The following steps are to add HTML5 pages to a NI series DVX Switcher:
OPTION 1
This process runs a script to copy over the new HTML5 web pages.
- Download the dvx_New_Webpages.zip file from this KB entry.
- Extract the .zip file into the root directory. In MOST cases this is C:\.
- Open up the Windows Command Prompt (start, type: cmd).
- At the prompt change the directory location to the extracted file. For example, if the folder is saved in the root directory this will be cd \dvx_New_Webpages.
- At the prompt type the following: ftp -s:ftpscript.txt <NI controller's IP address>. Example: ftp -s:ftpscript.txt 192.168.1.10
- Once the script has completed running, go to the controller's webpage and click on the link dvx_New_Webpages".
Note: If the administrator login for the DVX is not the default (administrator/password), you will need to change it to the default or edit the ftpscript.txt file with the correct login info.
OPTION 2 (recommended)
This process will use FTP to copy over the HTML web pages.
- Download the dvx_New_Webpages.zip file from this KB entry.
- Extract the .zip file. A folder named dvx_New_Webpages will be created.
- Open another instance of Windows File Explorer (Alternatively you may use an FTP client such as FileZilla).
- In the address bar enter: FTP://<NI controller's IP address>.
- A login prompt may appear. (Default login: administrator | password)
- File Explorer may pop up a new window behind the first. Bring this new window to the front to see the current file system on the controller.
- Drag or copy/paste the previous extracted folder dvx_New_Webpages to the FTP window
- Once all files are copied, go to the controller's webpage and click on the link dvx_New_Webpages
Please note the HTML5 pages take a considerable amount of time to load and sync up, so please be patient.
