1 CHECK LIST
• The XWEB5000 server unit.
• One power cord for power supply connection.
• 2 mounting brackets.
• Quick reference manual (Fast installation).
• One serial line adapter
• One CD Rom containing the Operating manual and software
Page 6

Pg. 6/72 23/05/2007 1592010850
2 TO DO LIST
• Check if the power supply line matches the XWEB5000
specification (90~264 VAC 50~60Hz.).
• Connect the serial line RS 485 with the adapter provided.
• Plug-in monitor, keyboard and mouse (if required) before turning
on the unit.
• Plug-in RJ 45 network cable (not provided).

1592010850 23/05/2007 Pg. 7/72
3 RS 485 CONNECTION
To be connected to the serial line all the Dixell Modbus instruments
must be provided with direct RS485 terminals or the “TTL”-RS485
interface (XJRS485 or XJ485). Check the instrument manuals for
more information. The RS485 line is mainly based on two polarised
terminals. Please pay respect to the right sequence for all the
devices connected to the serial line.
Follow these important instructions:
• The RS485 serial line must reach all the instruments where they
are installed.
• Make sure of the wire polarities when screwing them into the
instrument terminals.
• The cable must have 2 or 3 wires with shield, minimum section
0,5mm2 (eg. the BELDEN 8772).
• From the XWEB5000 position the cable reaches all the
instrument positions.
• Do not execute loops or derivations:
Page 8
XWEB SERIES Installation Guide
Pg. 8/72 23/05/2007 1592010850
Right connection:
Wrong connection:
• Always keep the serial cable away from power cables.
• Always keep the serial cable away from Electro-magnetic or
frequency sources.
• Do not connect shield to ground.
• Do not connect the “Gnd (ground) ” terminal.
• Remember to draw a map of the line. This will help you to find
errors if something is wrong.
• The instrument with RS485 have “+” and “-“ terminals, respect
the polarity.
• To keep the line balanced it is necessary a 100 Ohm resistor at
the end of the line (you ca use the RS 485+ and RS 485-
terminals of the last instrument connected).
Page 9
XWEB SERIES Installation Guide
1592010850 23/05/2007 Pg. 9/72
3.1 The TTL output
The instrument with RS485 on board does not need any kind of
external interface module. For instruments with an external
interface: keep the TTL cable away from power cables or frequency
sources.
The XJ485 external interface must be connected with a TTL cable to
the instrument with TTL compatibility.
3.2 Serial address of the instruments
Each instrument must be defined by its unique address.
Check the address into the Adr parameter value of each
instruments. Take reference to the instruction manual of the
instrument itself to find the ri ght procedure to enter the programming
and set the value.
The easiest way to work with the category functions is to set the
addresses progressively for similar groups of instruments which
have the same application.

4 Local connection with monitor, mouse
and keyboard
On rear of the XWEB5000 sockets are provided for a monitor, a
mouse and a keyboard. Please connect all the peripherals before
powering-on the unit otherwise the system may fails to recognise
them. This means that , for example, if you do not plug the monitor
cable in now, you won’t see anything displayed on it later.
The unit can also work without these three elements therefore if the
user intend s to work just with the remote, he can definitively remove
them after the setup operations. In any case inside the of
XWEB5000 is loaded a standard browser to allow the user setting
up the unit.
If necessary check the instructions manual of each device
connected to the unit.
The operative procedure to work with XWEB5000 is the same for all
connection methods.
Page 11
XWEB SERIES Installation Guide
1592010850 23/05/2007 Pg. 11/72
It is possible to connect to the unit via a single PC provided with
LAN card, by using the net connector RJ 45 (LAN). Due to the PC-
client power, this kind of connection is more suitable for the setup
procedures.
IMPORTANT: the cable between the Server and the PC must be
with crossing wires (“Bridge Cable”).
The connection procedure from the remote PC is described in deep
in this guide. You may need some changes to your PC network
card, then you will be able to connect to XWEB5000 via Ethernet/
Internet line. Once you have finished setting up your network card,
connection to XWEB5000 is established simply by launching the
Browser and inserting the default IP number of the unit
http://192.168.0.200 into the address bar.
Before reading on, please take a few moments to write down your
PC network setup, there may be a need to change it. If the IP
address of your PC belong to the hierarchy 192.168.0.XYZ (where
XYZ represent a number between 1 and 254), you can reach
XWEB5000 simply plugging in the network cable.

5 Modem connection (“or point to point
connection”)
It represents the most common method where the LAN (intranet /
Ethernet / internet) is not available.
It is strongly advised to use a dedicated telephone line.
IMPORTANT: Use exclusively modem devices approved by
Dixell.
Remember that many modems are not compatible with Linux.
The list of compatible models can be found under the menu:
Configuration – System - Modem.
External Modem
Connect the External Modem to the serial Port on the back side
using the modem cable commonly included into the modem
packaging itself.
The modem reset is directly controlled by the XWEB5000 Server
through the RS232 port by turning off and then on the modem
device.
Connect the modem to the telephone line with the phone cable
included into the modem packaging. Remember to check if there is
a switching machine.
The connection procedure is divided in two parts. In the first part it is
necessary to create the Remote Access, in your PC, set with the
telephone number of the line where the XWEB5000 is connected to.
You have to use Dixell as Username and Password.
The second is the procedure you will ever use: after launching the
new Remote Access that will engage the line through the modem,
start the Browser from your PC and insert the address
http://192.168.1.200 into Explorer/Netscape address bar.

6 Intranet / ethernet connection
The Intranet or Ethernet connection should be initially managed by
the net administrator which will assign one free IP address to reach
the Server. This number is an example of what you should expect:
http://192.168.000.111.
After receiving the address from your network Administrator the
XWEB5000 must be set with this number.
REMEMBER: A setup wizard will guide you through the procedure.
Please ensure you have an IP address to use in network section.
Use a standard RJ45 network cable to connect the unit to your lan.
The Intranet method allows the connection to interact with
XWEB5000 from all the PC Clients. Insert the net address assigned
by the administrator into the Browser address bar. Bookmark the
address with personalised name for the future connections.
Internet connection
It is necessary to have a STATIC IP address for the XWEB5000
which is normally assigned by the Provider of your internet services
(ISP).
The Internet connection allows XWEB5000 to be reached from all
PC-clients. Insert the net address assigned by the administrator into
Page 66
XWEB SERIES Installation Guide
Pg. 66/72 23/05/2007 1592010850
the Browser address bar. Bookmark the address with personalised
name for the future connections.
Ask your provider for more details about the rent of a the static IP.
This the internet system requirements for the best result:
Wide band connection.
At least 1 static IP addresses for the XWEB5000.
The internet connection is established through a device called
Router that receives and sends the data as interface between an
Intranet and Internet. The Provider also assigns the address of the
router that is called IP WAN.
Remember that the default value of the IP of the XWEB5000 is:
192.168.0.200.
Depending on the contract the Provider can also supply the router,
otherwise the user can buy it separately.
ALWAYS: ask qualified personnel for the router installation by using
this information.
Used ports that are mapped to the LAN side:
80 (used for the HTTP access)
22 (used for SSH connection)
443 (used for SSL protected connection)
10000 (used for the internal modules of the system)
The above ports are all related to the XWEB5000 IP address
192.168.0.200.
While the ports on the WAN side are:
Telnet (to configure the router from a remote, also via Internet).
HTTP (To access the XWEB5000).
If working with the router GATEWAY and DNS check your Internet
contract details. Depending on your network topology you may need
a reversing NAT on port 80. It is not enough to link port 80 on
Router side to port 80 on intranet side. Some firewall or Router
need also di reverse setup.
