Open the web interface over Ethernet
Ethernet gives you access to the web interface on your show network. It is the usual route when FrenschPress is already on the LAN.
Factory defaults
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Addressing | Static IP |
| IP address | 192.168.1.10 |
| Subnet mask | 255.255.255.0 |
| Hostname | frenschpress.local |
Open the web interface
- Connect FrenschPress to your network over Ethernet.
- Put your computer on the same subnet. With the factory settings, for example, use the unused address
192.168.1.20with mask255.255.255.0. Every address must be unique on the network. - Open http://frenschpress.local in a browser.
- If name resolution fails, open http://192.168.1.10.
If you changed the address earlier, use the saved or DHCP-assigned address instead.
Switching DHCP / static IP
The setting is under Settings → Ethernet Settings. DHCP requires a DHCP server on the network.
Set a fixed address:
- Turn Use DHCP off.
- Choose Manual IP Settings → Open.
- Enter IP, subnet, gateway and DNS.
- Choose Apply. FrenschPress saves the address and restarts immediately.
Switch to DHCP: turn Use DHCP on and choose Save Settings.
On the device: hold the encoder, press PAUSE, then release both. This switches DHCP for Ethernet. The LEDs flash green to confirm. An address change can interrupt the browser connection.
If the device cannot be reached
| Symptom | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| No connection at all | No power or no link | Check power, Ethernet cable and link |
| Address does not respond | Computer and FrenschPress on different subnets | Set your computer's address to match FrenschPress |
| Address unknown | DHCP is active | Look up the assigned address on your network (e.g. on the DHCP server) |
| Reachable only intermittently | Several FrenschPress units share one static address | Give each unit its own address |
If you are still stuck, open the web interface over the access point and check the saved network settings there.
