Field Agent Configuration
Start the Embedded Field Agent (EFA)
After providing the CPE400 with power, the Embedded Field Agent (EFA) application will begin to boot.
The FAOK LED will start blinking to indicate when the EFA has booted and is ready for user logins. (This
may take about two minutes.)
Log into the Web Console
To log into the Web Console:
1.
Connect a computer to the EFA’s IICS Cloud Port or EFA Port.
2.
Configure the computer’s network adapter to be an address on the Field Agent network.
•
The EFA’s default IICS Cloud Port or EFA Port is assigned 172.31.0.100 with subnet mask
255.255.0.0. Set your computer’s network adapter to any other IP address on the
172.31.x.x
network. For example, 172.31.0.101 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
3.
Use the OLED Menu to enable Configuration Mode as follows:
•
From the Main Menu, select the “FA Settings” menu item.
•
From the FA Settings Menus, select the “Commands” menu item.
•
From
the Commands Menus, select the “Config Mode” menu item.
•
Confirm entering Config Mode.
•
Configuration Mode will remain active for one hour or until the above steps are repeated to
disable Configuration Mode.
Note:
Browsing to the Web Console too soon may result in seeing an Authentication Required or
similar drop-down/pop-up dialog. Entering a user name and password into this dialog will
not permit a log-in to the Web Console. Wait for the Field Agent to fully boot as indicated by
the FAOK LED and re-attempt to browse to the Web Console. Closing the current browser
tab or window may also be required.
4.
Using Google Chrome (recommended), browse to the Field Agent’s Web Console at
https://172.31.0.100:8443/system/console
5.
Since the Web Console uses a self-signed certificate, the browser will warn that the connection is
not private. When prompted, accept the connection.
6.
Login using the default credentials.
