Moxa UC-8416-CE [31/48] Web based management system

4. Web-based Management System

Note: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above is required to use the web based management system.

The UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE ready-to-run embedded computers are network-centric platforms and are

designed to serve as excellent front-ends for data acquisition and industrial control. Due to the distributed

characteristics of the devices, that these computers control, they often reside in harsh areas as the devices

themselves and are away from system administrators. To manage these computers, operations such as

networking/server configuration, file management, and process (thread) monitoring/control become a critical

area to consider.

To resolve these management issues and accordingly reduce the toil of system administration, a web-based

management system is installed into the UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE computers. This system incorporates

often-used features into CGI pages and categorizes them on a menu bar.

Before operating the system, please make sure you have a network connection from your PC to the target

computer and can open an Internet browser at your PC after the connection. Then, use the IP address of the

target computer as a home page URL. After the main page comes out, click on Web-Based Management.

Provide your authentication data including user ID and password into the corresponding fields of the prompt

(case sensitive) and then hit the enter key to request access to the management system. The system checks

your data with the users previously defined in the computer and then determines the validity of your logon.

The default User ID and Password are as follows:

User ID: admin

Password: admin
