WEB CONFIGURATION AND TESTING
COPYCAM WEB SERVER INTRODUCTION
CopyCam can save copies to the internal web server located in the
camera arm. Users access copies over a Local Area Network (LAN)
using any web browser.
Using CopyCam’s web server is optional. However, to change
CopyCam’s advanced settings, you must access the CopyCam web
server.
Although CopyCam does not require installing software on any
computer, a web page is provided on the CopyCam installation
CD-ROM to help you locate the CopyCam IP address(es) on your Local
Area Network.
If you misplace the CopyCam configuration CD-ROM, configuring the
CopyCam web server requires Internet access to the PolyVision web
site from a computer participating in the same LAN as the CopyCam
installation. Find the CopyCam web server configuration page under
“CopyCam” at http://www.websterboards.com.
CONFIGURING THE COPYCAM WEB SERVER
Multiple CopyCam systems may be installed on the same LAN. Your
LAN can use DHCP or fixed IP protocols. DHCP allows CopyCam to
obtain its LAN address automatically. If you are unsure of whether to
use DHCP, check with your system administrator.
If your LAN uses DHCP, CopyCam initiates its own configuration when
you power on the system. CopyCam asks the network for an available
IP address and assigns it to itself. If, instead, your LAN uses fixed IP
addresses, CopyCam listens on the ethernet network and performs
“IP address squatting” to assign itself a temporary IP address. In
order for you to learn the IP address it has acquired, you need access
to a web page that you open from the CopyCam installation CD-ROM,
or from the PolyVision web site.
