FIRST CONNECTION AND CONFIGURATION

The WS4 does not have default IP address. By default is set to DHCP. There are 2 
methods to connect to and configure WS4 - LAN and Standalone method.

If you can not connect, it is because your network does not recognize the name of the 
WS4 controller. In this case, go to our web site http://www.xprgroup.com/products/ws4/ 
and download the tool called “Device Finder”.
The “Device Finder” will enable you to find out the IP address of the WS4 controller.
Run the “Device Finder” and you will get a list of all the WS4 controllers connected in 
your network, including their IP addresses, just like the picture below.

1. Put the DIP switch 1 in position OFF.
2. Connect a cable from your network to the ethernet connector of Ws4.
3. Open a web browser and enter http://ws4 followed dash and the serial number of 
the WS4 controller

METHOD 1

 

(For use in a home or business LAN network)

Open a browser and type the IP of the WS4 controller and you will be prompted to the 
login page.
User Name: 

admin

Password: 

WS4 

followed by

 Dash 

and the

 Serial Number

 (ex. 

WS4-110034

) just like the 

image below, all in capital letters without space.

WS4-110034

In this configuration, the network’s DHCP server will assign an IP address to your WS4

METHOD 2

 

(For standalone use - without LAN network)

In this configuration, the WS4 will assign an IP address to your PC. The PC must be set to obtain IP 
address automatically.

WS4 system can manage up to 10 WS4 boards in the same installation (with up to 20 
doors, whether single or double). One WS4 must be master, the others must be 
slaves. The
