St LED 

This  status  LED  indicates  that  the  bootloader  of  the  module  is  active.  This  should  only 
happen during firmware update. 

Please never disconnect power from the module while this LED is on! 
If this LED stays on after the firmware update, please contact your distributor! 

 
 
 

CONFIGURATION 

 
Configuration  can  be  done  either  via  the  built-in  website  or  via  TCP/IP  connection.  In  the 
latter case the configuration interface the controller provides is used. 

 

Configuration via the web interface 

 
Use  the  FNIP  Network  Discovery  Utility  software  to  find  all  FutureNow  IP  devices  on  your 
network. 
 

Connecting to the module’s web site 

After  the  scan  is  over  you  can  click  on  one  of  the  modules  found  to  open  its  website  in  a 
browser. 
You  can  also  access  the  module’s  internal  web  pages  from  an  Internet  browser  by  typing 

FNIP4xSH

  (default  hostname)  or  whatever  the  hostname  has  been  changed  to  or  the  IP 

address in the URL window. 
 
Each module automatically obtains an IP address from a DHCP server by default. In the lack 
of  DHCP  server  the  default  IP  address  of  192.168.1.25  will  be  assigned.  The  same  IP 
address will be assigned when connecting the module directly to your computer (not running 
a DHCP server) with an Ethernet cross cable. 

 
Authentication 

Once  you  are  connected  to  the  module’s  web  site  you  will be  asked  to  identify  yourself,  as 
seen in figure 5.
