7.2 Configuring the read/write station via the web interface
The device can be configured with a web browser.
If you wish to operate the read/write station
with a self-defined, fixed IP address, it is recommended to configure
the device with a PC. This is the fastest method, particularly if several devices have to be configured. The
configuration PC must meet the following requirements:
Network card
Web browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge)
If the configuration PC features a firewall, it may be necessary to enable the EKS read/write station as a
trustworthy application. Refer to the firewall documentation for further information.
Launching the EKS web interface
Use of the web interface is described below.
Information!
You will find the DIP switch setting for activating the web interface in chapter 4.7.3.
1. Open a browser window and enter the default IP address http://192.168.1.1/ or the IP address you have
assigned for the EKS read/write station. If necessary, first reset the default IP address (see chapter 6.1.1.1).
If the EKS read/write station is located in a network with DHCP server, enter the automatically assigned IP
address.
