Chapter 10 — Web Remote Control

10-1 Introduction

Web Remote Control capabilities are embedded in the LMR Master, providing full instrument
control through an HTML-5 compatible browser. The ability to remotely monitor and control
the instrument from the ground or desk enhances operator safety and efficiency when
conditions make it unsafe or impractical to be close to the instrument.
A remote connection terminates when the user logs out or closes the browser. Passwords can
be used to manage multiple-user access to the same instrument.
To prevent multi-user conflicts, only one connection is permitted at a time. A second user who
tries to take control of the instrument will be denied on his or her first access attempt. If a
second attempt is made after one minute has passed, the first user session is terminated and
another session started for the new user. This prevents an idle user from blocking access to
the instrument.
While only one user can have control of the instrument, multiple users can view the same
instrument using a desktop sharing application.

10-2 Setup

You can connect one or more instruments, through direct connection, a LAN, or portable
router, to any device with an HTML-5 browser. Current versions of Google Chrome and
Mozilla Firefox are supported. The device may be a laptop, a desktop computer, or a mobile
device, including a wide range of tablets and smart phones running Android or iOS operating
systems. Note that you cannot download files to an iOS device, for lack of a user-accessible file
system in this environment.
Physical connection is established from the instrument's Ethernet port directly to the
computer, or to a LAN or a portable Wi-Fi router such as the ZyXEL MWR102 Portable
Router.

LAN Connection

1. Connect the Ethernet port of the LMR Master to your LAN.
2. Press Shift followed by System (8).
3. Press the Status submenu key to display the Status window and take note of the
instrument IP address.
Press Esc to close the Status window.
4. If no IP address has been assigned, refer to
information on setting an IP address for the instrument. If connecting to another
network, we recommend that you request a static IP address from your network
administrator to avoid duplicate addresses.
Alternatively, you can set the instrument for dynamic IP addressing using DHCP. In a
long distance network, however, it may be difficult or impossible to determine what the
current dynamic address is, after the instrument is in the field.
