7. Operating
7.1 Initial configuration
All modules leave the factory with this control Ethernet interface IP address: 192.168.1.10. In order to avoid conflicts with
other IP addresses, it is necessary to perform an initial configuration in local mode. Subsequently, it will be possible to access
the modules via the local area network (LAN), either to re-programme it or to check is operating status.
The modules leave the factory with the following Control Ethernet interface TCP/IP configuration:
IP address of the module
:
192.168.1.10
Subnet mask
:
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway
:
192.168.1.1
To access each module, use a PC or MAC personal computer equipped with an Ethernet
card and RJ-45 cable (CAT-5E or CAT-6). The IP address of the PC/MAC must be configured
within the following range: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254 (do not use 192.168.1.10, since this is
the IP address of the module to be configured). To start the configuration of the module, open
your web browser and type in the following direction: http://192.168.1.10. The login prompt
will appear on the screen (see Figure 6.). Module can be controlled using any web browser.
The exception is Internet Explorer, which must be 10.0 version or higher.

as explained on section
7.5
.
Control interface IP address reset to default procedure: press the "RESET" [7] button (Figure 1) for more than 3 seconds and
release it. After this operation the control interface IP address will be set to
192.168.1.10
, user name and password set to
admin
.
7.2 General configuration
Initial program screen
The first screen that appears when the module accessed contains the "Main" window, which gives general information
on the device.

the device when the file was sent to the device. New firmware will be programmed into the device only after restart. It may
take additional minute or more to flash new program. Device will start up with a new firmware and continue to operate with
previous parameters. Additional new firmware features (if any) may need to setup additionally to take effect.
Avoid power supply interruption when a programming process is going on.
Device has possibility to load software revision history and check availability for new software release. Click the “Check
online” link. If computer (not device!) has internet access, it will show a list of all software releases with links to binary files.
Binary file can be downloaded and saved to computer (see Figure 15 "Firmware upgrade"). After that, use the firmware
