4.0 LB-ICP WEB SERVER DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The ICP Web Server provides user friendly and intuitive web pages to
configurethe virtual keypadand automation functions within theICP. It
alsoprovides web pagesto manage the IRLearner and IRcode import.
A standard web browser can be used to access the web pages.
Accessing Web Server
TheIP address of the ICPmust be obtained in ordertoaccess the Web
Server. There are 2 ways to obtain the IP address of an ICP.
1) Use the IPCONFIG command in the Configuration Port
Command Line Interface to display the unit’s IP address.
2) Use the BCI PC Configuration Program (seeAppendix)
Type in the unit’s IP address in the web browser. The ICP Virtual
Keypad page will be displayed. All 8keys of the VirtualKeypadare un-
programmed by default. The keys are configured in the Configure
KeyAction page.

Local Unit
The first two lines in this panel show the Local unit type and software
version. Below that are the pull down menus for selecting the virtual
keypad size and enablingAutoAction Triggers.
VirtualKeypad Size:Select8 keys or16 keys. 8keys option:maximum
of 10 actions per key. 16 keys option: maximum of 5 actions per key.

Channel 1/2: RS-232 control channels.
Channel 3:RS-232 control channel or pass-through channel.Channel
3 defaults as a control channel. Set Remote Connection (Remote Unit
panel) to Disable in order to configure Channel 3 as a pass-through
channel.Channel3(Remote)is thepass-through channelon theremote
unit.
Baud Rate: Select a baud rate from 9600 to 115200 baud.
Flow Control: Select On to enable flow control and Off todisable flow
control. Flow control is available only on Channel 1. If flow control is
enabled,Channel2is no longer available.

Digital IO Channel: Select channel 1or 2.
Digital IO Direction: Select channel as a digital Input or Output.
If the Digital IO Direction is set to Input, there is an option for Pullup
Resistor.
Pullup Resistor: Select Enable or Disable pull-up resistor.
If the Digital IO Direction is set to Output, there is an option for Digital
Output Mode.
Digital Output Mode: Select TTL for a 5V compatibleTTLtypeoutput
orOpen Collector for an open collector type output. An opencollector
type output can be used to implement a contact closure type output.
For example, if a digital output is set to Open Collector, setting the
DigitalOutputStateto 1 (High) will emulateaswitch closure to ground.
Setting the Digital Output State to 0 (Low) will emulate a switch being
open. TheOpenCollectoroutputalsohasan optionfora PullupResistor.
Remote Unit
Thispanelenables the connection with the remote unit and selects the
remote unit type. This panel is not available if the Local unit type is
Standalone ICP.
Remote Connection: SelectEnable toenable the connectionwith the
remote unit. Select Disable to disable the connection with the remote
unitand enable the RS-232pass-throughchannel. None of the remote
unit control outputs will be available once Disable is selected.
Remote Unit: Select the remote unit type. The available remote unit
