Logging In

You login to the IWS management application for the IPR by typing its IP address in a web browser and entering the default username and password (admin and admin) or by typing the current username and password if they have been changed on the Security Configuration page. If you have problems logging in because of a misconfigured IPR or a lost IP address, you can still launch IWS by connecting a USB keyboard directly to the IPR:

TTo manage the IPR via a USB keyboard:

1.Attach a USB keyboard (and optionally a mouse) to the IPR and press Ctrl-Alt-F1to launch IWS on the attached TV monitor.

2.After logging in, check the IP address and/or configure the IPR as necessary. If you don't have a mouse, use Tab and Shift-Tabto navigate.

3.When done, logout, press Crtl-Alt-F2, and remove the keyboard. This restores the user interface in the configured Start mode.

Note You can use the IP address or the hostname to log into the IPR. Depending on your network, you may need to enter a fully qualified domain name. For example, you may need to enter http://<hostname>.<domain_name>.loc as the url rather than simply

http://<hostname>.

Saving Changes

You must be logged in as an admin user to save changes; if logged in as a public user, no configuration changes or maintenance operations will take effect. Once logged in you can navigate and change configuration parameters as necessary. Each page has it's own Apply button that saves the changes you made on that page. Click Apply to save all of the changes you've made on a page—do not click Apply after each individual change. Note that file system writes, such as those resulting from a change to the configuration or modifying the local user interface, may take several seconds. Do not reboot the IPR immediately after such writes to avoid corrupting the file system and possibly losing data.

Note When making configuration changes, always press Apply to save your changes. When selecting the Default, an Apply is not necessary. A Default automatically applies your changes and may reboot the IPR depending on the parameters you changed.
