Chapter 1: installation
battery baCkUp (optional)
The WEB600 has an optional rechargeable battery backup module available (part #FGD-W610-B) which
can provide up to 2 hours of backup time in the event of a power failure. The battery module connects
to the WEB600 using a short cable included with the battery module. Simply connect the cable to the
Battery Backup connector on the WEB600. The unit will charge the battery and monitor its charge level.
The percent charge can be viewed on the Summary screen. Note that upon initial connection it may
take up to 5 minutes for the unit to discover that a battery has been connected. Once the WEB600 sees
the battery it will enable the battery channel on the Battery programming screen (see Zones menu). To
receive a low battery alarm you must enable Alarm Message Delivery and configure the Alarm Schedule
accordingly. You must also set a Low Alarm Limit – a value not lower than 20% is suggested. Once the
battery reaches this level it has very little capacity left and will shutdown the system within a short peri-
od of time. The battery module contains circuitry to protect the battery from deep discharge damage
and will disconnect the load when all of its available energy has been expended.

neTwork ConfIGuraTIon
The Web600 is designed for installation on an Ethernet network. This involves assigning it an IP
address. By default the Web600 will try to acquire an IP address automatically using DHCP. If it is suc-
cessful you can then use the Sensaphone Locator program to find the Web600 on your network and then
assign it a fixed IP address. The network configurations page can be found on the Network tab within
the Setup page. If no DHCP server is found the unit will fallback to a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.250.
Follow the instructions below depending on which scenario applies to your network:
Automatic Network Configuration Using DHCP:
If your network supports DHCP then simply plug the network jack into the Web600’s Ethernet port and
turn it on. Allow the unit to finish booting up (1-2 minutes). Next, install the Sensaphone Locator pro-
gram on the included CDROM (or download it from www.sensaphone.com ). After installation, run the
Sensaphone Locator program and click the Search button. A list of detected Web600’s will be displayed
showing their IP address and MAC address (Web600 serial number). Click on the Web600 in the list and
then click Connect and your browser will open to the WEB600 homepage. Click Setup, then Network to
view the Network Configuration page.
