Testing the Connection

The connection between the APWeb board and the LAN should be tested to complete the setup.
The instructions below open the APWeb site to the user's Home page, which has limited access to
the APWeb server. If you need full access to configuration and security settings, see the
Instruction Manual – APWeb Interface.
To test the connection:
1.
Launch a browser on your computer.
2. Type http://192.168.0.251 (default address) in the address bar and press Enter.
The Enter Network Password dialog box opens.
If the dialog box does not open, see the Connection Troubleshooting section below and contact your
network administrator.
3.
Enter the case-sensitive default user name none and password none.
4.
Click OK.
APWeb opens.
5. For setup and operation details for the APWeb server, see the Instruction Manual – APWeb

Check all power, signal, and link connections; check to be sure the entire system is powered.
Check the Power LED on the APWeb board (see page 110) to be sure it is illuminated.
Check the cable type (see cable requirements on page 113). We recommend connecting the
APWeb board directly to a PC for testing purposes.
Ping the system. At the DOS prompt enter: ping 192.168.0.251
Verify that the APWeb's IP address is included in the "Bypass Proxy Server" list in the
Internet Options for the attached PC.
If not, add the address in the Exceptions field in the Proxy Setting dialog box.
Try connecting to the APWeb server again.
If the problem persists, contact technical support (see page 40).
