Instruction manual

If you have not yet set up an ISP account and wish to program the Webmaster from a remote
location, or if you just prefer the “old fashioned method” of direct modem-to-modem
communication, go to the section below called “Direct Modem Access: Direct Tap.”
If you have an Ethernet card option installed, then the controller becomes another PC on the
network. You can use your web browser software, enter the controller’s address (assigned by your
network administrator) and access data or reconfigure the controller. You will need to have a
network node nearby to connect your Webmaster controller. See the section below called
“Ethernet Connection to LAN”.
You may also use the Ethernet card in your laptop to communicate with the Ethernet card in the
Webmaster. This requires a special null cable and the Ethernet parameters must be programmed
into the Webmaster using either direct serial to the RS232 port, or the local keypad. Refer to the
section below called “Direct Ethernet (for a Webmaster not connected to the LAN).”
Uploading Configuration Files
You can save all of the set points from a previously programmed controller, and then upload the
same set points into another controller. If you have already downloaded a configuration file from a
previously programmed controller, you can upload that file to this controller in order to make all
the set points the same. If you want to save the set points of this controller for use in future
controllers, or want to program this controller using a stored configuration file, refer to section
6.29 for specific instructions.
See the appropriate section above, depending upon how you plan on uploading the configuration
file; via a laptop connected to the front panel, via modem, via Ethernet connection, or via local PC
connected to the RS232 port.
