1.2Content of Delivery
The package includes:
· Expert Net Control 2111 / 2191
· Power Supply Unit 7903 (12V DC, 1 A) (only ENC 2111-1 / 2191-1)
· GSM Antenna (only ENC 2191)
· Quick Start Guide
1.3Description
The Expert Net Control 2111 / 2191 can switch 4 different relay outputs and monitor
12 passive signal inputs. The device has the following features:
· 4 switchable, potential-free relay outputs with change-over connectors (NO and NC),
high switching voltage 36 V, 3 A
· Relays dispose of high contact reliability also at very small loads
· 12 passive inputs for monitoring NO and NC devices, e.g. door contacts, smoke de-
tectors, leakage sensors etc.
· Each signal input includes a 12 V connector for supply of NO/NC devices
· A clearly visible LED display on the device reveals total current, IP address, sensor
data and error reports
· LED display for status of power supply, inputs/outputs and GSM (2191)
· 2 inputs for redundant power supply (12 V DC) via 2 external power supply units
This means that there is only a connection between the center pin (COM) and the NC-pin (Normally Closed) for the output ports in the "Off" state. If the relay is in the "On" state,
then there is only contact from the center pin (COM) to the
NO-pin (Normally Open).
The digital signal inputs (input ports) go to the logic state
"LOW" when the pin "In" and the center pin "GND" are
bridged, otherwise the state is "HI". The text outputs associated with the "LOW" and "HI" states can be defined in the Input Ports configuration. In the default configuration, the
logic states are inverted so that the state "HI" is assumed for
a bridged contact. In addition, a 12 V power supply can be
activated in the Sensor configuration on the 12V-pin. The
power of the 12 V supply (high = 600 mA, low = 400 mA) is
adjustable.
If the device has PoE or a second input for the supply voltage, all voltage sources can
be connected at the same time. This allows redundancy in the power supply.
Start-up the device
· Connect the device (Pwr1 oder Pwr2) to the AC Adaptor (12 V DC, 1 A).
· Optional connect the device to a second AC Adaptor (12 V DC, 1 A).
· Plug the network cable into the Ethernet (RJ45).
· Attach the optional external sensors to the connectors.
· Attach the antenna and insert the SIM card into the card slot (only ENC 2191).
· Connect the passive inputs and relay outputs to compatible devices.
Terminal Assignment
The terminal assignment of the terminals is printed on the housing surface:
2 x sockets for ext. power supply
4 x switchable outputs
12 x passive signal inputs
4 x RJ45 for optional sensors
1x Ethernet connector RJ45
1 x Connector GSM antenna
1 x SIM card slot
139 mm x 91 mm x 34 mm (L x H x D)
159 mm x 91 mm x 34 mm (L x H x D) (with
flaps)
Weight
approx. 460 g
Plug for power supply connection
System terminal 2-pole - AK1550/2-3.5GREEN
Connector for switching outputs and
signal inputs
System terminal 3-pole - AK1550/3-3.5GREEN
As an alternative to the connection of "In" and "GND", voltages of up to 24 V (=
VIn
) can be connected to the input "In". For voltages less than 4 V the state goes to
max
"LOW", for voltages greater than 8 V the "HI" state is assigned.
1.5Redundant Voltage Supply
If the device (only ENC 2111-2 / 2191-2) and the connected switch support Powerover-Ethernet, the power supply via PoE has priority and the device is powered only via
PoE. Alternatively, the device can be supplied via up to two power supply units. If both
power supplies are connected at the same time, the current is split up. The current distribution depends on the difference between the output voltages of the two power supplies.
For the connected leakage point sensor 7313 to work, the 12 V power supply
must be activated in the sensor configuration.
61
The sensors are detected automatically after connection. The green LED on the
RJ45 sensor connector then lights up permanently. If the sensor value is displayed permanently on the display, the green LED flashes. The sensor values
are displayed directly on the "Control Panel" website:
A click on the link in the "Name" column opens the display of the Min and Max values.
The values in a column can be reset using the "Reset" button. The "Reset" button in
the name column deletes all stored Min and Max values.
The current status of the output is indicated by the color of the LED. Red indicates that
the output is off, green shows that the output is on. On the device are the buttons "se-
lect" and "ok". If you press "select", you can select the following modes one by one:
1. At first, all LEDs flash green. If you press the "Ok" button for 4 seconds, all ports
are switched on. (If all ports are switched on, this is skipped).
2. After that, all LEDs flash red. If you hold the "Ok" button for 4 seconds, all ports will
be switched off. (If all ports are switched off, this will be skipped).
3. If you press "Select" again, the LED for the first output starts blinking, i.e. the output
is selected. Press "Select" again to select the next output. If you keep the "Ok" button pressed for one second, the state of the selected output will be toggled.
You can switch off in the front panel configuration that all ports with the modes 1 and 2
can be switched by pushbutton.
Display Information
If no port is selected manually, repeatedly pressing the "ok" key will show the IP-address and the values of the external sensors on the display.
Status-LED
The Status LED shows the different states of the device:
· red: The device is not connected to the Ethernet.
· orange: The device is connected to the Ethernet and waits for data from the DHCP
· green: The device is connected to the Ethernet and the TCP/IP settings are allocated.
· periodic blinking: The device is in Bootloader mode.
2.2Control Panel
Access the web interface: http://"IP-address" and log-in.
The web page provides an overview of the switching state, energy measurement values, as well as the external sensors, provided that they are connected. When a single
port is clicked at the Expert Net Control 2111 / 2191, a panel with buttons to control a
single port appear:
The Port icon is green when the relay is closed, or red in the open state. An additional
small clock icon indicates that a timer is active. Timer can be activated by delay, reset
or batch mode.
An activated Watchdog is represented by an eye icon. An "X" means, that the address
that should be observed, could not be resolved. Two circular arrows show a booting
status.
The ports can be switched manually with the "On" and "Off" buttons. If the port is
turned on, it can be turned off by pressing the "Reset" button, until after a delay it turns
itself on again. The delay time is determined by the parameter Reset Duration, which is
described in the chapter "Configuration - Output Ports". The "Close" button dissolves the panel again.
39
Batchmode
Each individual port can be set for a selectable period of time to the state "switch on"
or "switch off". After the selected time they are automatically switched to the second
preselected state.
Optionally the device can be switched via a Perl script or external tools like wget. More
information is available on our support wiki at www.gude.info/wiki.
The website contains a status overview of all passive signal inputs, the time since the
last change, and a counter of switching changes. The name and text for a logical state
of each input can be configured in the chapter Configuration-Input Ports.
This table shows which voltage inputs (Pwr1 to Pwr3) are connected to a power supply
or if Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is active.
The indicator "3.3V sensor" shows whether the 3.3 V supply of the electronics of the
external sensors works, which can be connected via RJ45. The "12V sensor" display
indicates whether 12 V voltage is available at the external sensors or the passive signal inputs. The 12 V supply can be switched on in Configuration-Sensors.

61
For devices with a GSM module (Expert Net Control 2191), additional reception information, the prepaid credit and the own call number are displayed. An overview of
the GSM activities can be expanded.
2.3Maintenance
The actual device generation with IPv6 and SSL allows all maintenance functions in
the web interface to be carried out on the Maintenance Page.
Maintenance in the web interface
The following functions are available from the maintenance web page:
On the Maintenance Page, select the required file with "Browse .." in the sections
21
"Firmware Update", "SSL Certificate Upload" or "Config Import File Upload" and press
"Upload". The file is now transferred to the update area of the device and the contents
are checked. Only now, pressing the "Apply" button will permanently update the data,
or abort with "Cancel".
Only one upload function can be initiated with a reboot, eg. you cannot transmit
firmware and configuration at the same time.
If after a firmware update, the web page is not displayed correctly anymore, this
may be related to the interaction of Javascript with an outdated browser cache. If a
Ctrl-F5 does not help, it is recommended that you manually delete the cache in the
browser options. Alternatively, you can test start the browser in "private mode".
During a firmware update, old data formats are sometimes converted to new structures. If an older firmware is newly installed, the configuration data and the energy
meters may be lost! If the device then does not run correctly, please restore the factory
settings (e.g. from the Maintenance Page).
21
Actions in Bootloader mode
If the web interface of the device is no longer accessible, the device can be put into
Bootloader mode (see chapter Bootloader activation). The following functions can
be executed using the GBL_Conf.exe application:
24
· Set IPv4 address, net-mask and gateway
· Turn HTTP password on and off
· Turn IP-ACL on and off
· Factory Reset
· Jump into the bootloader (can be switched on and off)
· Restart the device
For devices with relays, entering or exiting the bootloader mode does not change
the state of the relays as long as the operating voltage is maintained.
The GBL_Conf.exe program is available free of charge on our website www.gude.info
and can also be found on the enclosed CD-ROM.
To check the network settings with GBL_Conf.exe, start the program and choose "All
Devices" in the "Search" menu. From the list select the appropriate device. The lower
part of the left half of the window now shows the current network settings of the device.
If the IP address is displayed with the default settings (192.168.0.2), either no DHCP
server is present on the network, or there could be no free IP address assigned to it.
· Activate the Bootloader Mode (see Chapter Bootloader Mode) and choose in menu
"Search" the item "Bootloader-Mode Devices only"
· Enter the desired settings in the edit window and save them with "Save Config".
· Deactivate the boot loader mode for the changes to take effect. Select again "All
Devices" in the "Search" menu of GBL_Conf.exe.
The new network configuration is now displayed.
Factory Reset
The device can be reset to the factory default via the web interface from the Maintenance Page or from the Bootloader mode (see chapter Bootloader activation). All
TCP/IP settings are reset in this operation.
If a unit is set to factory defaults, an uploaded certificate or updated firmware will
be preserved.
2124
2.3.1
Maintenance Page
This section provides access to important functions such as Firmware Update or Restart Device. It is advisable to set an HTTP password for this reason.
SSL Certificate Upload: Saves your own SSL certificate. See chapter "SSL" for the
generation of a certificate in the right format.
Config Import File Upload: Loads a new configuration from a text file. To apply the new
configuration, a "Restart Device" must be executed after the "Upload".
Config File Export: Saves the current configuration in a text file.
Saving the configuration should only be carried out in an SSL connection, since it
contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed).
Restart Device: Restarts the device without changing the status of the relays.
Some functions such as a firmware update or changing of the IP-address and
HTTP settings require a restart of the device. A jump to the boot loader or a restart of
the device lead by no means to a change of the relay states.
Restore Fab Settings and Restart Device: Performs a restart and resets the device to
factory default.
Enter Bootloader Mode: Jumps into bootloader mode, where additional settings can be
made with GBL_Conf.exe.
Flush DNS Cache: All entries in the DNS cache are discarded and address resolutions
are requested again.

2.3.2
Configuration Management
The device configuration can be saved and restored in the maintenance area.
The "Config File Export" function can be used to save the current configuration as a
text file. The syntax used in the configuration file corresponds to the commands of the
Telnet console. If the configuration of a device is to be restored from a text file, load
the file with "Upload" and restart the device with "Restart Device".
Saving the configuration should only be carried out in an SSL connection, since it
contains sensitive password information (even if it is encrypted or hashed). For the
same reasons, it is advisable to carefully handle the generated configuration files when
archiving.
Editing the configuration file
It is possible to customize a saved configuration file with a text editor for your own
needs. For example, one scenario would be to use a script language to automate the
creation of many customized versions of a configuration, then equip a large number of
devices with an individualized configuration. Also Upload and restart with CGI commands can be done in scripting languages. With use of the comment sign "#" you can
quickly hide single commands or add personal notes.
If you modify a configuration file manually, it is not always clear which limits are allowed
for parameters. After uploading and restarting, commands with invalid parameters are
ignored. Therefore, the generated configuration includes comments describing the
boundaries of the parameters. Where "range:" refers to a numeric value, and "len:" to a
text parameter. E.g:
email auth set 0 #range: 0..2
email user set "" #len: 0..100
The command "system fabsettings" from the beginning of a generated configuration
file brings the device into the factory state, and then executes the individual commands
that modify the configuration state. It may be desirable to make the changes relative to
the current configuration, and not out of the factory state. Then the "system fabsettings" should be removed.
No output of default values
The configuration file contains (with exceptions) only values which differ from the default. The command "system fabsettings" (go to the factory state) from the beginning of
a generated configuration file should not be removed, otherwise the device can get incompletely configured.
Configuration via Telnet
The configuration files can in principle also be transferred in a Telnet session, but then
the settings are changed during operation, and not completely when restarting, as it
would have been the case with an upload. It can happen that events are triggered at
the same time as the device is configured. One should therefore:
email enabled set 0
email sender set "" #len: 0..100
email recipient set "" #len: 0..100
email server set "" #len: 0..100
email port set 25
email security set 0 #range: 0..2
email auth set 0 #range: 0..2
email user set "" #len: 0..100
email passwd hash set "" #len: 0..100
email enabled set 1 #range: 0..1
2.3.3
Bootloader Activation
The configuration of the device from the application "GBL_Conf.exe" is only possible, if
the device is in Bootloader Mode.
Activation of the Bootloader Mode
1) via push button:
· Hold both buttons for 3 seconds
2) or
· Remove the power supply
· Hold down the "Select" button. If the push button is recessed, use a pin or paper clip
· Connect the operating voltage
3) by Software: (only if "Enable FW to BL" was previously activated in the
"GBL_Conf.exe" application)
· Start the "GBL_Conf.exe" program
· Do a network search with the "Search" menu action
· Activate in menu "Program Device" the item "Enter Bootloader"
4) via web interface:
Press "Enter Bootloader Mode" on the maintenance web page.
Whether the device is in Bootloader mode, is indicated by the flashing of the status
LED, or it is shown in "GBL_Conf.exe" application after a renewed device search (appendix "BOOT-LDR" after the device name). In Bootloader mode the program
"GBL_Conf.exe" can disable the password and the IP ACL, perform a firmware update,
and restore the factory settings.
For devices with relays, entering or exiting the bootloader mode does not change
the state of the relays as long as the operating voltage is maintained.
· Hold both buttons for 3 seconds (only if the device has 2 buttons)
2) or
· Remove and connect the power supply without operating a button
3) by Software:
· Start the "GBL_Conf.exe" application
· Do a network search with the "Search" menu action
· In menu "Program Device" activate the item "Enter Firmware"
Factory Reset
If the device is in bootloader mode, it can always be put back to its factory default. All
TCP/IP settings are reset in this operation.
If a unit is set to factory defaults, an uploaded certificate or updated firmware will
be preserved.
1) via push button:
· Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device
· Hold down the button (or the "Select" button for devices with 2 buttons) for 6
seconds. If the push button is recessed, use a pin or paper clip
· The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly
(about 5 seconds)
2) by Software:
· Activate the Bootloader Mode of the device
· "Start the GBL_Conf.exe" program
· In menu "Program Device" activate the item "Reset to Fab Settings"
· The status LED will blink in a fast rhythm, please wait until the LED blinks slowly
(about 5 seconds)
2.4GSM
To use the GSM functions, there must be an activated SIM card in the SIM card slot.
If the SIM card is inserted, and the device is enabled, the integrated GSM module
searches automatically for a connection to the GSM network. If this connection works,
you can control and configure the device via SMS or by call.
When operating via SMS, send defined SMS commands to the device. The device executes these commands and confirms them with reply SMS.
When operating via phone call, you can perform commands by FreeCall, that allow the
unit to perform preconfigured commands, when it is called from a particular phone
number. There is no connection established and there are no call charges. Another
possibility is the voice call. Here, the device menu is operated using DTMF codes. This
type of operation can also be carried out automatically.
If you are using a new SIM card, please take note:
1. Preparing the SIM card
2. SIM-card pin code
3. Install SIM card
· If you are using a contracted SIM card, please start with step 2
· If you are using a prepaid SIM card, please take care:
o There has to be a positiv balance on the card
o The card has to be activated. New prepaid cards need some
manual operation at the start of usage. These requests have to be
made from a user with a cellphone.
· The device awaits the SIM card pin code 1234 first. Enter this PIN to the
SIM card, by using a cellphone. In case you are using another pin code,
you have to configure the EPC NET GSM before you activate the GSM
part of the device! Otherwise this may lead to a lock of the SIM card.
· You can disable the need to enter the PIN code on the SIM card with a
mobile phone. In this case the EPC NET GSM accepts the SIM card
without checking the code.
· Switch off the device or deactivate the GSM module. Alternatively, you
can just turn off the GSM module in the EPC NET GSM via software.
Never install a SIM card, when GSM module is active. Otherwise the
SIM card may be destroyed.
· Insert the SIM card into the Push Sim Holder.
4. Connect Antenna
· Take the GSM antenna from the box and screw it to the EPC NET GSM
by turning clockwise. It is enough to attract the connection hand-tight.
Never use pliers to tighten or similar to the antenna, thus inevitably destroying the antenna connection.
5. Activate the EPC NET GSM
· Power up the device. In factory default state, the GSM module is deactivated. This is a security setting in delivery to avoid accidentally locking
a SIM card with the wrong code.
· Log in on the web interface.
· Switch to Configuration / GSM / SIM.
· Here the button "Enable GSM" is set to "No", that is the GSM module is
turned off. Set the button to "yes", then press the button "Apply" to transmit the data to the EPC NET GSM.
· Wait some minutes, until the device has logged into the GSM. You can
see the status change from the Signal Tower indicator LED on the display or in the web interface.
GSM Status LED's
The GSM status LED's displays different states of the GSM module.
'11' .. '19' off, wait [t1 .. t9]s, on
'21' .. '29' on, wait [t1 .. t9]s, off
'31' .. '39' toggle, wait [t1 .. t9]s, toggle
Note: Sequence numbers are identical to the DTMF codes for voice calls.
Example:
%port batchmode1 13m0123
Answer:
Device name: epc007
Switch sequence: Port 1 off -> t3 -> on
Account Credit: Credit 130.50
2.4.1.1.4 Port: Advanced Switching (coldstart)
The command 'coldstart' turns off all Output Ports at once. Then it switches the ports
temporally delayed on again (according to the current output port configuration), as if
the device performs a cold start.
