If applicable, configure the browser for direct HTTP requests to the 
frame rather than addressing a Proxy Web Server.  The Modular Frame

To address an 8900TFN frame from an internet browser, enter the frame’s 
default URL into the URL line of the browser (“Location” in Netscape Nav-
igator, “Address” in Internet Explorer). The URL will be the IP Address 
given to the frame during initial setup (see 

), or a Domain name that has been mapped to the IP Address in 

your Domain Name Server tables. The URL should look like this:

http://{Frame’s IP Address}/

Example: 

http://127.123.234.2/

Or:

http://{Frame’s Domain Name}/

Example:

http://frame1.xyz.com/

The correctly entered URL will call up the 8900 frame’s default first page—
Frame Status.

Each 8900TFN frame has a unique ethernet physical level MAC address 
that is stored in the frame ID memory chip (see 

). If this 

memory is missing, the 8900NET module will substitute a default MAC 
address: 08-00-11-09-CD-AB. If more than one 8900 frame in your network 
is assigned the default MAC address, network conflicts will occur. To verify 
the frame has a unique MAC address refer to
