How the juiceboss system works
------------------------------

While most users will control the device from the juiceboss.com website,
each juiceboss device runs a small web server that you can use to
control it directly from the local network:

.. _finding:

Finding the address of the juiceboss unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. index:: DHCP, IP address, address

On power up, the juiceboss unit tries to get an address via DHCP.
There are a couple of ways of finding its address.  First is to log into
your router then look at its DHCP table for the entry that corresponds
to your juiceboss unit.  Many DHCP servers allow you to "lock" a specific
device to a fixed address; by doing this you can hard-code the juiceboss
unit's address on the network.

.. index:: server, juiceboss.com

The second way uses the juiceboss.com site - since the juiceboss unit
connects to juiceboss.com on power-up, the juiceboss.com servers know
the local IP address.  You can find this local address using a URL like
this one, with the seven-digit code that is printed on top of your
juiceboss unit.

http://juiceboss.com/ip/555-0001

this will return the *local* IP address of the juiceboss unit, e.g.::

    192.168.0.101

Using the local web interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. index:: browser, web page

You can log in to a juiceboss unit on the local network
using a web browser.  Find the juiceboss device address (see
:ref:`finding`), then type that address into your browser, for example
``http://192.168.0.101/``.

.. index:: authentication, password

Juiceboss devices have a fixed password: the number that is printed on
the top of the box.  Log in in with an id of ``admin`` and the number
(including the dash) printed on top of the box, for example ``555-0001``.
