The i-Sense Management Console
Connect to the i-Sense by typing http://192.168.1.200 (replace with the actual
IP address) into the Web browser address bar. The i-Sense management console
will prompt for a valid username and password. The factory-default user
credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: password
Change the username and password from the default values during initial setup.
Click on the “Security” menu item to change the default values.
If the username or password is lost or the i-Sense is not able to communicate with
the i-Grid website, you will need to reset the user credentials and networking
options back to their default values using the push-buttons. See
Reset to Factory Defaults on page 10
for more details.
Management: Select Communications Method - Ethernet or Telephone Modem
To send data to the i-Grid servers over Ethernet, select “Ethernet” in the drop-
down list on the Ethernet Settings page.
To send data to the i-Grid servers via the modem, select “Modem” in the drop-
down list on the Modem Settings page. See

voltage data will be uploaded and preserved. To test the connection, select “Test i-
grid Communication” on system status page. Any connection errors will be
displayed on the page.
