Using the Web Interface
The ESP-2 MI web interface can be accessed using any standard web browser with the IP
address of the unit as the URL. For example, if an ESP-2 MI has an IP address of 192.168.0.5,
entering the URL http://192.168.0.5 will connect to the web interface.
If the ESP-2 MI does not have an IP address (because it has not yet been configured or the unit
has been reinitialized), you may access the unit by using the URL http://192.1.1.1.
The predefined IP address (192.1.1.1) is fixed, and unexpected errors may occur if another
device has the same IP address or if there is more than one uninitialized ESP-2 MI on the
network. After the unit's web interface is accessed, you must configure an IP address before
the unit becomes operational. After the IP address is configured, the unit will no longer be
accessible with the predefined IP address.
The ESP-2 MI web interface requires an administration password for access. When the unit
ships (or after it is reinitialized), there is no configured password. When you access the unit,
you are prompted for a username and password. The username field is ignored. If a password
has not yet been set, any password will be accepted. Once you enter the web interface, you will
be required to configure a password before you can perform any other operations. For more
information, see Changing the Password.
Some browsers have a feature to remember the password. If this is enabled, you won't need to
enter the password at the username/password prompt in future sessions.
About the Web Interface Window
When you access the web interface, the left area of the window contains the Main Menu. Clicking
on a Main Menu item brings up the corresponding information in the right area of the window.
When you alter certain values, the EEPROM configuration is modified, but the change does not
take effect until the next reboot of the ESP-2 MI. In these cases, a Reboot button will appear in
the window. You may reboot the unit at that time, or you may wait and reboot later by selecting
Reboot from the Main Menu or by pressing the RESET button on the front panel.
