10. Web Interface Readings and Parameter Settings

The L-WEB module supports the HTTPS protocol to allow users to access the meters web 
interface. The user will need to access the L-WEB web interface to configure the module 
and to further use its functions. The web interface allows for remote initial setup of the 
Acuvim L meter.

The L-WEB web interface allows for different user access levels.

10.1 User Access Login

Enter the correct IP address of the module in the search bar of the internet browser to 
access the web interface of the L-WEB.

NOTE: The recommend internet browser for the L-WEB is either Google Chrome or 
Firefox.

The user will be redirected to a login web page where users will have to enter in the 
Access Level and enter appropriate password for that level.

The 

User access level is ideal for users who need only to take readings and view status 

from the meter.

The default password for the User level is 

view.

It is recommended that no more than 5 users are logged in at the same time for this 
level to ensure optimal performance of web interface.

The 

Admin access level is ideal for users who need access to configurations on the 

meter, the web interface and to view readings.

The default password for the Admin level is 

admin.

The L-WEB web interface will only allow one admin to be logged in at a time. If anoth-
er user logs in at this access level, the previous user will be logged out.
