Quoting from "Development Tool Operating Instructions", Chapter 2: Preparation to use the unit To set up To start up Administration Tool After checking the setting information on your TV, start up the Administration Tool. Start up the WWW browser of your development PC. Open http://192.168.0.10/english/. The main screen of the Administration Tool appears. Not many, besides everyone who has ever used such a unit for daily work. The Tool uses an Apache server, which has its own user database. Search for htpasswd or something like that.
