To log in:
1. Set the IP address of the connected PC to the subnetwork of the GW EIP/ASCII...: for
example, IP = 192.168.254.10, subnetwork = 255.255.255.0.

Figure 4-1 “Login” screen
The web server responds immediately.
The default settings are invoked whenever the system is reset.
If the web server does not load, first check the IP parameters of the PC. If everything is set
correctly, check to see if there are any proxy settings loaded in the web browser. The proxy
setting must be set to “Load automatically” or “Deactivated” to properly establish
communication.
