11.3.3 Using a web browser
The IB-Lite module with firmware version 1.1 and above makes it possible to use any web browser for
basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Direct your web browser to the IP address of the
module, e.g. http://192.168.1.254 and then enter the access code.
11.3.4 IB-Lite setup procedure
NOTE:
Setting the module up requires a certain familiarity with network administration. Ask your IT specialist
for assistance.
The default settings of the module are IP = 192.168.1.254, Netmask = 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway = 192.168.1.1. The default password for service webpages is “comap” (or “0”).
To restore the default settings, close the “restore default setting” jumper located on the module before
switching the controller on and remove it few seconds after the controller has been switched on.
NOTE:
The default settings can be changed directly from the controller panel by pressing the “Page” button
and using ▼, ▲ and “Enter” to get to the “Comms Settings” menu (THIS APPLIES TO FIRMWARE VERSIONS
1.3 AND HIGHER).
Configuration
1. Plug the module into the controller and power the controller on.
2. Connect the module into your Ethernet network. If the default address does not match local
network parameters (i.e. the network segment does not use the IP range 192.168.1.xxx or the
IP 192.168.1.254 is occupied), connect the module directly to your PC using a cross-wired
cable. See details in the Installation chapter.
3. If you are connected directly, you have to change temporarily the IP address and subnet mask
of your PC Ethernet connection. Use the following settings: DHCP disabled, IP from the range
192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.253 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. After the IB-Lite setup is
finished, restore your PC setting back to the original values.
4. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_config.htm.
5. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
6. It is recommended to change the user name and password and keep the new values
confidential.
7. Consult your IT specialist for proper IP settings.
8. Consult your e-mail provider for proper e-mail settings. Note that also most public SMTP
servers require authentication and e-mails must be sent from an existing address.
9. If you want to enable access only for clients with a specified IP address, tick the checkbox
“Trusted clients” and fill-in the allowed IP addresses.
NOTE:
See also the latest LiteEdit Reference Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for more information
about IB-Lite setup.
Firmware upgrade
1. Follow steps 1–3 of the configuration procedure above.
2. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_fw_upld.htm.
3. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
4. Press the button “Browse” and select the appropriate firmware file.
5. Press “Upload new firmware” button. After the firmware upload is finished, the module will
restart.
NOTE:
Interrupting the upload will NOT cause any damage. Just repeat the upload again.
