W&T 1.3 Assigning the IP address using „WuTility“ Once the hardware has been connected to the supply voltage as described above, you must assign the IP address needed for operation in a TCP/IP network. You can obtain the correct value for this parameter from your system administrator.
Page 9
W&T Click on the „IP address“ symbol: In the resulting window enter the desired network parameters for the device and confirm by clicking on „Continue“. The BOOTP client of the Web-IO Analog-In can be activated in the following window. Clicking on the Continue button assigns the network parameters to the Web-IO Analog-In.
W&T 1.4 IP assignment using DHCP protocol Many networks use DHCY (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or its predecessor BOOTP described in the following section for centralized, dynamic assignment of network parameters. By default DHCP protocol is activated, so that in network environments with dynamic IP assignment you only need to connect the Web-IO Analog-In to the network.
W&T In the following dialog window deactivate the options BOOTP and DHCP. Click on Next to send the new configuration data to the Web-IO Analog-In. • Web Based Management In Config r Device r Basic Settings r Network you can alternately activate or deactivate both the protocols.
W&T 1.4.3 Lease time The lease time determined and sent by the DHCP server specifies how long the IP address will remain in use. After half the lease time has expired the Web-IO Analog-In attempts to extend the time for the assigning DHCP server and to update the address.
W&T 1.4.4 Reserved IP addresses The Web-IO Analog-In provides services which can make use of other clients in the network as needed. To open a connection they of course need the current IP address of the Web-IO Ana- log-In, so that in these applications it makes sense to reserve a particular IP address for the Web-IO Analog-In on the DHCP server.
W&T 1.5 Assigning the basic network parameters In the configuration tree at left click on „Config“. You are now prompted to enter a password. The factory default setting is for no password, so that you can simply click on the Login button without entering a password.

W&T The device now automatically displays the necessary menu points for this profile. Click on „Network“ in the configuration menu.
Page 16
W&T On the following page enter all the necessary network parameters and when you are finished click on the „Logout“ button. Then clicking on the „Save“ button saves the settings in the device and closes your configuration session. After the network parameters have been changed the device automatically restarts itself.
W&T 2 Graph Display of the Measurements 2.1 Basic functions The device provides a table of the current values and a graph of the stored values. By using the control buttons at the bottom of the page you can do the following. Scroll the graph to right or left by the size of the display interval, to within one unit.

W&T 7 Appendix 7.1 Alternate IP address assignment 7.1.1 Using DHCP-/BOOTP protocol Many networks use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP for centralized and dynamic assigning of the IP addresses. It makes no difference to the Web-IO devices which of the two protocols is used in any given case, since DHCP is simply a downward compatible extension of BOOTP.
Page 69
W&T Please consult your system administrator when starting up the device in DHCP/BOOTP networks. If the address is assigned using DHCP, you must also indicate that a reserved IP address is required. To integrate this into the respective address database, the administrator needs the Ethernet address of the device, which can be found on the housing sticker.
