Connect the FP‑I4C unit directly to a PC

For a direct connection, use a standard LAN cable and the unit's ETH1 connector.

The factory default IP address of the ETH1 connector is 192.168.0.1. This address is printed on a label attached to the unit's housing. The PC must be on the same subnet as the FP‑I4C unit.

  1. Connect a LAN cable between your PC and the ETH1 connector.
    A: Direct connection, B: Connection using a network switch
  2. Set the IP address in your PC.

    In Windows, go to Network Connections > Change adapter options. Select Ethernet > Properties. On the Network tab, select Internet protocol, Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties. Select Use the following IP address and set the IP address.

    Example:
    • IP address: 192.168.0.10
    • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    • (Settings for default gateway and preferred DNS server not required.)
  3. Open your browser and enter the URL https://192.168.0.1/machine_config.

    Depending on your browser, an insecure connection warning may be displayed. Follow the instructions in your browser to accept the connection. You will then be forwarded to the Web interface of the FP‑I4C unit.

  4. Log in with the user name "admin" and the default password "admin".

    You are now in the system settings area where you can make general network and service settings, change the user interface language and password (see "Related topics"). We recommend that you change the default password as soon as possible.

  5. Select Application Settings to go to the application settings area.

You are now ready to configure the services required for your application.
