Connection to the web interface
To connect to the web interface do as follows:

that the system is ready to be configured.
• Power LED: Green
• Logon LED: Off
• Fail/Pass LED: Flashing green during power-on self test, after that steady green.
2. Connect a PC to the LAN1 connector (Service port, standard, leftmost). Use a shielded
LAN cable. You can configure the network according to your requirements. See
on page 4-6 for more information.
3. Open your Internet browser and enter the IP address of the EXPLORER 5075GX. The
default IP address is http://192.168.0.1
(shown in the display in the menu

Important
The EXPLORER 5075GX is not designed to be connected directly to the
Internet. It must be located behind a dedicated network security device such
as a firewall.
If any ports of the EXPLORER 5075GX are exposed to the Internet you must
change the default passwords as anyone with access and malicious intent can
render the EXPLORER 5075GX inoperable.
