Step 4: Confirm and Restart

Click Finish to save current settings and restart the system.

A confirmation dialog box appears. Click OK to continue.

A Confirm and Restart message appears during the 
restarting process. Do not interrupt the system until the 
Administrator Login Page appears.

The system restart process is completed when the following 
Administrator Login Page appears.

Verify Setup with User Login

Follow the steps below to verify the basic configuration completed 
through the Setup Wizard.

1.

Connect a laptop PC to any LAN Port on the EWS101. The PC 
will obtain an IP address automatically from the EWS101.

2.

Launch a web browser and enter any HTTP website URL. The 
default User Login Page will appear.

3.

Enter the Username and Password of the local user account 
previously created through the Setup Wizard (that is, Username: 
testuser and Password: testuser), and then Click Login.

The Login Success Page appears after the user is successfully 
authenticated by the system.

The EWS101 is now up and running with a basic configuration.

Note: 

The system will try to reach a DNS server at this stage. 

Therefore, it may take a longer time if the configured DNS 
cannot be found.

Note: 

The

 

EWS101 supports multiple authentication server 

options, including the built-in local user database and external 
authentication servers.

Note: 

The complete user name format is userid@postfix, 

where the “postfix” string stands for the back-end 
authentication server. Therefore, the match-up between the 
user name and the back-end authentication server is based on 
the “postfix” string in the complete user name.

Note: 

Normally, users have to enter the complete user name 

(for example, testuser@local) during login. However, the postfix 
can be omitted when the postfix matches the default 
authentication server option. For example, when the LOCAL 
database is enabled as the default authentication option, you 
can simply enter “testuser” as the user name to log in.
