Access the web interface: htt p: / /"IP-address" and log-in.

The web page provides an overview of the energy measurement values of all phases , as well as the external sensors, provided that they are connected.

The column "Residual Current" is only visible on models that support this feature.

2.3 Maintenance

The actual devic e generation with IPv6 and SSL allows all maintenance functions in the web interface to be carried out on the Maintenance Page .

15

Maintenance in the web interface

Operating

The following functions are available from the maintenance web page:

·

Firmware Update

·

Change the SSL certificate

·

Load and save the c onfiguration

·

Restart the devic e

·

Factory Reset

·

Jump into the Bootloader

·

Delete the DNS cac he

Upload Firmware, Certificate or Configuration

On the Maintenance Page , selec t the required fi le with " B rowse .. " i n t he sec t i ons "Firmware Update", "S SL Certificate Upload" or "Config Import File Upload" and press "Upload". The file is now transferred to the update area of the devic e and the contents are checked. Only now, pressing the "A pply " button will permanently update the data, or abort with " Cancel".

Only one upload funct ion c an be initiated with a reboot, eg. you cannot transmit firm-

ware and configuration at t he s ame ti me.

If after a firmware update, the web page is not displayed c orrectly any more, this may

be related to the interacti on of Javascript with an outdated browser cache. If a Ctrl-F5 does not help, it is recomm ended that you manually delete the cache in the browser options. A l t ernatively , you c an tes t start t he browser in "privat e mode".

15

Acti ons i n Bootloader mode

If t he web interfac e of the device is no longer acces sible, the device can be put into Bootloader mode (see chapter Bootloader activat ion ). The following funct ions c an be executed using the GBL_Conf.exe application:

·

Set IPv4 address, net-mask and gateway

·

Turn HTTP password on and off

·

Turn IP-ACL on and off

·

Factory Reset

·

Jump into the bootloader (can be switc hed on and off)

·

Restart the devic e

18

For devices with relays , entering or exiting the bootloader mode does not c hange

the st ate of the relays as long as t he operating voltage is maintained. The GBL_Conf.exe program is available free of charge on our website www.gude.info and

can also be found on the enclos ed CD-ROM.

14

Operating

Interface GBL_Conf

To check the network settings with GBL_Conf.exe, start the program and choose "All Devices" in the "Search" menu. From the lis t selec t the appropriate devic e. The lower

part of the left half of the window now shows the current network s ettings of the device. If the IP address i s dis play ed with the default s et t ings (192.168.0.2), either no DHCP server is present on the network, or there could be no free IP address ass i gned to it.

·

Activate the Bootloader Mode (see Chapter Bootloader Mode) and choose in menu

"Search" t he it em " B ootloader-Mode Devices only"

·

Enter the desired settings in the edit window and save them with "Save Config".

·

Deactivat e the boot loader mode for the changes to take effect. Select again "All Devices" in the "Search" menu of GBL_Conf .exe.

The new network configuration is now displayed.

Factory Reset

The device can be reset to the factory default via t he web interface from the Maintenance

15 18

Page or f rom the Bootloader mode (see chapter Bootloader act ivation ). All TCP/IP sett ings are reset in this operation.

If a unit is s et to factory defaults, an uploaded certificate or updated firmware will be

preserved.

2.3.1

Maint en a n c e Page

This section provides access to important functi ons such as Firmware Update or Rest art Device. It is advis able to s et an HTTP password for this reason.

15

Operating

Firmware Update: S tart a firmware update. SSL Certificate Upload: S aves y our own SS L c ertificate. S ee c hapter "SSL " for the

generation of a certificate in t he right format. Config Import File Upload: Loads a new confi guration from a text file. To apply t he new

configuration, a "Restart Device" must be executed after the "Upload". Config Fil e Export: Saves the c urrent configuration in a text file.

Saving the configuration should only be c arried out in an SS L c onnection, since it

contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed). Restart Device: Rest arts the device without changing the status of the relays.

Some functions s uch as a firmware update or changing of the IP-address and HTTP sett ings require a restart of the device. A j ump to t he boot loader or a restart of the device lead by no means to a change of the relay st at es .

Restore Fab Settings and Restart Device: Performs a restart and resets t he devic e t o factory default .

Enter Bootloader Mode: Jumps into bootloader mode, where additional settings can be made with GBL_Conf.exe.

19

Flush DNS Cache: All entries in t he DNS cache are discarded and address resolutions are requested again.

16

Operating

2.3.2

Configu ratio n Management

The device configuration can be saved and restored in the maintenance area .

The "Confi g File E xport" function can be used to save t he current configuration as a text file. The syntax us ed in the configuration file corresponds to t he comm ands of the Telnet console. If the configuration of a devi c e is to be restored from a text file, load the file with "Upload" and restart the device with "Restart Device".

Saving the configuration should only be c arried out in an SS L c onnection, since it contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed). For the same reasons, it i s advi s able to c arefully handle the generated configuration files when archiving.

15

Editing the configurati on fi le

It is poss i ble to c us tomize a s aved configuration file with a text edit or for your own needs. For example, one sc enario would be to use a script language to automate t he creation of many c us t omi z ed versions of a configuration, then equip a large number of devices wit h an individualized configuration. A lso Upload and rest art with CGI commands can be done in sc ripting languages. Wit h use of the comment s i gn "#" y ou c an quick ly hide single commands or add personal notes .

If you modify a c onfiguration file manually, it is not always c l ear which limits are allowed for parameters. A fter uploading and restarting, commands with invalid parameters are ignored. Therefore, the generated configuration includes comments describing the boundaries of the parameters. Where "range:" refers to a numeric value, and "len:" t o a t ex t parameter. E. g:

email a u th set 0 #rang e : 0..2 email u s er set "" #len : 0 . .100

The command "syst em fabsettings " from the beginning of a generated configuration file brings the device into t he factory state, and then executes the individual commands that modify the configuration state. It may be desirable to make the changes relative t o t he current configuration, and not out of the fact ory state. Then the "s yst em fabsetti ngs" should be removed.

Confi gurati on via Tel net

The configuration files can in principle also be transferred in a Telnet session, but then the sett i ngs are changed during operation, and not c ompletely when restarting, as it would have been the case with an upload. It can happen that events are triggered at the same tim e as t he devic e is configured. One should therefore:

a) dis able the function

17

Operating

b) c ompletely parametrize c) reactivate the funct i on

An example:

email e n abled s et 0 email s e nder se t "" #le n: 0..1 00 email r e cipien t s e t "" #le n: 0..1 00 email s e rver se t "" #le n: 0..1 00 email p o rt set 25 email s e curity set 0 #r ange: 0 ..2 email a u th set 0 #rang e : 0..2 email u s er set "" #len : 0 . .100 email p a sswd ha sh set " " #len: 0 . .100 email e n abled s et 1 #ra nge: 0. .1
