6-0 Configuring the Controller
Any of the following methods can be used to connect to the controller's interface in order to configure it:
•
Using the controller's factory-default Hostname in the Web browser
•
Using the controller's IP address in the Web browser
6-1 Using the Factory-default
Hostname in a Web Browser
Controllers have a factory-default hostname that you can use instead of an
IP address to connect to it. The hostname can be used in a Web browser's
address bar. When installing the latest version of the configuration web
interface Program and your PC does not have the Bonjour service installed,
a link to install the Bonjour service is provided. The Bonjour service must
be installed on your PC to allow your PC to discover controllers by their
hostname.
If your PC is unable to resolve the controller's hostname, you must connect
your PC to the controller through Ethernet or Wi-Fi so that your PC only
sees the controller network. For example, in this case, your PC must be
disconnected from all other networks such as a corporate network or the
Internet. If necessary, temporarily disconnect your PC's network cable from
its Ethernet port.
The controller's factory-default hostname is eclypse-xxxxxx.local where
xxxxxx is the last 6 characters of the MAC address printed on a sticker
located on the side of the controller. See above.
For example, the sticker on the side of a controller shows that its MAC
address is 76:a5:04:cd:4a:d1. Connect to the controller's Web interface as
follows:
1.
Open your Web browser.
2.
In the Web browser's address bar, type https://eclypse-cd4ad1.
local and click go.
3.
Login to the controller. Then set the controller's configuration
parameters in the controller's configuration Web interface. See
Connecting to the Controller's Configuration Web Interface.
6-2 Using the Controller's IP Address
in a Web Browser
Connect to a controller through its IP address as follows:
For a Wi-Fi Network Connection:
1.
Open your Web browser.
2.
In the Web browser's address bar, type 192.168.0.1 (the
controller's factory-default wireless hotspot IP address) and click
go.
3.
Login to the controller. Then set the controller's configuration
parameters in the controller's configuration Web interface. See
Connecting to the Controller's Configuration Web Interface.

6-2 Using the Controller's IP Address
in a Web Browser - cont'd
For an Ethernet Network Connection: You must know the controller's current
IP address (from the DHCP server for example).
4.
Open your Web browser.
5.
In the Web browser's address bar, enter the controller's IP
address and click go.
6.
Login to the controller. Then set the controller's configuration
parameters in the controller's configuration Web interface. See
Connecting to the Controller's Configuration Web Interface.
6-3 Connecting to the Controller's
Configuration Web Interface
At the first connection to an ECLYPSE Controller you will be forced to change
the password to a strong password for the admin account to protect access
to the controller.
In Network Settings, configure the controller's network parameters so that
they are compatible with your network. It is important to create new user
accounts with strong passwords to protect the controller from unauthorized
access. Remove the factory default admin account as this is a commonly
known security breech (only the password for this user account needs to be
compromized.)
