Chapter 3: Software & Web Setup (For Advanced User)
3.1. Introduction
IP Switch is designed to work without having to install any software (see hardware
setup above). However, for the advanced user, the unit can be customized and
configured for remote access. This gives the user further control over the power
ports.
There are two ways to remotely control the outlets (access from WAN);
a. Using DDNS and Port forwarding, see Section 3.3 or;
b. Using Google Talk/ Hangouts instant messaging tool, see Section 3.4.
3.2. How to Locate & Access IP Switch in LAN
IP Switch comes with a built-in Web User Interface (Web UI) that allows for more
advanced control over the unit. There are two ways of accessing the Web UI in LAN
(i.e. when both IP Switch and PC is connected to the same router)
.
1. Utility program (available for Windows only)
2. Use a fixed IP (when there’s no DHCP server).
*Note
–You can also use any LAN program to locate the WebUI URL for example:
Mac: LANscan
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lanscan/id472226235?mt=12
Windows: Wireshark or Angry IP Scanner
