Connecting to Web Interface

To connect to the WebGUI of the base station, you need to connect to the local network of the base station.

Here are the tabs with the default, factory-set, network settings:

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi

• Enabled
• Access Point option set
• SSID - Name of the Aranet base
• IP address - 192.168.206.100
• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0

Ethernet

LTE

If you choose to connect to the Access Point of the base station, then please look up the password of your base station's SSID, which is located on the sticker on your base station.

Next, you have to locate your base station's SSID for the connection attempt. By default, it is displayed like this: Aranet-5e63aa (last 5 digits are unique for each base station).

After you have located yours, click on it, and enter the password from the sticker, after that you should remain connected to the base station.

After a successful connection, head to the WiFi IP address from the sticker: 192.168.206.100

After entering the local IP address, you should see a window like this:

To enter the WebGUI, please enter the username from the sticker, which is root, and the same password as for the Wi-Fi.

Root is an administrator account. For security reasons, we recommend changing the password as soon as possible.

We also recommend creating separate accounts for users as required. There are two levels (groups) of access: user and administrator. User group accounts have read-only permissions, can only view parameters, and can subscribe to notifications. The total account limit is 20 (including the root account).

If you are a user of a much older base station type and don't have a password on the back, then please try the following:

• Username: root
• Password: changeme

After that, you will see the WebGUI's Sensors page.

Ethernet connection

To get access to WebGUI via Ethernet connection, you need to connect locally to your laptop or PC using ethernet cable (which is included in the package, see: Pro Plus Base Station topic).

As you connect, you will need to configure the Ethernet connection settings to create a successful connection with the base station.

Please plug one side of the cable into the base station and the other into your device.

Then head to Ethernet settings on your device.

Then click on edit and fill same settings as below:

Ethernet connection settings

• Settings type: Manual
• IPv4: On
• IP address: 192.168.205.99
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.205.100
• Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8

After you have filled connection settings, click on the Save button, and the connection should be established.

If you see the message: Action needed, then press the Edit button and then Save, that should fix the issue.

As soon as the connection is established, you can type the Ethernet IP into the browser and access WebGUI.

After a successful connection, head to the same Ethernet IP address as in Ethernet connection settings: 192.168.205.100
