4: Remote Connectivity
4.0 Remote Connectivity Introduction
The WriteProtect comes with a gigabit network connection. Connecting the WriteProtect to a
network allows remote access from any computer within the same network using a supported
Internet browser (Chrome or Firefox). A network connection with Internet access also allows the
WriteProtect software to be updated using the
FROM NETWORK
option.
The WriteProtect is configured for DHCP.
4.1 Connecting to the Web Interface
Using a supported web browser, go to the WriteProtect’s hostname. The hostname will be:
http://wp-XXXXXX
where XXXXXX is the 6 digit serial number of the WriteProtect. The serial
number can be found on a sticker underneath the WriteProtect. The WriteProtect’s web
interface will appear on the browser screen.
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are the recommended browsers. Other browsers may not
display the Graphical User Interface correctly.
On some browsers or Operating Systems, the WriteProtect will need to be
accessed by browsing to
http://wp-XXXXXX.local/
.
4.2 Usage
The web interface can be used for built-in file browsing capabilities, configuration, or software
updates for the WriteProtect. The built-in file browser can recognize many different file systems
and can be a useful tool when the computer being used does not have the ability to see the
connect drive’s file system or contents. See
Section 5.0 Web Interface Introduction
for details
on the web interface.
