How to use the microbrowser on a CE Web-panel if the PCD is connected over a serial connection to the CE Web-panel

FAQ #100568

 

    To use the microbrowser on a CE Web-panel to access a PCD with serial communication the following steps have to be performed:

• On the CE Web-panel start the Internet Explorer and define a new station on the Web-Connect page.
  Define all station settings as station name, communication mode, station number and so on.
• Close the Internet Explorer
• Start the microbrowser
  Write the IP address 127.0.0.1 on the field "Host or IP Address"
  Write the station name, which you have defined before on the Web-connect page followed by "/page_name.htm" on the field "Path"
  Example: pcd2/start.htm

Note:
The CE Web-panel does lose his own TCP/IP address (defined on the "Saia PCD Web Panel Manager") if the CE Web-panel is not connected to a other TCP/IP device. This behaviour is related to CE Web-panel.
That means, that it's not possible to use the own TCP/IP address on the microbrowser entry filed, if the CE Web-panel is not connected to an other TCP/IP device.
