2 Setting the Operating Environment

PC settings and web browser settings required for using a web browser to monitor air conditioner units and

perform operations are explained in the following pages.

2-1 Setting the PC IP Address

Set an IP address on the PC that enables GB-24A to connect via a web browser.

For instance, if the GB-24A IP address is [192.168.1.1], the PC IP address will need to belong to the same

system [192.168.1.101].

If the GB-24A is connected to an existing LAN, ask the LAN administrator to decide what PC IP address to use.

Note: When using a GB-24A dedicated LAN, it is recommended that the GB-24A main unit be given an IP address

within the range [192.168.1.1] – [192.168.1.40] and the PCs connected to the GB-24A be given an IP address

within the range [192.168.1.101] – [192.168.1.150]

(1) Click on [Control Panel] under [Start] to open the Control Panel.

(2) In the Control Panel window, double click [Network and Dial-up

Connections] and the Network and Dial-up Connections window will

open. Double click on [Local Area Setting] and the [Local Area

Connection Status] dialog will open. Click [Properties].

(3) In the [Local Area Connection Properties] dialog, click [Internet

Protocol] to select it and click the [Properties] button.

“192.168.1.101”) that you want to set in the IP address field.

You normally set [255.255.255.0] as the subnet mask.

Note: Ask your LAN administrator to provide the IP addresses and subnet mask.

(5) Click the [OK] button to close this dialog, and then close the other open

dialogs to complete the network setting.

proxy server by connecting to an existing LAN such as a LAN within your company, use the procedure given

below to set the web browser environment settings.

By performing these settings, your PC will connect to a proxy server only when connecting to the Internet.

Exceptions field of the Proxy Setting dialog and click the [OK] button to

close the dialog and then close the other open dialogs to complete the

setting.

Note: If connecting to more than one GB-24A, you can specify multiple IP addresses

like [192.168.1.1; 192.168.1.2], however, it is also possible to use the asterisk

the plus next to [Java Plug-in] to expand the list, and uncheck the

checkbox next to [Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in

(requires browser restart.)].

3 Performing Operations

Text below explains how to connect to the GB-24A and how to perform various settings.

Note: If the GB-24A is restarted due to a power interruption etc., wait until the screen on the GB-24A main unit displays the normal

operation screen (it takes several minutes before the normal operation screen is displayed) before using a web browser to

access the GB-24A. If access is attempted while the GB-24A is still starting up, the most recent data might not be displayed

or communication errors could occur.

Note: Default IP address of GB-24A is “192.168.1.1”. (Factory setting)

3-1 Entering the User Name and the Password, and Connecting to

the GB-24A

(3) Enter the user name and the password in the login screen, and click the [Login] button. A screen will

appear in which various setting are made. Procedures for making proper settings on each screen will be

explained in the following pages.

The table below shows the default user names and passwords for maintenance users and managers, as

Note: The user name and the manager’s password are the same as those of the manager of the Web for monitoring/operation.

Note: Maintenance users can make available to the administrator only the information necessary for normal operation (group

name setting etc.)

Note: It is recommended to change the user name and password, so users other than the manager are not permitted to change

the settings.

(1) Enter the web page address in the address field of the web

browser as follows:

http:// [IP address of the GB-24A]/g-50/ administrator.html

Press the [Enter] key on the keyboard. A screen appears for login.

Note: For example, type “http://192.168.1.1/g-50/administrator.html” if the

GB-24A IP address is [192.168.1.1].
