2. Setting the Operating Environment
This chapter explains how to make PC settings and Web browser settings to monitor the air conditioning units.
2-1. Setting the IP Address of the PC
Follow the instructions below to set the PC’s IP address for the Web browser to recognize the AE-200 unit.
The PC’s IP address must have the same network address as the AE-200/AE-50’s IP address.
(i.e., AE-200’s IP address: [192.168.1.1], PC’s IP address: [192.168.1.101])
When connecting an AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 to an existing LAN, consult the system administrator to decide the IP
addresses.
Note: When using an AE-200/AE-50/EW-50-dedicated LAN, it is recommended that the AE-200 unit be assigned an IP address
between the range [192.168.1.1] and [192.168.1.40], the AE-50/EW-50 unit be assigned an IP address between the
range [192.168.1.211] and [192.168.1.249], and that the PC connected to the AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 be assigned an IP
address between the range [192.168.1.101] and [192.168.1.150].
(1) Click [Control Panel] in the Start menu.
(2) Click [Network and Sharing Center]>[Local Area Setting].
In the [Local Area Connection Status] window, click [Properties].
(3) Click [Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)] to select it, and click
[Properties].

WT07324X02 4
(4) In the [Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties] window,
check the radio button next to [Use the following IP address].
Enter the PC’s IP address (e.g., [192.168.1.101]) in the [IP address]
field, and enter the subnet mask [255.255.255.0] (unless otherwise
specified) in the [Subnet mask] field.
In the [Default gateway] field, enter the gateway address as
necessary.

IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) in the [Exceptions] field. Then, keep
clicking [OK] or [Close] to close all windows.
If connecting multiple AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 units, enter their
addresses (e.g., [192.168.1.1; 192.168.1.2]). It is also possible to use
an asterisk as a wildcard (e.g., [192.168.1.*]).

html].
Note: Default IP address of AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 is [192.168.1.1].
When one or more AE-50/EW-50 controllers are
connected, none of their IP addresses should overlap. The
recommended IP address ranges are as follows.
AE-200: Between [192.168.1.1] and [192.168.1.40]
AE-50/EW-50: Between [192.168.1.211] and [192.168.1.249]

Encrypting the communication data and logging in to the Web browser
(HTTPS connection)
AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 can encrypt communication data using HTTPS (SSL).
When connecting the AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 to the LAN that is accessible to the general public, it is
recommended that the following settings be made so that the units are monitored and controlled on the
encrypted web page.
Note: Depending on the operating system or the Java version, HTTPS encrypted communication may not be enabled
properly. If this happens, use an HTTP connection as explained in the previous page.
(1) Prefix the web address with [https], enter the rest of the address, and
press the [Enter] key.
https://[IP Address of each AE-200/AE-50/EW-50]/en/maintenance.html
Note: If the IP address of the AE-200/AE-50/EW-50 is [192.168.1.1], the web page
address is [https://192.168.1.1/en/maintenance.html].
The encrypted data communication will begin, and the Login screen
will appear.
If a security certificate error page appears instead of the Login
screen, go to step (2) below.
(2) If the security certificate is invalid, a security certificate error page (as
shown at right) will appear.
Click [Continue to this website (not recommended)].
(3) If the connection is successfully made, the Login screen will appear.
Note: Although the address bar will turn red and a message “Certificate
