version 1.6.0_10 or later, make the following environment settings (not required for version 1.6.0_09 or earlier).
