Computer
You can use a web-based interface on your computer to control Zonetech remotely.
To set up Zonetech for use with its web interface:
1.
Use standard Ethernet cables to connect Zonetech’s
Computer Ethernet port
to a
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)-enabled router or similar access point, and
then connect your computer to another port on the same router or access point.
2.
Once connected to a network, Zonetech will automatically acquire a dynamic IP address
that you can use. This may take a few seconds.
3.
Press the
Info
button on Zonetech until the
Wired Network Settings
appear on the
display
, and then make note of the
DHCP IP
address (e.g.,
10.10.10.182
).
To open the Zonetech web interface
:
1.
Open a web browser on your computer.
2.
In the browser, enter the
DHCP IP
address shown in Zonetech's
Wired Network
Settings
(e.g.,
http://10.10.10.182
) to load the web interface.
3.
Press the
Login
button, and then enter the password for
Full
access mode. The default
password is
admin
.
To use the web interface,
log-in to either the
Full
or
Limited
access options using your
password. If no password has been set, users will be logged in automatically at that access
level. These are some of the editable settings in Full access which are most commonly used:
