6.4 WebGUI Control Device Discovery Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorised dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it. Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network and execute the “Device Discovery” software. Click on “Find Devices on Internet” and a list of devices connected to the local network will show up indicating their current IP address. Note: This unit defaults to DHCP mode.
By clicking on one of the listed devices you will be presented with the network details of that particular device.
1) IP Mode: If you choose, you can alter the static IP network settings for the device, or switch the unit into DHCP mode to automatically obtain proper network settings from a local DHCP server. To switch to DHCP mode, please select DHCP from the IP mode drop-down, then click “Save” followed by “Reboot”.
2) WebGUI Hotkey: Once you are satisfied with the network settings, you may use them to connect via Telnet or WebGUI. The network information window provides a convenient link to launch the WebGUI directly.

WebGUI Overview After connecting to the WebGUI’s address in a web browser, the system monitor page will appear. This page contains a set of useful information that can be accessed without the need to log in.
Click the login icon ( ) in the upper right corner to log in, enter the appropriate user name and password then click “Continue” to log in. Note: The default user name and password is “admin”.
After logging in, the upper right corner will now display 5 navigation icons. Clicking on the “System Settings” icon ( ) will take you to the System Settings page for configuration options including IP configuration, device name, and firmware update functionality. Clicking on the “User Management” icon ( ) will take you to the User Management page, provides access to user management controls for the unit. Clicking on the “Language” icon ( ) can change the interface language to user’s preference, current only support Traditional Chinses and English. Clicking on the “System Information” icon ( ) will take you to the System Information page, providing information of technical support for the unit. Clicking on the red “Logout” icon ( ) will log the currently connected user out of the WebGUI and return to home page. Clicking on the “Home” icon ( ) or the unit’s logo at the top of the page will return to home page.
6

The left side of the browser will display a compressed version of the above menu tabs where all primary functions of the unit are controllable via the built in WebGUI. The individual functions will be introduced in the following sections. 6.4.1 Console Pages The Console page contains a configuration page for managing the unit’s peripheral settings such as serial.
6.4.1.1 IP to Serial Page This page provides a way to send and receive RS-232/422/485 commands as well as the configuration of serial settings.
7

1) COM: Enter the command to be sent to the specified serial port and press “Send”. Clicking on “ASC” or “Hex” button will define the command type between plain ASCII or hex. Clicking on the “Edit” icon ( ) opens up the COM Edit window. The console bypass port number is also displayed on the top right corner. Serial: Any responses the unit received will be displayed in the “Serial” field. Click on the trash icon ( ) will remove the command received log. TCP Server: All the commands that sent from this browser will be displayed in the “TCP Server” field. Click on the trash icon ( ) will remove the command transmitted log.
