Connecting to the Web Portal

The process of connecting to the web portal for LiteOn stations follows these general steps:

1. Establishing a connection to the station
   • The method to connect to your station varies by model, with ethernet being the most common.
   • Ensuring your device is configured with DHCP.
2. Navigating to the web portal in your preferred web browser
   • The login credentials are the same between models, however the web portal URL address can vary by model, station, and connection method.

Device Configuration

LiteOn supports DHCP connections which is set by default for most devices. Ensure your TCP/IP settings on your computer are configured for automated IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Connecting from your Device to the Station

You can connect via ethernet most commonly, or via Wi-Fi with the AC19L. The steps for connecting with those stations are covered in more detail below. Please exercise caution during the process, and power the station off when interacting with the internals.

NOTES:

• Your device may notify you that this connection has no internet, this is intended as your connection is only local.

Web Portal URL address

Once you have successfully connected to the station, you will need to find the correct URL address to access the web portal with.

• NOTES:
  
  • You may be prompted with a warning from your browser that this connection is not secure, this is intended as the web portal is hosted by the station locally. To continue you may need to expand your options by selecting Advanced and/or Proceed depending on your browser.

Login Credentials

You will be prompted to enter the login credentials as seen below- these are the same across LiteOn models.

AC7L / AC7LC Web Portal Connection - Ethernet

AC7L / AC7LC stations only support ethernet connections for the web portal. Open a web browser and enter the following IP address:

• 192.168.100.1 for most Network Modes, or
• 192.168.199.1 If Network Mode is Gateway and Group Use External
  Gateway is No.

AC19L Web Portal Connection - Wireless

Every AC19L station should broadcast it's serial number as a Wi-Fi source. If you do not see a Wi-Fi signal matching the serial number for the station you plan to work on, attempt rebooting the station- if the issue persists move on to the ethernet method.

Connect to the Wi-Fi source the station is broadcasting. The Wi-Fi name and password are based on the serial number of the unit, which can be found on a sticker on the right hand side of the station. The Wi-Fi name will be "IC80A"+the serial number and the default password will be the serial number+"@IC80A”.

For example, if the model serial number is:

• EX-1193-1A13-1-1234-2444

The SSID name would be:

• IC80AEX-1193-1A13-1-1234-2444

And the password would be:

• EX-1193-1A13-1-1234-2444@IC80A.

NOTE:

• The name and password are both case sensitive, so it is recommended to type the serial number down and copy / paste it as necessary to avoid small errors.

AC19L Web Portal Connection - Ethernet / RS232

The IP address used to connect to the web portal varies by station for the ethernet method, and requires a USB to RS232 serial connection and a third party SSH program to identify. For this example, we will be using TeraTerm. This is covered in section 5.1.2 / page 31 in the user manual.

Identifying the IP

1. Connect the station to your device using the USB to RS232 connector as seen below.
   
2. After connecting the two, launch TeraTerm. You should see the login screen seen below:
   
3. Go to Setup > Serial Port > Modify Speed to 115200 and press OK.
   
4. Once you have configured those options, you should be able to login. In the terminal enter the following credentials:
   • Username: user
   • Password: user123USER123
   • NOTE: You may not be prompted to enter these credentials, but if you enter them correctly it
     should refresh.
     
5. Enter the command ifconfig. You will take the IP address listed under inet addr as seen below, and this will be the web portal URL address used for the ethernet connection. There may be multiple lines returned under different names like eth0, and eth0:0 like seen below, so double check you grab the right one if you have issues getting connected.
