Accessing the Web Interface

1. Use a network cable (Cat 5 or better, not provided) to connect the network port on your device to the network at your location. Make sure your computer is connected to the same LAN as your device.

2. Open the RackLink Discovery Tool and click the Discover button to locate RackLink devices on your network.

   Download the Discovery Tool self-extracting executable onto your computer from the Power Downloads page at: https://www.legrandav.com/resources/power-downloads.

   NOTE

   You may need to contact your administrator to run a self-extracting executable on your computer. You may need to disable your Windows firewall to discover your device. If you have previously changed the host name or IP address of your network card, access the interface using your new settings. Chrome is used as the web browser for the example shown in this topic. The procedures and images are similar if you use a different browser.

   The Discovery Tool opens a web browser and accesses your device IP address (192.168.1.201, unless changed).

   For more information, see Using the RackLink Discovery Tool on a PC.

3. Click Advanced and then Proceed to bypass the security certificate warning (since locally issued certificates may be used at this point).

   

   The web interface login appears and prompts you for credentials.

   

4. Log into the web interface with username: admin and password: admin default credentials.

   The default names and passwords for the Administrator, User, and Control Systems accounts in your web interface, respectively, are as follows:

   Administrator Read Only User Control System Account
   Username: admin	Username: user	Username: user
   Password: admin	Password: user	Password: password

   NOTE

   If you are logging in for the first time using the administrator account, the Web Interface Utility makes you change the default passwords for all three accounts (for security purposes, you cannot use the defaults for this forced change) and makes you configure the system time settings. For more information, see Configuring Passwords. If you have previously changed the username and password for any of the accounts, log in with the new settings. External devices access your RackLink’s serial API through the Control System account. This account is not used to access the web interface. If you are still unable to connect to the web interface, see Troubleshooting.

5. Enter the credentials for the account you wish to use.

6. Click Login.

   The Dashboard appears.

   Every screen of the web interface includes your connected RackLink device’s name and model number, and firmware version with the facility code.

NOTE

The Administrator Settings menu only appears when logged in using the Admin account. For more information, see Configuring Administrator Settings.
