3. Getting Started
3.1. Pre-requisites
Prior to configuring a communications module, ensure the unit is powered on and connected to the network.
The Communications Module can be configured from a computer with either a TCP/IP network connection or
a DB-9 Serial port. The communications module supports straight-through serial connections for basic
programming. For access to the full configurable feature set, a modern web browser will be required.
The communications module currently supports access from:

Internet Explorer 8 or greater

Firefox 3.5 or greater
3.2. Configuration Using the Web GUI
1. Ensure both the communications module and your PC are connected to the Local Area Network. A direct
connection to the communications module will require the use of a crossover network cable.
WEBS-CM-2, WEBS-PA-1 and WEBS-PA-2-IP are pre-configured with the following default settings:
IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Username: admin
Password: admin@123
2. Configure the IP address of your PC to be on the same subnet as the communications module. For
example, 192.168.1.3
3. Open a supported web browser and direct it to the IP address of the communications module. For
example, enter the following URL:
http://192.168.1.10 .
The browser prompts for authentication:

4. Enter the default Username and Password. After authentication is successful, you are redirected to the
Home page.
5. Further configuration of the communications module settings are examined in Section 4: Using the Web
GUI.
