WebSwitch Installation and Operation Manual
SETUP
2.1.1 Network Connection
Connect the Ethernet port to a 10base-T or 10/100base-T Ethernet connection. Note
that by default,
WebSwitch™
is configured for a 10 Base T network but can be
changed to 100 Base T during setup. This typically connects to an Ethernet hub,
switch, or router. For configuration,
WebSwitch™
may be connected directly to the
Ethernet port on a computer using a “crossover” cable. Otherwise for connection
through a hub or router, a standard “straight-thru” cable should be used. Once con-
nected to the network and power is applied, the green Link LED on the Ethernet con-
nector illuminates which indicated proper connection. If the Link LED does not illu-
minate, communications with
WebSwitch™
cannot occur. Verify that the proper
cable is being used (straight-thru or crossover), try a different cable or connect to
different hub/switch devices.
2.1.2 Power Connection
Connect the power input of
WebSwitch™
to a 120VAC power source.
2.1.3 Output Connection
Connect one or both of the outlets on
WebSwitch™
(Out1 and/or Out2) to device(s)
to be controlled.
2.2 Establishing Communications for Setup
WebSwitch™
is set up using a web browser. The first step is to establish commu-
nications between a computer and
WebSwitch™
so that the browser-based config-
uration can begin. To do this, the computer and
WebSwitch™
must be physically
connected to the same network and both must have IP addresses on the same net-
work. The preferred way to set up the computer and
WebSwitch™
so that they are
on the same network is to change the IP address of the computer to an address that
is on the same network that
WebSwitch™
is set to by default.
Instructions for changing the IP address of the computer that will be used for
WebSwitch™
configuration are given here. Note that these instructions are specif-
ically for computers with the Windows XP operating system. For setup using other
operating systems, refer to the appropriate OS users manual.
