Wireless I/O and Gateway
Connecting to the device
To configure the WI-I/O-2-E-N-GBL you connect to it using a web browser
on your PC or mobile device.
Connecting to the module for the first time
On first connection, you can only connect to the device through its USB
port. Once you have connected to the device for the first time, you can
enable access through the Ethernet port and remotely through the
802.11 Wireless port.
Connecting to the device's USB port
The USB port is located on the bottom side of the module. To connect,
you need an USB cable (USB-A to USB-B) for connecting from your
computer to the module's USB-B port.
If this is the first time you have used your computer to connect to a
Weidmueller device through the USB port, then you will need to install
the USB driver file provided with the product on USB Flash Memory stick.
You will also need to know the username/password configured for the
device. If the module is new out-of-the-box you can use the default
settings. Otherwise, you may need to restore these settings. If you have
lost the password, you can set the username and password back to the
default values. For instructions, see
"Restoring the factory default connection settings" on page 3.
1. Install the USB Device driver to your PC. You do this by running the
installer ".exe" file and following the prompts.
2. Power on the device, and wait for the device to finish booting and for
the
"PWR" LED to go solid green (about 1 minute).
3. Plug in the USB cable and wait for your computer to recognize the
new USB device.
4. Once the device is connected, you will have an additional Network
Adapter in your device manager list
"Weidmueller WI-I/O-2-E-N-GBL USB Ethernet/ RNDIS Interface"
5. Open your web browser (recommended Internet Explorer version 10
or later) and type "http://192.168.111.1" into the browser bar. The
device's USB address is always the same.
The module responds with a username and password box.
6. Type the username and password. The default username is "user"
and the default password is "user".
This connects you to the home page of the Web-based configuration
utility. This utility allows you to manage wireless connection links
between all modules in the system through a standard browser, such as
Microsoft ® Internet Explorer ® .
Connecting to the Device's Ethernet port
The Ethernet port is located on the bottom side of the module. To
connect, you need an Ethernet cable for connecting to the module's
Ethernet port. You also need to know the device's IP Address and the
username/password configured for the device.
The module's default settings are as follows:
IP Address 192.168.0.1XX
(shown on the printed label on the side
of the module)
255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask

Password
Note: You cannot access the device through Ethernet until remote access
has been enabled. The first time you access the device, you need to use
the USB method described above. Then you can enable remote access on
the quick start configuration page.
Once you have the device's IP address and password:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the module's Ethernet port and
the PC.
2. Configure your PC networking settings to be on the same network as
the device. For instructions on how to do this, see "Configuring PC
networking settings for Ethernet and Wireless" on page 3.
3. Open your web browser (recommended Internet Explorer version 10
or later) and type "http://" followed by the IP address of the module
and press Enter. The module responds with a username and
password box.
If the module does not respond, check that you have configured your
PC according to the section "Configuring PC networking settings for
Ethernet and Wireless" on page 3.
4. Type the username and password. The default username is "user"
and the default password is "user".
This connects you to the home page of the Web-based configuration

connection links between all modules in the system through a standard
browser, such as Microsoft ® Internet Explorer ® .
