Control from a webserver
For trouble-free operation, it is necessary to set the level detection correctly.
With a pump-fed system, the water level in the filter system does not only depend on the water level of the pond. But the
water level in the filter system also depends on the circulation capacity. Therefore, a water level setting may be required if
one is going to move more or less water.
You can change the settings of the filter with a tablet or a smart phone or even your PC.
Connect to a smartphone or tablet using wifi
➢First connect via the Wi-Fi signal FSBPI (password = hotspotfsbpi )
➢Then open the browser (for example, Chrome or Opera)
➢Use the web address http://192.168.4.1 to access the login page.
➢For installation instructions of the web server see paragraph 9
Connecting the web server to a local network
➢Access your router from your local area network (see router user manual how) and log into your router
➢Find the DHCP client list and see which devices are listed
➢Connect a UTP LAN cable to the RJ45 jack (WAN) of the web server and the other end of the cable to your LAN
connection of the Local area network router. (and connect the web server to the power outlet with the adapter if it
is not already done)
➢Log in to your LAN router again and see which device has now been added to the DHCP client list and remember the
IPv4 address.
➢In your router's device table, there should be an option to make the device's IPv4 address static (also called
"reserved" or "permanent lease time," see the router's user manual on how to do this)
Now that you know the IPv4 address, you can connect to the web server from any device on the local network
using http://aaa.bbb.ccc. ddd (where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the preserved IPv4 LAN address of the web server)
Connecting to the web server from a remote network
➢First, make sure that the steps of point 8. 2 works and that you can connect to the web server as explained there.
➢In order for the LAN IPv4 address to receive calls from outside the LAN network, we need to forward a port in the
LAN router.
➢See in the user manual of your LAN router where and how to set up port forwardingfor an iPv4 address. (sometimes
called a virtual server)
➢With port forwarding, we now have to create a new rule.
➢As a rule, we first fill in aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, (where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the retained IPv4 LAN address of the web server
which often starts with 192.168.ccc.ddd or 10.0.ccc.ddd)
➢As a local port, we choose port 80 because this is the Http port that we connect to the web server on the local
network.
➢As a public port, we can choose any port other than the ports reserved for other servers.
➢So as a public gate, for example, we could choose port 1112 (as it is not reserved)
➢For protocol we can choose both tcp and udp.
➢Now we can enable and save the rule.
➢Find your public IPv4 address provided by your provider (see for instance http://www.whatismyip.com ).
➢Use your public IPv4 address yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy with the public port 1112 to connect to the web server.
➢Open your web browser and on the address line fill in http://yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:1112 (where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IPv4
public adress you found) and press enter.
➢Now you need to be connected to your web server from a network other than your local network.
