Basic Navigation
To open the web console, enter your device server’s IP address in the website address line. If you
are configuring the NPort for the first time, you will use the default IP address, 192.168.127.254.
If prompted, enter the console password. You will only be prompted for a password if you have
enabled password protection on the device server. The password will be transmitted with MD5
encryption over the Ethernet.
The web console will appear as shown below.
The left panel is the navigation panel, where you select the parameters that you wish to see or
modify. Certain folders can be expanded by clicking the adjacent “+” symbol.
The right panel is the main window, where parameters are displayed and modified. For example, if
you click Basic Settings in the navigation panel, the main window will show a page of basic
settings that you can configure.
After you have made changes on a page, you must click the Submit button in the main window
before jumping to another page. Your changes will be lost if you do not click Submit.
After you have finished modifying the desired pages, you must save and restart the device server
for the new settings to take effect. You may complete this in one step by clicking Save/Restart
after you submit a change. Changes will not take effect until they are saved and the NPort is
restarted. If you restart the NPort without saving your configuration, all configuration changes will
be lost.
