CONFIGURATION
Configuration can be done either via the built-in website or via TCP/IP connection.
In the latter case the configuration interface the third party 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 server
After the modules are found you can click on one of them to open its website in a
browser.
You can also access the module’s internal website from an Internet browser using
the host name (FNIP8x16A by default) or the IP address.
By default, each module obtains an IP address from a DHCP server automatically.
If there’s no DHCP server available on the network, 192.168.1.25 will be assigned
to the module. The same IP address will be used when connecting the module
directly to your computer with an Ethernet cross cable.
Authentication
Once connected to the module’s website, you will be asked to identify yourself, as
seen in figure 5.
