Embedded Web Server
10.1
Overview
The interface contains an embedded web server (also known as an HTTP
server), which allows users to access the drive’s internal data in a graphical
manner with web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox. In this way, the drive can be monitored, configured and controlled from
across the room or from across the globe.
In order to view the interface’s web page, the free Adobe (formerly
Macromedia) Flash Player browser plug-in is required. If the plug-in is not
already installed on your computer, then your browser will automatically be
redirected to the appropriate Adobe download web site when you initially
attempt to access the interface’s web page. Alternatively, the plug-in can be
downloaded directly by going to
http://www.adobe.com
, and choosing the “get
Adobe Flash Player” link. Always ensure that you have the latest version of the
Flash Player installed: if some aspect of the web page does not appear to be
displayed properly, installing the latest Flash Player update usually resolves the
problem.
