1 Introduction

Special features of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation’s “Centralized Controller AG-150A,” “Centralized Controller GB-50ADA-A,” and “Centralized Controller GB-50ADA-J” are that a PC connected to a LAN can be used to monitor the operation condition of air conditioners and perform air con ditioner operations. The document explains the procedures to monitor the status of and to operate the centralized controller on the Web browser are described. Hereinafter, Centralized controller AG-150A, GB-50ADA-A, and GB-50ADA-J, unless otherwise specified, will be called "AG-150A".

Note: License of "Web Monitor" or "Basic License Pack" is necessary to use the web browser (to operate or monitor the air

conditioners). Some licenses are necessary depending on the functions to be used. Register the license key on the LCD screen or on the registration screen.

Note: A one-day license key can be registered on the LCD screen that allows the user to use the "Web Monitor" only on the day of

the registration (not applicable to GB-50ADA-A and GB-50ADA-J). Use this license key to use the initial setting browser, or

in any other situations when a temporary license key "Web Monitor" is necessary. Note: Use a security device such as a VPN router when connecting the AG-150A to the Internet to prevent unauthorized access. Note: "Booster unit" and "Water HEX unit" are referred to as "Air to water". Note: GB-50ADA-A and GB-50ADA-J cannot be connected to the Expansion Controller (PAC-YG50ECA). Settings or displays of

the Expansion Controller cannot be made on the GB-50ADA-A and GB-50ADA-J.

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 AG-150A to connect via a web browser. For instance, if the AG-150A 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 AG-150A is connected to an existing LAN, ask the LAN administrator to decide what PC IP address to use.

Note: When using a AG-150A dedicated LAN, it is recommended that the AG-150A 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 AG-150A 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.

(4) In the [Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties] dialog, click [Use the

following IP address] and enter the IP address (for example, “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.

2-2 Setting the Web Browser

Use a security device such as a VPN router when connecting the AG-150A to the Intern et to prev ent unauthorized access.

If no security devices are installed, the operation settings may be changed by an unauthorized person without the knowledge of the user.

Necessary web browser settings must be performed to enable the web browser to connect to the AG-150A.

Note: The settings and screen images used as examples in this manual are based on Internet Explorer 6.0.
