Delete the viewON files
To delete these files, connect to the Ewon over FTP. Windows File Explorer supports FTP by default, so this is a good option for those that don't already have an FTP client. For an Ewon with the IP 10.0.0.53, connect to ftp://10.0.0.53/ in File Explorer.
- Enter the Ewon's address in the FTP client or File Explorer

- Enter the Ewon's login details (default adm/adm)

- If using File Explorer, a second window may open with no files visible. Close this and switch to the window that shows a list of the Ewon's files

Change the Ewon's homepage
If the viewON dashboard was set as the Ewon's homepage, navigating to the Ewon's IP in a browser will now show an error.
- Go to 10.0.0.53/index.shtm to reach the Ewon's configuration page
-
Navigate to Setup -> System -> Main -> General -> Identification
