Communicating Over the LAN
Using the Graphical Web Interface
B2980 has a built-in graphical web interface that lets you control it directly from
an Web browser on your computer. Multiple simultaneous connections are
allowed, but only from one computer. With additional connections, performance
will be reduced. Multiple connections from multiple computers are not allowed.
With the graphical web interface, you can access the front panel control functions
including the LAN configuration parameters. This is a convenient way to
communicate with the B2980 without using I/O libraries or drivers.
The built-in graphical web interface only operates over the LAN interface. It
requires Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 2. You will also need the Java Plug-in. This
is included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Java's website.
The graphical web interface is enabled when shipped.
