Thrulink Operations Manual
ADVANCED OPERATION
WEB BROWSER INTERFACE
Each ThruLink has a web browser interface to access the advanced setup functions.
If changing advanced settings, be sure to connect to and power the units individually.
To access this interface, connect the device to the Ethernet port on a computer,
launch the web browser and type in the default IP address at https://192.168.1.10.
Please note that the “s” must be included as the IP alone or along with http:// will
not access the interface. The configuration of the computer used to access the unit
may need to be changed depending on its IP settings. The IP address of the
computer should be set to 192.168.1.xxx. The xxx setting can be any address 2 –
254 excluding 10 or any other IP address(s) you wish to use for a ThruLink on that
subnet (or Encoder/Decoder/WES Mesh product if applicable). The Subnet mask
should be 255.255.255.0. If you have any questions or concerns about changing
these settings, please contact your network administrator.
Note: The GUI interface is only accessible via a secure web browser address
(i.e,
https://192.168.1.10
)
ACCEPTING THE WEB BROWSER SECURITY CERTIFICATE
In order to reach the ID/password log in, the web browser must ensure its security.
The browser will believe that the connection is not safe but it is OK to accept the
certificate and access the interface.
