The factory default network configuration is as follows:
You can log in with username admin
(lower case) and password 1234
. It is recommended that you change the password. You will be reminded to do so by a big red banner on the top of each page.
To reset to factory defaults, gently press the reset-to-defaults button below the LCD to enter the reset menu, then select a reset option.
Use these shortcuts if you are an experienced installer. We recommend reading the entire manual for first-time installation.
If your network settings won't access the default IP, use a direct cable connection (temporarily bypass any switch or router) and follow these steps to add a compatible static IP, such as 192.168.0.50.
Before adding an IP, close all programs and browsers. After the link is established, you can enable DHCP.
In Windows, the first step is locating the network adapter TCP/IP properties. The procedure differs for each Windows version:
Windows XP, 2000, 2003:
Windows Vista:
Windows 8:
The second step is adding an IP such as 192.168.0.50. Temporarily disable DHCP while configuring the switch.

If your default Windows settings won't access the controller, use a crossover cable and follow these steps to reach the controller's IP:
The default user name and password are "admin" (lower case) and "1234".
After power-up, the controller performs a sequence of self-tests to ensure reliability. The controller may then be operated via a web browser. To access the controller, simply enter the IP address in the URL field of your web browser, then log in. You will be presented with a screen similar to this:
Note that in this and many other pages, logical blocks can be collapsed by clicking in their right-hand corner, and later expanded by clicking .
You can navigate the menu links to access the controller's features:
Custom links can be configured on the Admin page. The branding block can be customized on the Customization page.
The relay control page lets you control relays. The sequence in which relays will be switched on is determined by settings on the Admin page. To switch an relay on or off, simply click to the right of the relay name or number. Switching an relay off is immediate. Switching an relay on may be delayed if a different (or possibly even the same) relay was recently turned on. The delay acts to protect the device from simultaneous inrush currents and limit cycling rate. You may also "cycle" a device which is connected to the controller. This feature is useful for rebooting Ethernet devices which may interrupt the web link to the controller. Clicking "Cycle" switches power off, waits a few seconds, and then switches power back on. This resets the attached device. You may also "cycle" all relays using the "Cycle all relays" button on the bottom of the page. Depending on your web browser settings, you may need to click the "refresh" button to update the on-screen status display after changing settings. A screen refresh setting is provided on the Setup page.
Browser logout is automatic when a session is closed or after a time-out period. You can use a menu link to log-out in advance.
