5 Using the Vertex interface
The radar sensor has a built in web interface (known as Vertex) which provides default user
level access to the radar. Vertex allows you to view various operational data (e.g. IP address,
serial number, System Uptime and Radar health, etc.) as soon as it opens, however, to make
any changes you will need to Login.
When first connecting, ensure there is nothing else on the network that is using the same IP
address. If necessary, connect a computer directly to the Ethernet port of the radar unit and
access Vertex directly in order to change the IP address.
5.1 To Access the Vertex Interface
1. On the computer that is linked to the sensor, open a suitable web browser: Internet
Explorer (v10 or above) or Chrome.
2. Type in the address of the sensor in the format http://192.168.0.1 and press return.
This will redirect you to a secure http (https) connection. Accept any security
warnings – these are raised because the browser does not recognise the certificate
from the radar. To avoid seeing this warning every time you connect, save the IP
address of the radar in the secure/trusted sites zone of your browser (although the
certificate is regenerated every time the radar reboots). You should now see the
Vertex interface opening page:
