Configuration via the HTML pages of the Bus Coupler

An HTML page is available for the configuration. This can be reached via the IP address/Config (e.g.192.168.1.3/Config). We recommend the use of Chrome or Firefox as browser.

If DHCP is used, enter the name of the Bus Coupler instead of the IP address. The default name of the Bus Coupler starts with the string "EK-", followed by the last 3 bytes of its MAC address (MAC ID). The MAC address can be found on the sticker on the left of the Bus Coupler.

Sample: The MAC address is 00-01-05-02-03-04. The resulting default name is "EK-020304". Now enter "EK-020304/Config" in your browser. The login name is "guest", the default password is "1" (without quotes).

The firmware and hardware versions as well as the serial number can be read on the information diagnostic page. The diagnosis history can be read if problems occur. The diagnosis history is not saved and is cleared in the case of a restart.

Boot Opt

The Boot Opt allows you to enable/disable Remote Display. You can also restore the factory settings and trigger a manual reboot of the device.

Network-Interface

The network interface enables you to set the IP address. Please note that the DIP switch of the EK9500 takes precedence and its setting applies regardless of what you set in the dialog

Example

DIP switch DIP 1 = on; DIP 2...10 off, setting in the dialog 10.1.2.3 -> genuine IP address = 10.1.2.1 (The DIP switch overwrites the last byte of the IP address).

Set the desired IP address and then click on the checkmark.

Note: the old IP address is displayed again in the dialog field since it is still the valid address.

A software reboot is necessary after changing the IP address. To do this, go onto "Boot Opt." and click on "Reboot".

With the DIP switch setting

• DIP 1 to DIP 8 = on and
• DIP 9 and DIP 10 = off

all 4 bytes of the IP address are accepted from the dialog field.
