Connection to an internal network User interface: button and LEDS Installation pCOWeb on the pCO controller Starting for the first time – Accessing pCOWeb from a computer Connecting pCOWeb to a PC PC configuration Accessing pCOWeb from a PC...
CONNECTION TO AN INTERNAL NETWORK In the example shown in Figure 1.a above pCOWeb is connected to an internal network. If suitably configured, the personal computers in the internal network can communicate with pCOWeb using one of the various standard network languages included on pCOWeb.

TABLE 1.a – Status LED signals LED Status Meaning Notes Green flashing (3 times/sec) Regular Pco-pCOWeb communication When running demanding tasks (sending a large number of notifications), this may be green steady for a few seconds Red flashing slowly (once every 2...
If more than one pCOWeb devices is installed, a map of the installation should be created, applying the second label provided in the packaging onto the map for each pCOWeb, corresponding to its physical position; in this way, the network administrator can be provided with precise documents on where the pCOWeb devices and corresponding MAC addresses are located.
The PC can comunicate with pCOWeb if settings on both devices are correctly aligned. As the pCOWeb default settings can only be changed once the connection has been estabilished with the PC, when first accessing the device the personal computer will need to be configured to adapt it to the pCOWeb default settings.

IP ADDRESS AND SUBNET MASK The personal computer must be set not to use the DHCP, but rather the following IP address: 172.16.0.100. The Subnet mask field also needs to be set; the Gateway is not required. Figura 3.b – Network settings 1.

C – PROXY The following procedure tells the personal computer to not use the network device called the “proxy” for communication: in fact, the PC is not connected to the network and if the “proxy” is not disabled communication would not be possible.
172.16.0.1 then press ENTER IMPORTANT: before pressing ENTER wait for pCOWeb to complete the start-up phase (check that the Status LED is flashing normally), otherwise the required web pages will not be sent to the PC. The pCOWeb main page “index.html” will be displayed (see Figure below)

To check that the procedure described above has been carried out correctly, check that using the address “172.16.0.1” in the Internet Explorer browser does not allow entry into the page. Enter the new address given to the pCOWeb and the main start screen should appear. Version 1.0 August 2007...

In “Exceptions” field enter the address chosen for communications with pCOWeb (for example: http://10.0.8.56) Figure 4.d - Resetting the proxy server Close the windows using the OK button.
ACCESSING THE USER MEMORY VIA FTP PCOWeb features an FTP server that is used to access the user memory and load or retrive files, for example custom HTML pages. To use this function, the PC should be installed with an FTP client; for example SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com), used as the example in following procedure (for other software the procedure is...
