1. Introduction:
Congratulations on purchasing the eLAN-RF-003 control unit, an element of the RF Control wireless system.
Before you begin
The instruction manual provides information on installing and operating the device. The instruction manual is
always a part of the supply. Only per form installation after becoming thoroughly familiar with this User Guide
and device functions. Problem-free function of the device also depends on the way it was shipped, stored and
handled. If you notice any signs of damage, deformation, malfunction or a missing part, do not install this product
and return it to the point of sale. At the end of its service life, the product and its parts must be treated as electronic
waste. Before starting the installation, make sure that all wires and connected parts are not under voltage. When
assembling and performing maintenance, you must uphold safety regulations, standards, directives and special
provisions for working with electrical equipment.

environment.
Configuration and management of ELAN-RF-003 is performed via:
1) iMM server
2) its own web server
3) configuration SW eLAN-RF-003 Configurator

4. Hardware installation:
4.1 Front panel:
Power connector DC 12V – Input for connecting supplied power adapter.
Plug USB B – Used for servicing, (or can be used to power the product).
Green POWER LED power supply indicator.
Yellow USB Status LED – displays activity at the USB port.
Button RESET – used to restart or restore the product to factory settings*.
Connector Ethernet RJ 45 – used to connect mainly to the local network (LAN) or PC.
Yellow LED on Ethernet connector - indicates operating status.
Green LED diode on Ethernet connector - indicates communication.
*By shortly pressing (around 1s) the RESET button in the status where the product is connected to the supply
voltage, the product will restart. This restart neither changes nor deletes settings.
RESET to factory settings occurs after pressing and holding the RESET for min. 10s. This restart returns the product to
its factory settings, i.e. the IP adress is set to 192.168.1.1, the user name and password are set at: admin /
elkoep, user / elkoep, all learning and assigned IR codes and
the created web server control panel are erased.
4.2 Rear panel:
Red RF STATUS LED – Displays RF communication – during transmission the RF signal LED diode flashes.
SMA antenna connector – pro connecting the RF antenna.

Hardware installation:
Installation Manual

4.3 System requirements:
Functioning iMM Client or PC with functioning Ethernet adapter.
For PCs, installed web browser (such as Mozilla Firefox,Opera, etc.).
You must have installed .NET Framework 3.5 and higher.
Connecting Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
4.4 Requirements for installation environment:
The product cannot be placed where it is exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
Place the eLAN-RF-003 at a location where it can be connected to the Ethernet network, power source and
its RF antenna will be in sufficient distance from the controlled device.
For fault-free communication, adhere to the principles of installing the RF device, see RF catalog.
4.5 Examples of use:
Connect the power supply using the supplied adapter.
Connect the eLAN-RF-003 device to the Ethernet by a cable to the computer, iMM Client, eLAN-RF-003 or
Ethernet hub.(The cable must have an RJ45 connector, the device has an automatic cable crossover
detection function - so cable crossover does not present a problem).
Example 1:
The example of use of two eLAN-RF-003 devices in connection with the WiFi network is advantageous when this
network is already in use, and is only augmented with the eLAN-RF-003 device. The eLAN-RF-003 device can
function if the WiFi routers are connected to a bridge and both eLAN-RF-003 devices can "see" each other. For this
case, it is necessary to set the eLAN-RF-003 to the routing function.

Example 2:
Basic use where the RF controller (RF Touch, RF Pilot, RFRF AP/USB, RF Key) cannot control the RF actuators, due to
great distance, and when it is not possible to use the RFRP-20 repeater. By simply connecting to the network or by
extending an Ethernet cable, you can extend the maximum range (distance) of RF controllers.
For this case, it is necessary to set the eLAN-RF-003 to the routing function.
Example 3:
The next example illustrates the case where you already own an iMM Client server and you want to control all the
RF actuators and maintain an overview on statuses of all RF actuators found within the range of the eLAN-RF-003.

Example 4:
This example is similar to the previous one, except the device works via the PC. Thanks to the web server, it is easy to
control the RF actuators.
5. Configuration of computer:
For logging in to the web server or changing the IP address (192.168.1.1).
Example of configuration in the Windows system, proceed according to the following instructions:
1. In the computer Start menu, open the Control panel and select Network connections.
