Section 4:  Configuration and Setup

4.1   Setup Example 

The Quick Start Demo

After making the power and Ethernet connections, the X-600M can automatically scan for the presence 
of any ControlByWeb™ Ethernet devices (on the same sub-net) and also for any expansion modules 
connected to the X-600M via the ribbon-cable connector. It can also automatically create a dashboard 
web page and populate it with all of the resources (components) supported by the Ethernet devices and 
expansion modules if specified while adding the device. This makes it easy to start experimenting with 
the web page's user interface and to try out the relays.

To quickly add a device do the following:

1. Click on the 

Devices

 menu tab to pull up the 

Devices Overview

 page. Then click on the 

Find New 

Devices

 button to scan the expansion bus and the local network for ControlByWeb devices and 

expansion modules.
