browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator as long as the PC is installed Active-X or Plug-in program. The very image that is shown at the moment when you click the menu is saved. 4) To Home This is to go to main viewer. The main viewer is set in administrator’s page. 5) Capture This is to capture image and save as a file. This menu is the same function as ‘Save File As’ menu. 6) Admin Clicking ‘Admin’ menu, you go to a login page of administration page.
VII. Configuring Administrator’s Condition at ‘Admin’ page This page is for administrator. Administrator may control operating status remotely. This page can be accessed through Setup program by clicking ‘Start Configuration’ button. 1. Administrator Login 1) Accessing through setup program First you click on MAC address or IP address of NetServer to select a certain one.
Therefore it is very important to set a proper name for user to find the NetServer in the dynamic IP registration list. (For detailed information, refer to ‘Dynamic IP Registration Service for ISDN, xDSL User’) (2) Model By clicking ‘Detailed H/W Information’, you may view the detailed hardware information such as maximum numbers of channel, serial port, digital input, digital output, etc. The model name is marked automatically.
(1) User Account There are one administrator’s account and 5 users’ accounts. Account name can be changed. (2) Password If you want to open your NetServer to everyone, you may not change default user’s ID and password. However you should change administrator’s ID and password as unique ones. ID and Password Limitation It is very important to compose any ID or password within 9 bytes’ limit. 9 bytes are equal to 9 English characters.
3) Network Configuration This page is to define network type and set network addresses of NetServer. (1) DHCP Client Protocol DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is to manage host address on a network. With this protocol, every host on a LAN may share limited official IP address for Internet access. In other words, every host on a LAN ma y lease official IP address from DHCP server temporarily.
(3) Ethernet Interface Administrator may configure IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, gateway address, and DNS addresses of NetServer. For broadcast address, administrator may set it automatically by clicking ‘Get From Netmask’ button after assigning IP address and subnet mask. When the addresses are not assigned properly, any user cannot access NetServer from local or remote network.
(4) xDSL Interface If NetServer is connected on xDSL line and needs PPPoE process, administrator should select network interface as ‘xDSL (PPPoE)’. And administrator should configure user ID and password for PPPoE. ID and password may be acquired from the ISP that installed the line. And NetServer may get IP address when it is connected on xDSL line.
Dial-out 1: It is for NetServer to make dial-up progress to connect to ISP for PPP connection. NetServer dials up to ISP according to the event that is configured at administration page of ‘Application Configuration’. After PPP connection is made, NetServer sends e-mail or file. The process is as follows. • NetServer dials up to ISP to connect on Internet. • ISP asks information for login such as ID, password, etc, and NetServer answers to corresponding questions.
monitor real-time image. Below items especially user ID, password, and phone number are used for NetServer to connect ISP based on standard PPP. Therefore if your PSTN doesn’t need special login script, NetServer dials up to make PPP connection with these items. ID/Password: It is to put proper user ID and password for connecting to ISP. Phone : It is to put telephone number of ISP. If a prefix needs in dialing (e.g. 9), you should mark tick on the menu and put the prefix the following square.
To solve the problem Philips runs a server making a list of NetServers that have dynamic IP addresses. On the server, NetServer registers its information such as name, location, and description, so that common users may detect a certain NetServer. Name, location and description are assigned at ‘System Configuration’ page. If administrator does not change them, the NetServer will register default information on the list, and it will be very difficult to point out and access a certain NetServer.
(5) Access Token Access token is a password and it is used when you register your own NetServer on a list ‘User’s NetServer’ out of all NetServers on WRS (NetServer Registration Server). Please refer to Article 5) ‘How to find a registered NetServer in NetServer Internet homepage’ for more detailed information. Private List and Access Token You should set the access token if you configure your NetServer to register its information on a private list at NetServer Internet homepage (www.NetServer.to).
login this homepage, WRS (NetServer Registration Server) detects and shows all the NetServers that you listed appear on your own list. Therefore you may access any of them without searching it from WRS (NetServer Registration Service) list nor verifying access token again. So it is very convenient to have the list when you run several NetServers having dynamic IP addresses. Search and Append: This menu is to append a certain NetServer on your own list. You may append NetServer on your own list as follows.
IP address is constructed as follows. IP address construction in binary number of each bit xxxxxxxx (8 bit): X1 xxxxxxxx (8 bit): X2 xxxxxxxx (8 bit): X3 xxxxxxxx (8 bit): X4 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 7 E.g. IP address in binary: 11000000. 10101000. 00000001. 00001101 (It is equal to 192.168.1.13) * Binary number 1 means to take the equivalent decimal number (27 , 25 , etc) and 0 means to disregard it.
