Accessing the ePAD

Enter the ePAD default IP Address followed by /admin: For example 192.168.0.251/admin. The Administrator Log 

On screen displays. On the first access to ePAD programming, enter the default Administrator Name and Password: 

ADMIN 

and 

ADMIN

.

Note: 

Be sure that only one administrator is logged on to the ePAD at a time. If two administrators are logged on to 

the ePAD at the same time, conflicts may occur.
After successfully logging on to the ePAD as an administrator, the ePAD Programmer Menu displays. The four 

underlined hyperlinks to the options pages are available for you to use to easily program the ePAD. Click on the 

option to open that page. See Figure 5.
After you complete programming in any of the four Options pages, click 

Submit 

to enter your changes and return to 

the ePAD Programmer Menu. Click 

Reset 

to revert the settings. You may also use the browser Back Arrow to return to 

previous pages.

ePAD System Options Page

This is where you program most ePAD addresses 

discussed in the previous sections under System Options. 

You may also program commercial style hyperlinks in 

System Options. See Figure 6.

Note:

 Changing the IP Address, Gateway Address, HTTP 

Port, or Subnet Mask requires you to reconnect to the 

ePAD using the new values. 

Use caution when changing 

any of these fields. 

After you click 

Submit

, a pop-up 

window appears allowing you to cancel your changes. 

Click 

OK 

only if you are sure you want the changes to be 

saved.
Click 

Cancel 

if you would not like those changes to be 

saved. This allows you to exit if you did not want to 

change such items as the IP Address, Gateway Address, 

HTTP Port, and Subnet Mask.
All addresses, such as the Local IP and Gateway, must follow the conventions for IP Addresses: 12 characters with a 

period after every third character: 192.168.000.251 is the proper format for an address.

Local IP Address 

Enter the ePAD IP address using digits 0 through 9. The default IP Address is 

192.168.000.251

.

Gateway Address

Enter the local gateway address assigned to the ePAD. The default Gateway IP Address is 

192.168.000.125

.

Subnet Mask

Enter the ePAD Subnet Mask using digits 0 through 9. The default Subnet Mask is 

255.255.255.000

.

HTTP Port

Enter the HTTP Port assigned to the ePAD: default is 

80

. The recommended range is 2000 through 65535.

Note:

 If an HTTP Port other than 80 is entered, the HTTP port number must follow the IP Address when entered 

in the address field of the browser. For example, if the HTTP Port is 2005 and the IP Address is 192.168.000.251, 

you would enter http://192.168.000.251:2005. If you are using the Name Registry DNS operation and a domain 

name for the ePAD (such as 

bill.virtualkeypad.com)

, you still need to enter the port number at the end of the 

domain name: bill.virtualkeypad.com:2005. See the 

ePAD Name Registry Options Page

 section.

Keypad Address

Enter the keypad address, 1 to 16, the ePAD is to occupy on the DMP panel keypad bus. The ePAD default 

address is 

4

.

Note: 

If the panel requires Device Setup programming, activate the corresponding device number in Device 

Setup. For example, if 5 is entered for the Keypad Address, enter 5 for Device Type and select Standard for 

Device Type in Device Setup of panel programming. See the Programming Guide for the DMP panel or the 

installing dealer.
