Cellwatch Frontier System Installation & User Manual
Section II – User Guide-63
Introduction
This user guide will walk through the basic functionality of the web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
for the Frontier system. Advanced engineering features will not be covered in detail in this document.
Connecting to Frontier
The Frontier unit is accessible for configuration and operation using a password-protected web
interface. To access the device, the user must enter the IP address of the device into a web browser. If
the IP is unknown, the USB service port can be used to access the device. The device can be accessed by
using either the Ethernet or USB connections. Use the USB service port if connecting to the Frontier
device for the first time.
Compatible Browsers
The following web browsers are compatible with the Frontier system:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Edge (version 79 onwards)
Using the USB Service Port
Connect a micro/mini-USB cable between a computer and the Frontier module. When a computer is
connected to the Frontier device for the first time, it will attempt to install a compatible USB driver that
will bridge the USB to a virtual Ethernet port on the Frontier device.
Note: It is highly recommended that the computer be connected to the internet to download the
latest drivers for the Frontier unit. If needed an offline driver for Windows 7 and Windows 10 is
available on the USB drive provided with the Frontier Unit.
While the driver version may vary between operating systems, the driver is for a USB to
Ethernet/Gadget port. Once drivers have been installed, open a web browser and navigate to
http://169.254.86.10. A login prompt should appear similar to the one below.
