CONFIGURING THE DEVICE

Configuring the Device
There are two tools for configuring the device:
■
Local Device Web Portal – Use to configure the device for network communication and device specific
firmware updates. It also provides a logging interface and basic network utilities to assist in troubleshooting.
■ etherFAX Client Portal – Use for DID provisioning and for configuring multiple devices.

Managing the Device via Local Device Web Portal

The etherFAX A2E has a local device portal that you can access via a standard HTTP connection to the device's IP
address on port 80. To access this portal:
1. Open a web browser and go to the device's IP address (for example, http://10.0.0.100). If you do not
know the device's IP address or a DHCP address was not assigned, refer to Getting Started for help with
network settings.
2. Log in using the default credentials: Username: admin Password: password
Note: For security, update your password. To do this, click System Administrator on the top right of the
portal and select Change Password.

System Settings

Use System Settings to update the device configuration locally.
To change system settings, go to Settings > System. After changing settings, click Save and then select Test
Connection to validate the changes.
