Network Setting by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
Connecting the monitor to a network allows for monitor control from a computer via the network.
To perform the monitor control from a web browser, you must have an exclusive application installed on your computer.
The IP address and subnet mask of the monitor can be set on the Network Setting screen of the web browser by using an
HTTP server function. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0” or a higher version for the web browser.
(This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will
vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server function by starting the Web browser on the computer via the network connected to the
monitor and entering the following URL.
Network Setting
http:///index.html
TIP:The default IP address is “192.168.0.10”.
NOTE:If the MONITOR NETWORK SETTINGS screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to
refresh your web browser (or clear the cache).
The display or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of
your network.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator.
The LCD monitor may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a
moment and repeat.
If you still can’t get a response, turn off and back on the monitor.

Preparation Before Use
Connect the monitor to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations.
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting
method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be
displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in
operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavailable.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered into the URL column when operation of the monitor is
via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the monitor has
been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of
the monitor has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the monitor has been set to “pd.nec.co.jp”, access is gained to the network setting by
specifying 
http://pd.nec.co.jp/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the monitor is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the mail alert settings by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Network Settings
http:// /index.html
Enabling this option automatically assigns an IP address to the monitor from your DHCP server.
Disabling this option allows you to register the IP address or subnet mask number obtained from
your network administrator.
NOTE: The IP address of the monitor is required to change the network setting.
The IP address will not be displayed on the Monitor’s menu.
Consult your network administrator for the IP address when [ENABLE] is selected for
[DHCP].
Set your IP address of the network connected to the monitor when [DISABLE] is selected for
[DHCP].
Set your subnet mask number of the network connected to the monitor when [DISABLE] is selected
for [DHCP].
Set your default gateway of the network connected to the monitor when [DISABLE] is selected for
[DHCP].
Set your primary DNS settings of the network connected to the monitor.
Set your secondary DNS settings of the network connected to the monitor.
Reflect your settings.
NOTE: Close the browser after clicking [UPDATE].
The monitor will automatically update your settings. DHCP

EnglishReduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight
limitations.
Color Control Systems: Allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customize the color accuracy of your monitor to
a variety of standards.
OmniColor: Combines Six-axis color control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis color control permits color adjustments via six
axes (R, G, B, C, M and Y) rather than through the three axes (R, G and B) previously available. The sRGB standard provides
the monitor with a uniform color profile. This assures that the colors displayed on the monitor are exactly the same as on the
color printout (with sRGB supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colors on your screen
and customise the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.
sRGB Color Control: A new optimized color management standard which allows for color matching on computer displays
and other peripherals. The sRGB standard, which is based on a calibrated color space, allows for optimal color representation
and backward compatibility with other common color standards.
OSD (On-Screen-Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to
use on-screen menus.
Plug and Play: The Microsoft
® solution with the Windows® operating system facilitates setup and installation by allowing the
monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer, automatically
optimizing display performance.
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the monitor to shift to a
lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions
and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.
FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
VESA Standard (FDMIv1) Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their LCD monitor to any VESA standard (FDMIv1)
third party mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant
device. NEC recommends using mounting interface that comply with TÜV-GS and/or UL1678 standard in North America.
DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between
computers and displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided for a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based
digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital
connectors such as DFP and P&D. The DVI interface of this display supports HDCP.
TILE MATRIX, TILE COMP: Shows one image over multiple screens with accuracy while compensating for bezel width.
ZOOM: Expands image size for horizontal and vertical direction.
RS-232C daisy chain: You can control the multiple monitors by controller or wireless remote controller.
Self-diagnosis: If an internal error should occur, a failure state will be indicated.
Long cable capability: Automatic long cable compensation prevents image quality degradation (dull signals) caused by long
cable lengths.

CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not
permanent, but constant images being displayed for a
long period of time should be avoided. To alleviate image
persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the
previous image was displayed. For example, if an image
was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image
remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to
erase the image.
