EasyWeb 2.0 Guide 1: System Settings

System Settings

Overview

Easyweb 2.0 is a web interface that allows users to configure parameters of cMT X Series HMI. Additionally, with its WebView feature, users can monitor HMIs through a web browser. This user manual explains the cMT X Series HMI features that can be configured using Easyweb 2.0.

Ways to Log In Easyweb 2.0

Connect an HMI via an Ethernet cable, and log in system settings in one of the following ways:

  • Via Internet Browser
    • Open internet browser (Windows Edge, Chrome, or Firefox), and enter HMI’s IP address (e.g.: 192.168.2.121). The web page below opens. If WebView interface is shown after entering the IP address, please enter https://HMI_IP/admin to open Easyweb 2.0 system login page.
EasyWeb 2.0 main screen via a PC Browser window. Simply enter the IP address of the connected HMI in the broswer address bar.
  • Set on cMT Viewer devices
    • Launch cMT Viewer App, tap Search, select the HMI and tap Gear icon (Settings) to configure.

Easyweb 2.0 Login Identities

Three identity levels exist in Easyweb 2.0: [Admin], [Update], and [History]. [Admin] controls all the settings while [Update] controls limited items. For safety, specify a password before configuration. A password is needed for opening [History] settings, and the historical data can be backed up after logging in with password.

The default password is 111111. After successful login, the password for each identity level can be changed in [System Password] page.

EasyWeb system dashboard login page. You are prompted to enter a password (default is 111111)
