13 The Web Server
13.1 Safety in the Web Server
In the web server, a default-password is assigned for the administrator access (see also Change
Admin Password, page 119).
In order to make misuse by third parties more difficult, it can be necessary to change the password.
This should be done in the context of the network security concept for the complete facility in which
the modules are placed.
13.1.1 Web Server Logout
In order to disconnect a logged in user/PC with administrator rights from the web server, a logout
is necessary.
If only the web browser is closed, the last active access is reactivated when opening the web server
again from the same PC, which means, possibly with all administrator rights.
13.2 IP Address
In the delivery status, neither an IP address nor a PROFINET name is stored into the devices.
In order to be able to access the device via web server, the web server can be opened using the IP
address 192.168.1.254.
If the PC used for the configuration is part of the same IP network, the page
http://192.168.1.254
can be opened in order to initially change some settings.
