7 Web-based Interface and

Conﬁguration

Every FM unit can be conﬁgured and managed using a Web-based Graph-

ical User Interface (GUI). By default, each FM unit is conﬁgured in Bridge

Mode with the Bridge IP address 192.168.0.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0.

To change the settings on the units, you need to log-in to the Web-based

interface.

port, and an Ethernet cable.
