Notes:
• The PCPro software provides a Help system if you experience difficulty in using the program. Simply press the
‘F1’ key.
Using WebPro
The WebPro software is installed on the Aspila EX NTCPU PCB - there is no separate software installation. This means that
when the Aspila EX system software is updated, the WebPro software is updated as well.
3. When the connection to the system is made, you’ll see the opening page requesting a user name and password. The default
settings are:
User Name Password
ASPIRE 12345678 (Installer Level)
ADMIN1 0000 (SA Level)
ADMIN2 9999 (SB Level)
Notes:
• The WebPro software provides a Help system if you experience difficulty in using the program. Simply press the
‘F1’ key.
• When accessing via remote dial up, USB or Serial the screen refresh will be much slower than a Local LAN con-
nection.
