1 Introduction to the web interface
1.1 General
The IP user module is configured via the web interface. The configuration
options are extensive. In detail, these are:
Integration in the productive network (e.g. assignment of IP
addresses)
Definition of the web interface timeout
Designation of the standard language of the web interface
Definition of the Syslog server
Administration of the user settings of the respective registered user
Update of the firmware (update function)
In addition, the web interface provides extensive operating options. You can
thus:
Restart the IP user module

In addition, the web interface provides information on:
Currently used network settings
Event protocol
System configuration of the IP user module
Current user sessions (client and server)
The following browser requirements have to be fulfilled to call up the web
interface:
Cookies enabled
Java script activated
Popup windows not principally blocked
Internet Explorer:
- Activate Initial ActiveX control initialization and execute those
that are not safe
or
- Activate Execute ActiveX Control Elements Safe for Scripting
and Execute ActiveX Control Elements and Plug-ins (default
of the IE)

2 Starting the web interface
Perform the following steps in order to work with the web interface:
1. Open the web browser of your computer and enter the IP address or
the hostname (for DNS servers) in the address bar of the IP user
module.
2. Click on Yes to confirm the security notice that is opening.
3. A web interface now opens. Select the language for running this
session in the field Language selection. You can select between
German and English. The language selection applies for the duration
of the session. The language that is displayed when the web interface
is first accessed is based on the defined standard language. This is
set within the web interface in the menu Configuration->System-
>User settings (see Chapter 3.1.2.1)
4. Please login with the user name and password for the web interface.
Ask your administrator for the respective information.
The default user name is Admin and the password is 4658. Please
contact your administrator about the new user identification if this user
identification has been changed.
To login, first move to the field User name. Use the TAB key to move
to the field Password.

5. After entering the User name and Password, click on Login.
Once you have logged in, you will see the start page of the web interface.
Now, from this window you can
configure,
operate,
and obtain system information.
Information regarding these topics is given in the following chapters.

3.1.1 Defining and editing network settings
Click the Server tab. The following window opens:
The entries in this window to be configured refer to the Ethernet interface of
the IP user module.
Use this interface to perform extensive network functions such as output of
syslog messages, time adjustment via a time server, and the KVM access via
the operation clients (Java or native client).

Use the Network settings section to define via which IP address the IP user
module is to be accessed in the network.
In the area IP assignment, you can choose between the settings Static and
DHCP (default: static).
If you set the entry in the field IP configuration to DHCP, no additional
settings are required.
The new IP address is now displayed.
If you set the entry in the area IP configuration to Static, you have additional
configuration options in the following fields:
IP Address: The IP address to be assigned to the IP user module in your
network
Net mask: The standard setting is 255.255.255.0
Note: If you change the IP address during an active IP session, the following
message window will alert you to this fact:
Page 11
Guntermann & Drunck GmbH UCON-IP-NEO Web interface
If you enter an invalid value in the field IP address (e.g. an alpha value, blank
value or a value that is too high that does not correspond with the IPv4
specifications) and you want to transfer this value to the device (Transfer to
device button) you will be advised of an invalid entry:
At the same time, the field IP address will mark the invalid entry box in red.
In the field Connection type, you choose the Ethernet connection speed and
the mode. This selection is available for the static assignment as well as for the
IP assignment via DHCP.
The options are:
Fixed Manual setting of the Ethernet connection speed and the mode.
Select between the listed options.
Auto The network interface and the counter device (second computer,
hub, switch) coordinate the speed between each other.

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH UCON-IP-NEO Web interface
In the section Global settings, you have the following entry options:
Assignment of global settings
Indicate here whether the IP address is to be a static or a
dynamic assignment (DHCP)
Host name The host name to be assigned to the IP user module
Domain Indicate here which domain the IP user module is to belong
to
Gateway Indicate here via which standard gateway
the IP user module is to be accessed
DNS-Server 1 Enter the P address of the DNS-Server
DNS-Server 2 See above
Note:
If you indicated in the field IP assignment (in the area for network settings) the
value as static, but in the field Assignment of global settings (in the area of
Global settings) you entered the value DHCP, you get the following warning:
Pay close attention that the values for the fields IP assignment and
assignment of global settings correspond.
After you made your changes, you transmit them to the IP user module by
clicking on Transfer to device. The following notification window opens:
If you decided to use this IP address for the IP user module in the future, you
have to reconnect to the IP user module within 5 minutes. From the time of the
next login, the IP user module can be accessed in the network with the new IP
address.
Page 13
Guntermann & Drunck GmbH UCON-IP-NEO Web interface
With the fallback mechanism, you achieve that the IP user module picks up the
old IP address setting again if there is no login after 5 minutes. This ensures
that the IP user module is accessible again with the old network settings.
This function is deactivated by setting the Deactivate fallback mechanism
checkmark! In this case, the IP user module keeps the new network settings.
By clicking Cancel, you end the process without transmitting the new settings
to the IP user module and you return to the Server tab.
If you want to change the tab or the menu without saving, you will be notified of
this condition in the following window:
Note:
Be sure to consider the notes regarding the impermissible special characters in
Chapter 1.2!

Here, you can change the user data of the web interface user, define the
server setting of the IP user module and process date and time settings.
