CONNECTING TO THE WEBUI

SECTION 1
1.0

GENERAL INFORMATION

The GCP Display (A80485-1) and CPU III (A8903) modules provide a Web User Interface (WebUI) which
enables the user to configure the GCP locally as well as remotely through the Laptop/Ethernet Port (RJ-
45) on the front of the Display Module, and the Laptop/Ethernet port on the front of the CPU III module.
The Display Laptop Port default protocol is set as DHCP Server. The CPU III will default to operating as
a Server as well. If the GCP is to be connected to a network, however, the Display and/or CPU III will
need to be configured as a Client.
The default IP address for the Display from the factory is https://192.168.255.81. The CPU III will display
an IP address scrolling across the four-character display. This can be accessed by using the Select
(SEL) button to move between the scrolling displayed text.
The WebUI uses the HTTP Secure (https) protocol. The Display and CPU III DHCP Server protocol will
assign the laptop an IP address to enable connection to the GCP.
The Display and CPU III support the following web browsers:
IE 10 and 11 or newer
Firefox (version 46.x) or newer
Chrome (version 55.x) or newer
The WebUI menus covered in this quick guide are the ones shown on the
Display WebUI. There are some differences between those and the menus
seen on the CPU III WebUI. These differences are noted in section 8.0.
