Logging In to the Device for the First Time Through the Web System
Only a device with factory defaults can be logged in through the web system for the first time. To log in to a device through the web system, connect a PC to the device according to the table below, configure the IP address of the PC to be in the same network segment as the default IP address of the device, and access the default IP address of the device in a browser by entering https://ip-address.
The table below uses V200R022C00 and V600R023C00 as an example. You can also obtain the default IP address and method for logging in to the web system for the first time from the nameplate at the bottom of the device.
