Web user interface

For data loggers with an IP connection, the built-in web user interface (web UI) provides browser access to real-time and stored data, files, settings, and more. No remote browser access is available until at least one user account is configured. Use an RNDIS connection to set up the first account. See Virtual Ethernet over USB (RNDIS) for more information.

Once a user account is configured, enter the CR350 IP address into a web browser. By default, it is 192.168.66.1 for an RNDIS connection.

NOTE:

Ethernet over USB (RNDIS) is considered a direct communications connection. Therefore, it is a trusted connection and Administrator privileges are automatically granted for all functionality.

Use Manage Accounts  to set permissions to access web UI features. Once a New Account is setup, basic access authentication is enabled in the data logger. Multiple user accounts with differing levels of access can be defined for one data logger. Four levels of access are available:

  • Anonymous: Read-only access. This account cannot be removed, but privileges can be disabled.

  • Read Only: Data collection is unrestricted. Clock and writable variables cannot be changed. Programs cannot be viewed, stopped, deleted, or retrieved.

  • Read/Write: Data collection is unrestricted. Clock and writable variables can be changed. Programs cannot be viewed, stopped, deleted, or retrieved.

  • All (Administrator): Data collection is unrestricted. Clock, writable variables, and settings can be changed. Programs can be viewed, stopped, deleted, and retrieved. Hidden tables can be viewed. Files, including programs can be sent to the data logger.

NOTE:

The default account is read-only with a user name of anonymous and no password. No Administrator (All) accounts are setup by default for security reasons. User accounts must be changed manually; they are not restored by resetting the data logger to factory defaults. See Resetting the data logger for more information.
