Chapter ⅣInternal Web UI Operation
4.1 Overview
Because of using the smart embedded Linux operating system and SXBLUE intelligent cloud
technology, SXBLUE PREMIER is allowed confi guring and monitoring the status of itself in real-time on internal web UI. And the accessing way not only supports the WIFI connection, but also supports
the USB connection to computer with the help of micro USB.
4.1.1 WIFI hotspot connection mode
First of all, the WIFI hotspot is default broadcasted by SXBLUE PREMIER, search the WIFI hotspot with the name of SXBLUE_xxxx using smartphone, tablet or laptop, then establish the WIFI connection and input the default IP (10.1.1.1) into explorer, apply the default username and password for login.
For example, search the WIFI hotspot broadcasted by a SXBLUE PREMIER receiver using laptop PC, choose the WIFI hotspot and click on connect button to establish the connection without password.
13
After that, run IE explorer on computer and input the default IP into address bar, after a while, the system login interface is refreshed, then apply the default username and password for login.
4.1.2 USB connection mode
On this mode, the micro USB port of SXBLUE PREMIER must work as an Ethernet port, then internal
web UI shall be accessed via micro USB cable connects to computer.
14
The micro USB port of SXBLUE PREMIER is default set as Ethernet function, then connect SXBLUE PREMIER receiver to computer via a micro USB cable. Run the IE explorer on computer and type IP
192.168.155.155 into IP address bar, then input the default username (admin) and password (admin)
for login.
At the fi rst time to connect to a computer, a corresponding driver is required to install to the computer,
then this function could be activated.
15
NOTE : The driver can be downloaded from offi cial website automatically or please contact with us for more
supports.
16
If the driver has been successfully installed, the micro USB port of SXBLUE PREMIER will be recognized as Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget, and a local area connection will generate in
Network Connections on the computer. For example, Local Area Connection 138 generates after
connecting SXBLUE PREMIER receiver to computer via micro USB Ethernet port.
However, sometimes the computer cannot detect the receiver by micro USB Ethernet port because
there is something wrong with acquiring IP automatically, therefore, we need to do something to avoid such problem, we can set a fi xed LAN IP for the connection : right click on the local area
connection which is new generated, choose properties to call out the local area connection properties window.
Then double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option or click on properties button to call out Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties window, set the fi xed LAN IP address as shown in following, then click OK button and confi rm the settings, return to the IE browser and use the IP address 192.168.155.155 to access the internal web UI.
17
4.2 Web UI Main Interface
As shown in the following screenshot, this is the main interface of web UI of SXblue PREMIER while login, it contains the common used operation menu and the information window including detail information and settings.
For example, the operation menu is listed at the left column that includes Status, Confi guration, Satellite Information, Data Record, Data Transfer, Network Confi g, Firmware Update, User Management and
