CONFIGURING THE WEB SERVER
ACCESSING THE WEB SERVER
USING ETHERNET
The principal and easiest way to access the web server is via Ethernet. If your G3 is
connected to the Local Area Network (LAN) and has a valid IP address, start your Web
Browser and type the G3 Ethernet IP address to connect to the G3 web server. The browser
will then display the menu page or require login if authentication is activated.
In case the TCP port defined in the Web Server module is different from 80, the IP address
entered in the web browser has to be followed by a colon (:) and the port required. For
example: http://192.168.1.10:81
USING MODEMS
The second way to access the web server is via a modem connection. The G3 supports
multiple types of modems such as Landline, GSM and GPRS. The G3 Ethernet port does
NOT have to be activated if you only plan to access the web server via modem. Please refer
to the Advanced Communication – Working With Modems section for more details about
modem configuration.
For a PPP and modem server configuration, once the PC and the modem are connected, the IP
address required in the browser is NOT the G3 Ethernet port IP address, but the Local
Address defined on the Comm. Port where the PPP modem protocol is selected. The remote
address is the one obtained by the PC upon its connection with the modem.
For a PPP and modem client configuration, the G3 will most likely connect to the Internet
using an Internet access provider. The IP address to enter in your web browser is therefore the
one provided by this service. For this reason, you will most likely require a fixed IP address
to be able to access the G3 web server.
In case the TCP port defined in the Web Server module is different from 80, the IP address
entered in the web browser has to be followed by a colon (:) and the port required. For
example: http://192.168.100.0:81.
