Logging In
You login to the IWS management application for the IPR by typing its IP address in a web
browser and entering the default username and password (admin and admin) or by typing the
current username and password if they have been changed on the Security Configuration
page. If you have problems logging in because of a misconfigured IPR or a lost IP address, you can
still launch IWS by connecting a USB keyboard directly to the IPR:
T To manage the IPR via a USB keyboard:
1. Attach a USB keyboard (and optionally a mouse) to the IPR and press
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to
launch IWS on the attached TV monitor.
2. After logging in, check the IP address and/or configure the IPR as necessary. If you
don't have a mouse, use
Tab and Shift-Tab to navigate.
3. When done, logout, press
Crtl-Alt-F2, and remove the keyboard. This restores the user
interface in the configured Start mode.
Saving Changes
You must be logged in as an admin user to save changes; if logged in as a public user, no
configuration changes or maintenance operations will take effect. Once logged in you can
navigate and change configuration parameters as necessary. Each page has it's own
Apply
button that saves the changes you made on that page. Click
Apply to save all of the changes
you've made on a page—do not click
Apply after each individual change. Note that file
system writes, such as those resulting from a change to the configuration or modifying the
local user interface, may take several seconds. Do not reboot the IPR immediately after such
writes to avoid corrupting the file system and possibly losing data.
Configuration
displays all IPR configuration options including general options,
network configuration, and security options.
Status
displays system data including MAC address, serial number, etc.
Maintenance
displays options to reboot or shutdown the IPR, or launch a software
upgrade.
Help
displays the IPR online help pages.
Logout
automatically logs out the current user and displays the IWS login
page.
Note You can use the IP address or the hostname to log into the IPR. Depending on your
network, you may need to enter a fully qualified domain name. For example, you may
need to enter
http://<hostname>.<domain_name>.loc as the url rather than simply
http://<hostname>.
Note When making configuration changes, always press
Apply to save your changes. When
selecting the
Default, an Apply is not necessary. A Default automatically applies your
changes and may reboot the IPR depending on the parameters you changed.
