Getting Local Web Control

The user web interface is the preferred method of local control. If it has been enabled at the

factory, then this subsection should allow you to properly setup and verify. Even if enabled, you
probably may need to setup the iPump6420 LAN network parameters to get it to work. Perform
the following steps to accomplish this. If any questions about using the i6420 Front-Panel,
please refer to a more thorough discussion in Chapter 3. Note that these quick install instructions
cannot go into details about setting up modern IP networks. Please consult your IT department,
or, even better, a good book on networking to help you there.

Steps to setup LAN port networking in iPump6420:

1. On the front LCD, confirm that you are at the “Home” screen (see Chapter 3), by

pressing button several times.

2. Press the <Å> button twice to get the “Unit Setup” screen.
3. Press , then press either <Å> or <Æ> several times, until you get to the “IP

Setup” screen.

4. Press and then you should see the “LAN IP Settings” screen. (If you were

actually looking for the “WAN IP Settings” screen, then press the <Æ> button
once.)

5. Press again and then you should see the “LAN Addressing Mode” screen.
6. The choices are either “STATIC” or “DHCP”. If you wanted DHCP, and that is

what is shown, then you are done: Press several times until you return to the
original Home screen; then cycle power on the unit to force a reboot and request for
an IP address from the network’s DHCP server. Otherwise, if you wanted LAN and
that is what is shown, then skip to step #10.

7. While still at the “LAN Addressing Mode” screen, if you need to change the setting,

then press to get an “edit session”.

8. Use the <

> or <

> button to modify the value, then press to ‘save’ it. If

you do not wish to make changes, exit by pressing .

9. If you were changing to DHCP, then press several times to return to the

Home screen; then cycle power on the unit to force a reboot and request for an IP
address from the network’s DHCP server (you are done).

10. If the desired mode was STATIC, and that is what you now have, then press the

<Æ> button once to get the “LAN Static IP Addr” screen.

11. If you want to change the IP address shown, press to get an edit screen.
12. Press the <Æ> or <Å> buttons to move the cursor under the digit you wish to edit.

Then press the <

> or <

> button to modify the value.

13. Repeat above as often as necessary, remembering that all octets (numbers between

the periods) less than ‘100’ will be shown with leading ‘0’s (so to show the value
‘’3’, the screen must show ‘003’). When done, press to save the change, or
press to leave the edit screen without saving.

14. Next, press the <Æ> button once to get the “LAN Static Netmask” screen.
15. If you want to change the Netmask shown, press to get an edit screen.
16. As done above, finish editing the netmask, then press to leave the edit

session and save the results, or press to leave without saving.

17. Next press the <Æ> button once to get the “LAN Static Gateway” screen.
