Network Setting By Using An Http Browser - NEC MultiSync UN552 User Manual

Network Setting by Using an HTTP Browser

Overview
Connecting the monitor to a network allows for remote control of the monitor from a computer connected to the same network.
The IP address and subnet mask of the monitor can be set on the Network Setting screen of the web browser by using an HTTP
server. When connecting to a DHCP server, the IP address and subnet mask will be obtained automatically when the monitor is
turned on. Please be sure to use "Microsoft Internet Explorer 10" or a higher version for the web browser.
This device uses "JavaScript" and "Cookies" and the browser should be set to accept these functions. Refer to the help files for
the web browser to change the settings to use JavaScript and Cookies.
To access the HTTP server, launch a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as the monitor and enter the
following URL in the web address field:
Network Setting
http://<the Monitor's IP address>/index.html

NOTEN:
• The default IP address is assigned automatically to the monitor.

• NaViSet Administrator software for managing monitors over the network is recommended. It can be download from
the NEC Display website (See

• If the [MONITOR NETWORK SETTINGS] screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to
refresh your web browser (or clear the cache).

• If the monitor appears to be slow in response to commands or clicks on buttons in the browser, or the general speed
of operation is unacceptable, this may be due to network traffic or the settings on your network. Should this happen,
consult your network administrator.

• The monitor may not respond if the buttons shown on the browser are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should
this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can't get a response, turn the monitor off and then back on.
Preparation Before Use
Connect the monitor to the network, using a commercially available LAN cable, before attempting to use browser operations.
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting
method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have been set will not be shown,
depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in operation. It is
recommended that a proxy server is not used unless the network environment requires it.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
A host name can be used in the following cases (corresponding to the IP address of the monitor):
The host name must be registered in the domain name system (DNS) by the network administrator. You can then access the
network settings of the monitor via this registered host name by using a compatible browser.
If the host name has been configured in the "HOSTS" file of the computer being used, you can then access the network settings
of the monitor via this host name by using a compatible browser.
Example 1: When the host name of the monitor has been set to "pd.nec.co.jp", access is gained to the network setting by
specifying http://pd.nec.co.jp/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the monitor is "192.168.73.1", access is gained to the mail alert settings by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
