232-ATSC 4K and ATSC-SDI 4i Password Guide
Web Page Password Protection Overview
The 232-ATSC 4K and the ATSC-SDI 4i have on-board web pages for control, monitoring, and configuration. The web pages may be accessed by a web browser by entering the unit’s IP address in the browser’s address field. The web pages may also be accessed through CR Toolbox by double-clicking on a tuner in the equipment list.
Beginning with Application firmware v2.47, access to the on-board web pages will be password protected by default. Password protected access to the web pages may be disabled by clearing the password. An option is also available to allow free access to the Control web page while requiring a password to access the web pages related to configuration and setup.
For increased security when password protection of the web pages is desired, it is recommended to lock out the Setup button on the front panel of the tuner.

Default Password
The default password is based on the last six digits of the unit’s MAC address. The MAC address may be found on the SN/MAC sticker on the rear of the tuner or using the front panel LCD menu under Network Setup. The Network Setup menu is accessed by pressing the Setup button on the front panel. The MAC address will also be displayed for tuners discovered in CR Toolbox.
When the web page is first accessed, the browser will be directed to the login page. Enter the last six digits of the MAC address in the password field, then click the Log In button. The digits should be entered with no punctuation or spaces. Letters should be entered as upper case. i.e.: 14BC12
Update Password
The password can be updated in the System web page. Enter the new password in the New Password field and click the Change button. The password may consist of up to 20 characters. The characters can be any combination of numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and special characters.
Clear the Password
Clearing the password will allow password free access to the tuner’s web pages.
The password may be cleared in the System web page. Clear the contents of the New Password field and click the Change button.
The password may also be cleared in the tuner’s front panel Setup menu. Press the Setup button and navigate to the Network Setup menu. Scroll up or down until Clear Network Password is displayed. Press the Select button to clear the password.
Allow Free Access to Control Web Page

If this option is enabled, a Tuner Control button will appear on the log-in page. Clicking on the Tuner Control button will navigate to the Control web page without entering a password. Log in will be required to navigate to any other web page.
