Launch IE Browser

Selecting this option from the menu will launch your default web browser program and tell it to go IP address 127.0.0.1, port 80. The IP address 127.0.0.1 is the standard notation for "this computer" and port 80 is the standard port for web page servers.

If you have activated the Packet Engine Pro web page server by enabling the HTTP Interface, you should see the following Login page (if not, see Troubleshooting below):

If you are working from the same computer that is hosting PE Pro, no login/password is necessary. Just press Submit.

If you are on a remote computer, you will need to enter the login and password words that were entered on the HTTP Interface screen. You must also enter the network IP address of the PE Pro computer instead of 127.0.0.1

After you login successfully, you should see this page:

You can then select the links under the main menu to go to other pages.

This interface is not full implemented and is experimental. Future versions may use new technologies and have other features.  Note: as of now, these links on the above page were not working: TCPIP Over Radio,  General and Connect(Terminal).

Troubleshooting:

  • The Login Page does not appear
    • The PE Pro server pages (ending in .htm) must be installed in the HTTP folder within your main PE Pro folder.
    • Be sure to enter 127.0.0.1 if you are working from the PE Pro computer; or the correct network IP address for the PE Pro computer if you are at a remote computer .
    • Did you change the server port number to something other than 80? If so, add it to the send of the IP address using a colon, e.g. 192.168.0.1:84
    • Check that your router or firewall program is permitting access to port 80 (or the port you have enabled) and that it is routing such requests to the PE Pro computer.
       
  • Authentication Failed
    • The Login and/or password words you entered are incorrect. Be sure they match the login/password words on the HTTP Interface screen and that each character is in the correct case (upper or lower).
