Configuration with Web Page Interface
Note: The ability to configure the eBOX GPI8 with the eBOX GPI8
Configuration Utility while the eBOX GPI8 is in use was added. For
this reason, using the eBOX GPI8 Configuration Utility to configure
the eBOX GPI8 is the recommended method to configure the eBOX
GPI8.
When SW8 is set in the ‘On’ position, the eBOX GPI8 allows
access to the configuration web page. On this page, various
settings such as port rate and parity, IP addresses and ports, and
password can be modified.
Note: The eBOX GPI8 will not send GPI messages when the eBOX
GPI8 is set to configuration mode.
This page is accessed by setting SW8 to the ‘On’ position and
typing
http://192.168.254.102 into your web browser. During this
time, the normal operation of the eBOX GPI8 is suspended. Make
any changes that are necessary for your system and click on
SUBMIT. These changes are stored in nonvolatile memory and
are loaded at power up.
Note: The configuration web page is always set to 192.168.254.102
regardless of the state of the DIP switches.
Note: In the configuration mode, the subnet mask is set to
255.255.255.0. This means that the eBOX GPI8 will only see traffic
from computers with and IP address of 192.168.254.nnn. You will
need to change your computers IP address to 192.168.254.nnn where
nnn = any number except 0, 102 and 255. This will allow your
computer to access the configuration page of the eBOX GPI8.
Switch SW8 to the ‘Off’ position and power cycle the eBOX GPI8
so the changes are loaded.
The configuration web page is shown on the next page.
