2 Station Conguration
2.1 Logging into the Turbine Station
The Turbine Station features an embedded web interface
which allows users to log in via a standard web browser.
To do this, your PC and the Turbine IP station have to be
connected together via a PoE switch using network cables:
1. Connect the PC to the PoE switch
2. Connect the PoE port on the station to the PoE switch
When the Turbine Station is connected to the network, the IP
address of the station is automatically obtained in one of two
ways:
1. IP address obtained from a DHCP server
2. If there is no DHCP server, an IP address in the range
169.254.x.x will be assigned.
To make the station speak its IP address:
● Press the call button on the station
- when the station is not yet registered
Access the station by logging into the web interface using a
standard web browser:
1. Open a web browser
2. In the browser’s address bar, type the station IP address
and press the ENTER key
- The station login page will be displayed.
