9.4 Connection to the GD Connect 12
The module is connected to the GD Connect 12 via the
built-in RS485 interface.
The Webserver module will be delivered with a 3 wire
connection cable (1m).
This will be connected to the RS485-3 of the GD
Connect 12.
For longer distances, the cable should be removed and
an appropriate cable is to create.
The wiring diagram that shows how to connect the
RS485 interface to the GD Connect 12 can be found in
the annex.
After the connection of the Webserver module, the
RS485-3 interface of the GD Connect 12 has to be
adjusted to enable the communication to the GD
Connect 12.
There, in the menu "Adjustments GD Connect 12" –
"RS485 interface" the menu item "Protocol/module" has
to be adjust to "Webserver module".
9.5 Connection to the net work
The Webserver module will be delivered with an
installed Ethernet connection cable (Cat.5E, Type
100Base-TX, 3m).
When installing this cable, it is necessary to ensure that
it is not bent or stretched and the shield and the locking
lugs of the plug are not damaged.
For longer distances, the cable should be removed and
an appropriate cable is to create.
To ensure the continued water protection, the cable
must be leaded through a suitable M20 gland before the
assembly.
9.6 Access via browser
Within the Webserver module a HTTP-Server is
integrated which can be accessed via web browser.
Suitable are (inter alia) the current versions of
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Also the Adobe Flash Player has to be installed (version
9.0 or higher). It is to find for the appropriate web
browser and for the appropriate operating system
either onto the CD, which will be delivered with the
GD Connect 12
or in the internet.
9.7 Configuration
For the first configuration of the Webserver module a
fixed IP address can be forced.
Therefore the DIP switches 1 and 2 must be set to „On“
and then the module must be reboot.
After this, the module is accessible at the IP address
„192.168.2.1“ and can be reconfigured.
The following parameters can be adjusted:
Hostname
Switch on and off the usage of DHCP
IP address
Netmask
Gateway
DNS server
After the configuration, the DIP switches can be reset
and the module must be reboot
.
