Configuration 🔗︎

To prepare the MDE units for productive operation for the first time, a setup file is required which can be downloaded directly from DATACAP. This file makes some useful settings on the MDE device. This only requires the MDE device to have been set up already in the network.

To download the setup file, the web browser must first be opened on the start screen. To do this, please choose the Internet Explorer.

Then enter the URL https://IP-Adresse:8082/setup/ in the address bar. Replace IP address by the IP address of the server DATACAP has been installed on.

A screen view with general information and various setting options opens. At the end of the page you will find the menu item Create startup file, which is to be selected. To get to the menu item please scroll down by clicking anywhere on the page and dragging the cursor upwards.

On the screen view that opens, select the environment which is to be selected automatically when opening the web browser.

The following dialogue opens, which needs to be confirmed with the Save button.

It is now necessary to specify the storage location for the file. The storage location must be the folder Application, since all settings are read from here after a cold start. Navigate to the folder and save the file using the OK button.

After a successful download, the file is located in the Application directory.
