Web configuration panel of the Raspberry Pi server

Guide to the web interface menus of the Ilevia server on Raspberry Pi: connection, login, diagnostics, utility, network, date and time, password.

The web configuration panel lets you manage the Ilevia server on Raspberry Pi: diagnostics, updates, network, date and time, password, and server name. This guide explains how to access it and what each menu is for.

Connection and configuration

Step 1: connect to the main page

Open the web browser and enter the IP address of your server in the URL bar. If you do not know your server's IP address, click this link to find it.

Troubleshooting:

– If the browser does not open the page, check the device connection and make sure it is on the same network.

– If you have moved the Raspberry Pi outside your local network, you can search for its new IP address using an online network scanning software such as IP scan. If you cannot find it, try restarting the device by disconnecting and reconnecting power. If this still does not solve the problem, you will need to format the SD card: follow this guide for the complete procedure.

Step 2: login

Once connected to the Raspberry server login page, enter your credentials in the dedicated section.

Note. The default password is "password": we recommend changing it once the project has been defined (see the "User management" guide).

Step 5: Utility menu

The Utility menu lets you check whether updates are available, download them, and install them on your Ilevia server. It also allows you to restore the server database, start and stop the Ilevia services, and restart the device. Click this link to consult the Ilevia server firmware update guide.

Step 6: Ports menu

In this menu you can view all network ports used by the Ilevia server, with their descriptions.

Step 7: Vivaldi discovery menu

In the Vivaldi discovery menu you can search for Vivaldi devices present on your local network. By clicking the "Start discovery" button, the Ilevia server starts the search.

Step 8: Info menu

In the Info menu you can find information about your Ilevia server: the license, the license status (licensed/not licensed), the operating system and Logiche module versions, the server name, and the current date and time.

Step 9: Settings menu

In the Settings menu you can change the administrator password, set the network configuration, the time zone and time, and change the identifying name of the Ilevia server. The following steps describe these submenus.

Step 10: network settings

Click the "Network" menu: it is used to change or set the IP address of the Ilevia server on your network. To set a static IP address, clear the "Use DHCP" check box, then enter the desired IP address in the "IP address" text field. To save, click the "Apply changes" button. The server will ask to be restarted, after which the settings will be applied.

Step 11: time zone, date and time

These are the date and time settings. It is very important to set them correctly, because the server uses them for Timers and for running specific scenes.

In the NTP server section there is a list of default servers to which the Ilevia server connects to update date and time. Remember to save the settings by clicking the "Apply changes" button.

Step 12: how to change the administrator password

To change the administrator password, go to the "Administrator Password" menu, enter the password currently set on the Ilevia server, then enter the new password in the "New password" field and confirm it in the "Confirm password" field. The Ilevia server will require a restart to apply the new settings.

Step 13: General menu

Go to the "General" menu: you will find a text field where you can enter the name by which the Ilevia server is identified in the system. After changing the name, the server will require a restart to apply the change.
