Open the web interface over the access point

The built-in setup access point connects your computer or phone directly to FrenschPress over WiFi. Use it when you do not know the Ethernet address or have no LAN available.

Enable the access point

1. Hold encoder push + STOP for about five seconds. The LEDs light magenta: configuration mode is active.
2. In your computer's or phone's WiFi settings, choose the FrenschPress_Config network and enter the password.
3. Open http://192.168.4.1 in a browser. You can also try http://frenschpress.local.

Factory default	Value
SSID	FrenschPress_Config
Password	12345678
Web interface	http://192.168.4.1

If your computer or phone warns that this network has no internet, stay connected to it for setup.

Change the password

Replace the default password

Change the password 12345678 before you use FrenschPress in production.

1. Open Settings → AP Password → Change.
2. Set your own password.
3. Write it down before you disconnect from the WiFi network.

The AP password only protects the WiFi connection. The web interface account is separate; see Set up your account. Next, set up Ethernet or WiFi for your show network in Settings.
