STEP 1 –On a network computer, launch a supported web browser. The browser window appears.
STEP 2 –In the Address/Location field, enterhttps:// [IPaddress] with the static IP address of the Network Module.
STEP 3 –The login screen appears.
STEP 4 –Enter the user name in the User Name field. The default user name is admin.
STEP 5 –Enter the password in the Password field. The default password is admin.
STEP 6 –The password must be changed at first login.
STEP 7 –Click Login. The Network Module web interface appears.
2.2 Finding and setting the IP address
2.2.1 Your network is equipped with a BOOTP/DHCP server (default)
2.2.1.1 Read from the device LCD
If your device has an LCD, from the LCD’s menu, navigate to Identification>>>"COM card IPv4".
Note the IP address of the card.
Go to the section: Accessing the web interface through Network.
2.2.1.2 With web browser throughthe configuration port
For example, if your device does not have an LCD, the IP address can be discovered by accessing the web interface through RNDIS
andbrowsing to Settings>Network.
Security settings in the Network Module may be in their default states.
For maximum security, configure through a USB connection before connecting the network cable.
It is highly recommended that browser access to the Network Module is isolated from outside access using a
firewall or isolated network.

2.3 Accessing the web interface through RNDIS
This connection is used to access and configure the Network Module network settings locally through a RNDIS(Ethernet over USB
interface).
2.3.1 Connecting the configuration cable
1.Connect the Micro-B to USB cable to a USB connector on the host computer.
2. Connect the cable to the Settings connector on theNetwork Module.
2.3.2 Web interface access through RNDIS
2.3.2.1 Configuring the RNDIS
a Automatic configuration
b Manual configuration
STEP 1 –In case Windows® OS fails to find driver automatically, go to theWindows control panel>Network and sharing
center>Local area connection
STEP 2 –Right click on the RNDIS local area connection and select Properties.
STEP 3 –Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and press the Properties button
