To log in to the WBM of the device, proceed as follows:

• Start a web browser on the configuration computer.
• Enter the IP address of the connected network interface of the device into the address
line of the web browser (e.g. https ://192.168.1.1).
⇒ Since Phoenix Contact supplied the device with a self-signed security certificate
that is unfamiliar to your browser, a certificate warning appears.

• Confirm that you want to proceed in spite of the warning, by adding an exception to
open the website that is deemed “ insecure ”.
• For example, in Firefox, click on:
Advanced >> Add Exception... >> Confirm Security Exception
• Proceed in the same way in other browsers.
⇒ The login page of the web-based management opens.
