Using Your Device

Displaying the Home Page of the Device

Note:

You can display the home page only when your device is turned on and you have established a

connection to it (through Wi-Fi or through the micro-USB cable).

To display the home page, type one of the following in the address bar of your Web browser:

●

http://OverdrivePro

●

http://192.168.0.1

●

SSID

value (field in

Advanced settings > Wi-Fi > Network

and also in

Advanced settings >

Router > LAN

)

Note:

If you’re using the Google Chrome Web browser, after typing in the address bar, press the Down

Arrow key and then the Enter key. (If you press only the Enter key, a Google search is started, using

the information you typed in.)

If your Web browser displays an error message, see “Cannot Display the Home Page” on

page 134.

Logging On as an Administrator

You don’t need to log in to access and use the home page. When you log in:

●

Additional information appears in the window that opens when you click an item on the left side

of the home page. (See “Icons and Text” on page 42.)

●

You can access the

Advanced Settings

window, where you can modify additional settings.

●

You can rerun the device setup, if required (

Admin Setup

[

]).

●

You can install updates.

To log in:

1.

Make sure that nobody else is already logged in — other people can use the home page at

the same time, but only one user can be logged in.

2.

In the

Admin Login

section (in the upper left area of the home page), enter the administrator

password (1–20 characters or numbers). (The default password is “password.” It’s

recommended you change the password, if you haven’t already.)

3.

Click

OK

.

After a period of inactivity, you will be automatically logged off (timeout security feature), unless

you select

Remember me

(below the password field). (For more information, see “Automatic Login

(“Remember Me”)” on page 75.)

Virtual Device

The right half of the home page contains an image of your device.

This is a “virtual device” — it reflects most of the icons and text displayed on the real device.

Mini Window

If you click the virtual device in the home page, the Mini Window opens — an image of the device in a

separate Web browser window

.

Similar to the virtual device, the Mini Window reflects most of the icons and text displayed on the real

device.
