Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual 2.4 Web-Based Setup WebRelay-Quad™ is fully configurable through HTML 4.0 compliant web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. It’s easy to use tab based menu system has been designed to allow the unit to be configured easily. Note that in this chapter, the default IP address of 192.168.1.2 is used in all examples. - Page 20 Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual Navigating between setup pages is done by clicking on the tabs at the top of the page. All setup pages require a password. The default password is ‘webrelay’ (no quotes, all lower case) and no user name is required.

Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual 2.4.2 Network Setup Page The network parameters are changed on this page. Note that if multiple WebRelay-Quad™ units are used on the same network, install one unit at a time and set the IP address of each unit before connecting the next unit to the network. - Page 22 Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual If WebRelay-Quad™ will be used over the Internet, the IP address must be a routable address assigned by the upstream Internet Service Provider (ISP). In cases where the ISP only provides a single routable IP address for the entire network (this is typical with ISPs such as cable providers), a proxy server (or gateway router) may be used.
- Page 23 WebRelay-Quad™ must have its TCP Port set to 8002 in it's network settings page. This pattern continues through 10.10.10.77 which is assigned the port 8007. To access the ControlByWeb™ units from the Internet, enter the IP address of the gateway plus the port number of the desired device.

Page 25: Relay Setup
Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual 2.4.4 Relay Setup Pages These pages are used to set up the function of each of the four relays, and how each relay is represented on the control page. All four pages are identical, with the exception of the Relay 1 page which also includes a field for the main header text on the control page, the option to automatically refresh the control page, and the time duration for auto refresh. - Page 26 Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual Auto Refresh Page: Web pages traditionally display static information. The WebRelay-Quad™ control page, however, displays information that is dynamic. Each time the control page is loaded to the browser, it displays a snapshot of the current status of the unit. If the state of the unit changes, the information on the control page will be outdated unless the page is re-loaded.
- Page 27 Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual Pulse Button: This option allows the user to include a pulse button to control the relay. If the pulse button is included, the relay will pulse for the time specified in the ‘Pulse Duration’ field in the ‘Relay/Input’...

Page 28: Section 3: Operation
Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual Section 3: Operation WebRelay-Quad™ can be operated by using a web browser, by sending text commands to an XML status/control page, or by sending Modbus/TCP requests. 3.1 Browser Operation Once the unit is set up, the control page may be accessed by typing the following URL into the web browser: http://192.168.1.2 (Note that if the IP address was changed, replace the default IP address shown with the new address that was assigned. -
Page 29: Xml Operation
Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual 3.2 XML Operation Custom computer applications may be created to monitor and control WebRelay-Quad™ without using a web browser. Monitoring the state of the relays is done by sending a GET request to port 80 (or port specified in setup) for the XML page. Control of the relay is done by sending GET requests to the same page. - Page 30 Revision 2.6 WebRelay-Quad™ Users Manual The pulseTimeX variable does not change the pulse time specified in the setup page and it is not stored or recorded. The pulseTimeX variable only changes the pulse duration for the single pulse initiated by that command. In other words, you must issue the pulseTimeX for each pulse command that differs from the preset pulse time.
