Connecting to the Web Interface Using the Discovery Tool
After the Conext ComBox is wired into and powered up on a LAN, it will exist as a
LAN device at an IP address. The following procedure describes how to find the
Conext ComBox LAN address using the Discovery Tool.
To find the Conext ComBox on your network:
1. Download the Discovery Tool from the website:
http://xantrex.com/power-products/default/conext-combox-freedomsw
2. Temporarily disable all antivirus software including firewall protection
software running in the background.
3. Open the Device Discovery Tool folder.
4. Double-click ConextComBoxLocator.jar.
This tool requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you see a message
about this, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp to download and
install JRE.
5. In the list that appears, click the Web Address for the Conext ComBox
(cb-XXXX where XXXX is a factory- assigned number).
If a web browser opens up, you will see the Conext ComBox user interface
Login window. Go to the next step.
The default value of the Web Server Port is 80. For example, if you change
this value to 8080, you must append the URL address with “:8080” at the end
of the IP address (e.g. http://10.167.73.66:8080).
If a web browser window does not open:
Note the Web Address for the Conext ComBox.
Open a web browser.
Enter the Conext ComBox Web Address in the URL field.
Press Enter on the keyboard. The Conext ComBox web interface Login
window appears.
