The FP‑I4C unit is configured using any standard Web browser.
To perform an initial function test and to configure the FP‑I4C unit, connect a PC and the unit in the same Ethernet network and connect the 24V DC power supply.
You can connect the unit and the PC directly via LAN cable. In this case, use the ETH1 connector, which has a fixed IP address, and set the IP address in your PC (see "Related topics").
In larger networks where IP addresses area usually assigned by a DHCP server, you first need to find out the IP address of your FP‑I4C unit. This can easily be done with the HMWIN Studio software. Use the ETH0 connector in networks with a DHCP server.
With the IP address of your device and the proper URL, you can open the FP‑I4C Web interface in your browser. You can now activate and configure the required services and functions.
The Web interface is divided in application settings and system settings. Use the corresponding menu commands to switch between these areas. Or enter the URL to access each area directly:
Application Settings: https://[IP address]/fp_config
System Settings: https://[IP address]/machine_config
Replace [IP address] with the IP address of your FP‑I4C unit (e.g. https://192.168.0.10/machine_config).
In the System Settings, you can change the user interface language and password (see "Related topics").
You can find detailed operating instructions for the FP‑I4C Web interface if you click on the help button in the status bar of the Application Settings.
