2 Setting the Operating Environment
Given below is an explana tion of the PC settings and web browser settings that are requir ed for using a web
browser to monitor air conditioner units and perform operations.
2-1 Setting the PC IP Address
You need to set an IP addr ess on the PC that will enable you to connect to t he G-50A using a web browser.
For instance, if the G- 50A IP address is [192.168.1.1], the P C IP address will need to belong to the s ame
system (for example [192.168.1.101]).
If the G-50A is connected to an existing LAN, ask the LAN administrator to decide what PC IP address to use.
Note: When using a G-50A dedicated LAN, we recommend the G-50A main unit be given an IP address within the
range [192.168.1.1] — [192.168.1.40] and the PCs that will be connected to the G-50A 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

“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 admini stra tor to provide the IP addresses and subnet
mask.
(5) Click the [OK] button to close th is dialog, and then clos e the other
open dialogs to complete the network setting.

3 Performing Operations
Given below is an ex planation of ho w to connect to the G -50A and how to m onitor and adjust the operation
condition of air conditioners. Follow the directions given here when performing operations.
Note: If the G-50A is restarted due to circumstances like a power interruption, wait until the screen on the G-50A main unit
displays the normal operation screen (it takes several minutes before the normal operati on screen is displayed) before
using a web browser to access the G-50A. If access is attempted while the G-50A is still starting up, the most recent data
might not be displayed or communication errors could occur.
Note: Default IP address of G-50A (GB-50A) is "192.168.1.1". (Factory setting)
