# 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:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="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

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/CnYehtx7chJfxr38WoOG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Ethernet" %}
Ethernet

* DHCP client
* Static IP fallback - ON
* IP address - 192.168.205.100
* Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="LTE" %}
LTE

{% hint style="info" %}
These settings are set only in the Aranet Pro Plus LTE base station model.
{% endhint %}

* Disabled
* APN - onomondo
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

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).

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/6e6xf37TxEh15N4fB2Dj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

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.

{% hint style="success" %}
After a successful connection, head to the WiFi IP address from the sticker: 192.168.206.100
{% endhint %}

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

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/cFzxmJH2NuCVgshr1Anl" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

To enter the WebGUI, please enter the username from the sticker, which is *root*, and the same password as for the Wi-Fi.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
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).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
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
  {% endhint %}

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

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/ASKVCOEaZQZU4yyaDlqE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### 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](/base-stations/base-stations/base-overview/pro-plus-base-station.md) 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.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/wejnPAIfekLzHuegXrYS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then click on edit and fill same settings as below:

<details>

<summary>Ethernet connection settings</summary>

* 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

</details>

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

{% hint style="info" %}
If you see the message: Action needed, then press the Edit button and then Save, that should fix the issue.
{% endhint %}

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

{% hint style="success" %}
After a successful connection, head to the same Ethernet IP address as in Ethernet connection settings: 192.168.205.100
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aranet.com/base-stations/base-stations/web-interface/connecting-to-web-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
