Preparations and WebUI Login

Procedure

1. Connect the network cable between the network port of the PC and the WAN or LAN port of the SmartLogger. It is recommended that the PC be connected to the LAN port of the SmartLogger.
2. Set the IP address for the PC on the same network segment as the SmartLogger IP address.

   Connected Port	Item	SmartLogger Default Value	Example PC Setting
   LAN port	IP address	192.168.8.10	192.168.8.11
   	Subnet mask	255.255.255.0	255.255.255.0
   	Default gateway	192.168.8.1	192.168.8.1
   WAN port	IP address	192.168.0.10	192.168.0.11
   	Subnet mask	255.255.255.0	255.255.255.0
   	Default gateway	192.168.0.1	192.168.0.1

   • When the IP address of the WAN port is in the network segment from 192.168.8.1 to 192.168.8.255, set the default gateway to 192.168.8.1 and the IP address of the LAN port to 192.168.3.10. If the connected port is a LAN port, you need to adjust the network configuration of the PC.
   • It is recommended that the PC be connected to the LAN port of the SmartLogger or the GE port of the SmartModule. When the PC is connected to the GE port of the SmartModule, adjust the network configuration of the PC to the configuration mode when the PC is connected to the LAN port of the SmartLogger.

3. Set LAN parameters.
   • If the SmartLogger is connected to a LAN and a proxy server has been configured, you need to cancel the proxy server configurations.
   • If the SmartLogger is connected to the Internet and the PC is connected to the LAN, do not cancel the proxy server configurations.
   1. Open Internet Explorer.
   2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
   3. Click the Connections tab and then click LAN settings.
   4. Clear Use a proxy server for your LAN.

   5. Click OK.
4. Log in to the SmartLogger WebUI.
   1. In the address box of a browser, enter https://XX.XX.XX.XX (XX.XX.XX.XX is the IP address of the SmartLogger) and press Enter. The login page is displayed.

      If you log in to the WebUI for the first time, a security risk warning is displayed. Click Continue to this website to log in to the WebUI.

      • It is recommended that users use their own certificates. If the certificate is not replaced, the security risk warning will be displayed during each login.
      • After logging in to the WebUI, you can import a certificate under Maintenance > Security Settings > Network Security Certificate.
      • The imported security certificate needs to be bound to the SmartLogger IP address. Otherwise, the security risk warning will still be displayed during login.

   2. Select a desired language.
   3. Select the User Name and enter the Password according to the following table, and then click Log In.

      If...	Then...
      On the login page, the User Name is admin by default.	Enter the initial password Changeme in the Password and click Log In. Change the initial password as prompted and use the admin user name and new password to log in again.
      On the login page, the User Name is empty by default.	Select installer in the User Name, set the login password as prompted, and click Log In.

      • Update the SmartLogger software as required.
      • To ensure account security, protect the password by changing it periodically, and keep it secure. Your password might be stolen or cracked if it is left unchanged for extended periods. If you lose the password, the device must be restored to its factory settings. In these cases, the Company shall not be liable for any loss caused to the plant.
      • You will be locked out for 10 minutes after five consecutive failed password attempts in 5 minutes.
      • A dialog box with recent login information is displayed after login. Click OK.
      • If the password of a non-administrator account is lost, you must reset the password using an administrator account. The administrator resets the password and enters the initial password. The non-administrator user logs in to the system using the initial password provided by the administrator. After the login, the user is forced to change the password.
      • If the password of an administrator account is lost, hold down the RST button on the SmartLogger for 10–20s to enter the safe mode. After the SmartLogger enters the safe mode, the device parameter settings are retained. Personal privacy and sensitive data, including login passwords and email addresses, will be deleted. SmartLogger V300R023C00 and later versions support this function.

   4. Choose Monitoring > Logger(Local) > About to view the SmartLogger software version and check whether software upgrade is needed.
   5. (Optional) To upgrade the SmartLogger software version, contact the Company's engineers to obtain the upgrade package and guide and complete the upgrade accordingly.
      • After the software upgrade is complete, the SmartLogger automatically restarts. Log in to the SmartLogger WebUI again 3 minutes later.
      • If the SmartLogger is upgraded from V300R001C00, the original admin user becomes an advanced user, and the login password remains unchanged. If administrator rights are required, log in to the SmartLogger as the installer user. The password is the same as that for logging in to the mobile app (the initial password is 00000a).
