Chapter 3 – Web Management

Interface

Introduction

In this chapter, we present the screens of the FF240-IP web management interface and describe the sub-categories for each screen. The major sections are presented along the top navigation bar of the web interface and most of these will activate a left-hand navigation window of sub-categories when clicked. As with any secure browser-based user interface, a certificate is required to allow access. The certificate used by the FF240-IP unit is self-signed, meaning that you will see a security warning when you first access the unit from a browser. These warnings do not mean that the unit is not secure; it is merely an indication that the validated certificate is not signed by a third party. Please select the option to continue when you are presented this information.

Login Screen

When you enter the IP address of your FF240-IP unit in a browser, you will first see the certificate warning as noted above. After continuing past the warning, you will be presented with the Login Screen. When you first receive your unit, the default username is admin and the default password is admin.

Forgot Password?

Should you forget your password, a link is provided that you can click to have your password emailed to you for access. Enter your username in the form provided and click the Send button to have the FF240- IP email the password.
