Logging In

To operate the KN1000A from a web browser, begin by logging in:

1. Open your browser and specify the IP address of the KN1000A you want to access in the browser's URL location bar.
   Note: For security purposes, a login string may have been set by the administrator. If so, you must include a forward slash and the login string along with the IP address when you log in. For example: 192.168.0.100/KN1000A.
   If you don't know the IP address and login string, ask your Administrator. The default IP address is 192.168.0.60
2. If a Security Alert dialog box appears. Accept the certificate – it can be trusted. If a second certificate appears, accept it as well. The KN1000A login page appears.
3. Provide a valid Username and Password (set by the KN1000A administrator), then click Login to continue. Note:
   1. If you are the administrator, and are logging in for the first time, use the default Username: administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes, we strongly recommend you remove these and give yourself a unique Username and Password.
   2. If you supplied an invalid login, the authentication routine will return this message: Invalid Username or Password. Please try again. If you see this message, log in again being careful with the Username and Password.
      After you have successfully logged in, the KN1000A Main Screen appears.
