Connecting via Wi-Fi Access Point​

When the BB-400 has no network connectivity, it automatically enables its Wi-Fi access point mode, indicated by the flashing Wi-Fi Link and Web LEDs.

  1. On your computer or mobile device, scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
  2. Connect to the network named "BB-400-XXXX" where XXXX is the last four characters of the device MAC address.
  3. Open a web browser and navigate to https://192.168.127.2:9090
  4. Accept the security certificate warning (the connection is encrypted but uses a self-signed certificate).
  5. Log in using username "bb" and the default password (last 4 digits of MAC address).

Connecting via Ethernet​

If the UPLINK port is connected to a network with DHCP, the BB-400 will automatically obtain an IP address.

  1. Connect the UPLINK port to your network.
  2. Check your DHCP server or router for the assigned IP address, or use the hostname "bb400-XXXX".
  3. Navigate to https://[IP-ADDRESS]:9090 or https://bb400-XXXX:9090
