word protected application is accessible by any authorized admin user, located anywhere.

make a temporary connection, see below.
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the Central Power Hub. The default IP address setting is:

3 If requested, enter your
username and password
to log on.
Note: The default username
and password are ‘admin’

4.1.2 To temporarily connect a computer to the network port

a standard patch cable (cross-over or straight connections are both support-
ed) to link the Ethernet 10/100 network port (
) on the front panel of the
main chassis to your computer.
Note: The patch cable used to link with the Central Power Hub must be
screened to the S/FTP level.
