Note: Ad-Hoc Mode is typically used for set-up, but may be used for permanent use.
1. Make note of current computer IP settings and restore settings when finished. If you are unsure of settings, contact your network administrator.
2. Change TCP/IP settings of the computer to connect to the Wifi-RIB® as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.100.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.1
3. Connect and apply power to the Wifi-RIB® (24Vac or 24Vdc recommended for setup to avoid Line Voltage wiring; all settings will be maintained when power is removed).
The green Device Status LED will flash at a rate of once per second and the green Ad-Hoc Status LED will stay lit while in Ad-Hoc Mode, yellow Infrastructure Status LED will
remain off while in Ad-Hoc Mode (see Device LEDs for other LED indications).
4. View wireless connections on the computer. Look for the network called “WRIBXV” and connect. This establishes a connection between the Wifi-RIB® and the computer in
an Ad-Hoc network.
5. In any Internet web browser such as Safari®, Firefox®, or Internet Explorer®, type in the default factory address of 192.168.100.10 and press enter.
Wifi RIB
®
– Getting Started
In the web browser window, you should see the Wifi-RIB® main web page. You will be able to control the relay and read status. To change the state of the relay, click the “on”
or “off” button and click “Set Relay”. At the bottom of the page you can see: status of relay, last command, digital Input, load current value, load current threshold setting, load
current above/below threshold status, load voltage setting, and estimated power consumed by load.

Note: Settings can be viewed on Main Page status or in the xml status read outside the web page.
1. Change the RIB default IP address, port number, subnet mask, or gateway if desired – click save after each setting.
Note: The Wifi-RIB® ships from the factory with a default IP address of 192.168.100.10, default gateway of 192.168.100.1, and default subnet mask of 255.255.255.224, and
has a unique MAC address for use on the internet or on an internal intranet or network. If at anytime an incorrect address is used or address is forgotten, the Wifi-RIB® may be
returned to factory defaults by pressing the RESET pushbutton on the Wifi-RIB® until the Device Status LED flashes fast (approx. 5 seconds).
2. Set “Device Name” and click save. Set “Device Location” and click save. (Up to 16 characters.)
3. “Current Threshold” is set to determine at what load amperage the “Load Current Status” changes between “On” and “Off”. (Status useful as independent load verification or
logic control in automation systems.)
4. “Load Voltage” is used in calculating the power reading. Determine the load voltage by reading actual voltage or by estimating, 120, 208, 240, or 277 for example. If
the Power Factor is known and is less than 1, it may be calculated into the voltage if desired. For example, a PF of .7 to .8 is common for motors. 120V x .8 = 96, use 96 as
the voltage.
5. “Default Relay Setting” determines the state to which the relay will default upon return from deliberate power-cycle or due to power loss. Make selection for relay to come
on, stay off, or return to last commanded state. After power-up, the relay will follow commanded states if communications are restored.
6. “Digital Input/Relay Binding” allows the relay to be controlled from the Dry-Contact Digital Input if desired. If bound, the relay will follow the state of the Digital Input
(a typical application is a motion-detector controlling the relay that controls room occupancy, status is monitored by Wifi). If unbound, the Digital Input may be used as a
general-purpose status input or otherwise (independent of relay).
