Web Interface Configuration
Step Action
1 Find and take note of the controller’s Working IP (WIP) on the front panel display by going to
MenuStatusNetwork Settings Port 1
Note: If the Port is not configured as a Server it will not have the correct IP address. To use the
Ethernet port locally as a Craft port it needs to be configured as a DHCP Server. DHCP Server
operation can be validated at MenuStatusNetwork Settings. Scroll down to view the port’s
present configuration.
If it is not in DHCP Server mode, make sure the Craft port is not plugged into a LAN connection
and re-configure the DHCP setting from the front panel to be Server. This is parameter is found in
MenuConfigurationCommunication PortsNetwork SettingsDHCP.
Note: when performing this operation from the front panel, the controller must be rebooted by
removing and reapplying power to the unit so that it can accept the new Ethernet port
configuration. This can be done by removing and re-inserting the slot controller or by removing
and reattaching the power connection at J9 on the door-mounted controller. The rebooting
process takes approximately two minutes. Validate the change to server mode at
MenuStatusNetwork Settings.
2 Attach the LAN cable between the RJ45 (P2) on the main board to the appropriate Ethernet port
on the Craft PC.
3 Open the PC’s browser and enter the controller’s WIP as the destination address. This address is
http://192.168.2.1 by default . The controller has HTTP capabilities and will begin to return
appropriate system representative web pages.
4 Using a standard browser, a login page similar to that depicted below will be served up by the
controller. There are three levels of access through the port; Read-Only, Read/Write, and
Read/Write with password management privileges. Passwords defaults for the Craft port as well
as other remote access means default as follows:
Access Default Password
User (Read-Only) lineage
Super-User (Read/Write) super-user
Administrator (Read/Write/Password Administration) administrator
Security Levels/Passwords
The controller supports three levels of access: (User, Super-User, and Administrator). Password
defaults can be changed only by a user of administrator privileges.
User security level:
• Can view almost every parameter in the system
• Can change only a few parameters considered to be of standard maintenance practices
• Default password: lineage
