Establishing the FTP Password

The FTP password is established using the Embedded Web Server. This topic contains information on how to access the web server for purposes of changing the and passwords. The first thing the system administrator should do upon accessing the web server is change the FTP password. Doing this restricts access to the web server functionality to the system administrator.

Web server pages and their functionality are discussed in deatil in the chapter Embedded Web Pages.

Introduction to Accessing the Web Server

Each Quantum NOE module contains an embedded Web server, which allows you to access diagnostics and online configurations for the module and its associated controller (PLC).

The web pages can only be viewed using Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher supporting JRE 1.4.2_04 or higher.

For information about the additional functionality provided by the system in the NOE modules, see the FactoryCast Manual.

How to Access the Web Server

Before you can access the module’s home page, you must enter the full IP address in the Address or Location box in the browser window. For example: http://hostname (hostname is the full IP address or host name).

After you do this, the Schneider Electric Web Utility home page displays.
