3 Graphical User Interface
3.1 Accessing the ENC-A-W* Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The ENC-A series provides a web browser based configuration system accessible by
either connecting directly to the encoder, via a network link or over a wireless
Ethernet connection such as the KBC WESII series products. The web browser GUI
is accessible via a computer set to the same static subnet as the encoder. See
section 3.1.1.1 below to ensure that your computer Operating System is supported.
3.1.1 Connecting to the ENC-A-W* GUI using a PC
Connect a crossover Ethernet cable from a computer’s LAN port to the LAN/WAN
port of the encoder. After applying power the red Power LED will light up and then
turn back off during its power boot up. Verify that the red Power LED has re-
illuminated after the initial boot up, this can take up to a minute or more.
