This procedure requires DHCP and DNS servers within the network the GR/GM receiver is connected to. As a result all network
parameters will be assigned automatically. No IP address, subnet mask, gateway or DNS server IP address has to be assigned
manually. The assigned hostname can be used to access the receiver within the network. By default the hostname on the GR/GM
receiver is GRxxxxxxx or GMxxxxxxx, with “xxxxxxx” being the serial number of the GR/GM receiver.
Enter the web interface using an Administrator user account.
Go to Receiver Setup / Network Connections.
On the General tab enter a receiver hostname.
Tick the check box Obtain an IP address automatically.
Click on Save changes to save all settings.
These are the default settings. When you first access the receiver's web interface in a DHCP network, the
hostname can be used as described above without editing any settings. If the settings have been edited,
formatting the receiver settings will also bring back the described configuration.
Use a hostname to access an instrument with a static IP address
This procedure requires a DNS server in the network that the GR/GM receiver is connected to. As a result the assigned hostname can
be used to access the receiver within the network. If no DHCP server is available all network parameters have to be entered manually.
Please contact your network administrator to get valid parameters.
If no DHCP is available in the network the instrument is connected to, a static IP address must be used. This IP address can then be
associated with a hostname using a DNS server. The hostname can be manually configured on the instrument. By default the hostname
on the GR/GM receiver is GRxxxxxxx or GMxxxxxxx, with “xxxxxxx” being the serial number of the GR/GM receiver.
Enter the web interface using an Administrator user account.
Go to Receiver Setup / Network Connections.
On the General tab enter a receiver hostname.
Do not tick the check box Obtain an IP address automatically.
Enter valid values for IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
Enter valid values for preferred and alternate DynDNS servers.
Click on Save changes to save all settings.
Access the web interface for the first time and change the default user
This section explains using which user account the web interface can be accessed for the first time, how a new user account is created
and how the default user account is deleted.
When accessing the web interface for the first time the default administrator user account must be used.
On the Log in page use user name Admin and password 12345678.
Then go to page Receiver Setup / Access Management.
Use the Create new user button.
Type in a user name and password, confirm the password.
In the list box Web interface user level select Administrator.
In list box FTP server access choose Read / Write.
Use the Save changes button to save all settings.
If the password meets the password requirements the new user account will be saved and thus be shown in the
list of configured users.
To avoid unauthorized access it is recommended to delete the default user.
For this, log out from the web interface and log in now using the new user account.
Go to Receiver Setup / Access Management and use the Delete button to delete the default Admin user
account.
Confirm the deletion by clicking on the OK button. After this, the default user Admin will have been deleted.
