Configuring the RemotEye II via HTTP

The RemotEye II can be configured by opening a web session with the device.
Hardware Setup
Web configuration is accomplished through a network link. Follow these steps to prepare the hardware
for HTTP RemotEye II configuration:
1. Verify network cable connection to NETWORK port of RemotEye II.
2. Verify active link to LAN or Network.
3. For further information on the network connection, refer to Making the Network Connection on
page 19.
Software Setup
The web configuration is accomplished through a TCP/IP network connection. A web connection can be
established with RemotEye II by using any Internet Browser application (for example, Netscape). Follow
these steps to setup the software for web-based RemotEye II configuration:
1. Verify workstation is loaded with web browser application.
2. Verify a valid network path exists between RemotEye II and the workstation. If performing the
web configuration from a workstation that is located on the same network, then proceed to the
next section; otherwise, refer back to the section entitled Routing to the RemotEye II on page
39.
System Setup
To access the RemotEye II via the web, enter the IP address of the RemotEye II in the URL field of the
browser and press Enter. If unable to access the RemotEye II due to a firewall, contact the network
administrator for information on bypassing the firewall of the LAN.
The HTTP Security Control setting may also affect the user's ability to access the RemotEye II. The HTTP
Security Control setting may be set or viewed from: Main Menu → (1) TIC RemotEye II Configuration
→(2) Control Group → (7) HTTP Security Control.
If the HTTP Security Control setting is Disabled, the user is granted read-only access. If the HTTP
Security Control is Enabled, any attempt to access RemotEye II pages will be met with a request to enter
a password. Once the password has been entered in the user will be able to not only view the
information, but make changes accordingly. The password is the same as the Community Read/Write
string (see Main Menu → (1) Toshiba RemotEye II Configuration → (2) Control Group → (3) Community
Read/Write).
Once access to the RemotEye II is achieved, refer to this section for information on how to use the web-
based administration interface to monitor and maintain the RemotEye II. This section also provides
information on the built-in administrative functions of the RemotEye II.
To prevent unauthorized users from configuring the RemotEye II via HTTP, the IP address of the
workstation must be entered in the RemotEye II SNMP Communities with no access permissions (via
RS232 or Telnet) or the SNMP/ HTTP Access Control (via Web Browser) of the RemotEye II. Otherwise,
the RemotEye II will provide only read access to its parameters.
