Accessing the Web-based User Interface

NOTE: The user interface shown in this guide is available when using VN‑Matrix 200,
225, 300, or 325 devices or a VNM Recorder. This interface is best used when
configuring small systems. For larger systems, using a VNM Enterprise Controller
interface is recommended. See the VNM Enterprise Controller User Guide for more
information.
The web‑based user interface can be accessed using a suitable web browser (for example,
Microsoft® Internet Explorer® v7 or above or Mozilla® Firefox® v1.3 or above) running on
any PC or laptop connected to the VN‑Matrix network. With a web browser open, use the
following steps to access the user interface.
1. Type in the IP address of the controller device into the address bar of the web browser
(for example, http://192.168.254.254). The web page shown in figure 17 appears in the
browser.
NOTES:
If the VNM Recorder is configured as the controller device of the VN‑Matrix
network, the IP address must be appended with the port number that is used as
the web page server (for example, http://192.168.254.254:8090).
If the web browser cannot access the web-based user interface, the security
settings of the web browser may need to be configured. See the Browser
Configuration section on page 68 for more information.

2. Enter the appropriate username and password.

By default, these are both set to admin.
For information on how to change the password, see the Accounts Page section
on page 41.
