WebStat W7350A1000
QUICK START GUIDE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
WebStat W7350A is a web-based building manager that leverages the NiagaraTM architecture and T7350 Wizards. It communicates over the LonWorks network to perform building management control of T7350 thermostats through a web browser. It runs building management applications such as Trending, Scheduling, and Alarming.
WebStat W7350A acts like a network time master to synchronize the time and date in thermostats linked to it with its own time and date or with the Internet time servers. Its Device Discovery feature enables you to discover online thermostats. You can perform User Administration and Access Level control. System Administration functions such as configuring network settings, site information settings, system & control network, date and time settings, and new module installation are also enabled.
CAUTION
Make sure that there is not more than one WebStat accessing the same Lon network simultaneously. If more than one WebStat accesses the same Lon network simultaneously, there may be problems in downloading and uploading parameters.
•Cable for Grounding (Refer JACE-2 Mounting and Wiring Instructions)
•The installation network and Internet requirements determined
For access from a local or wide area network (LAN/WAN), WebStat will be connected to the LAN/WAN. Ensure the presence of a network administrator. In case there is no network administrator, it might be necessary for the installer or the facility manager to consult an independent network professional. Internet access to WebStat is frequently provided through a LAN/WAN. Prior to installation, identify the procedures for connecting WebStat to the LAN/WAN and gain Internet access.
Network Security
As with any Internet web server, WebStat is subject to attack by “hackers”. While WebStat is supplied with the best available internal protection, a network “firewall” must be used if Internet access is provided. Review the Internet, LAN, or WAN provisions for installation and determine the appropriate firewall requirements.
IMPORTANT
•When connecting WebStat to the Internet directly, or through a LAN or WAN, use of additional external security measures such as a “firewall” is strongly advised.
WebStat is compatible with IE 6.0 SP2. Suggested screen resolution is 1024x768 pixels.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, ensure you have the following:
•WebStat W7350A1000 Mounting and Wiring Instructions Document
•WebStat
•Power Adapter
•LON Connector
•Ethernet CAT 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors
•Laptop/PC that will be used to perform initial configuration
•When connecting WebStat directly to the Internet from a cable/DSL modem with no network, a firewall must be established by adding a router. (Simple switches and hubs are insufficient.)
•Most routers used with cable/DSL modems provide a significant level of hardware protection and network address translation (NAT), and have the ability to implement a software firewall as well. Such routers are widely available at nominal cost.
Generally, local and wide area networks have sophisticated firewall protection and it is necessary to work with a network administrator to install WebStat properly. Network reconfiguration might be needed to support WebStat. If the installer or end user does not have the expertise required to determine the network capabilities or to set up an appropriate firewall, consult a network specialist.

IMPORTANT
•Networks configured with the Microsoft® Windows® Network Setup Wizard as a proxy server (the recommended wizard procedure) may not support WebStat.
•Installing WebStat in such a network requires reconfiguring the network for peer-to peer operation.
WebStat has been designed with many features to promote Internet security. The most basic is the user ID and password access to the system. WebStat has a default user ID and password for initial installation. After installation, each individual user is provided with a unique ID and password. Internet best practices recommend IDs and passwords that are eight characters or more in length with a mix of alpha and numeric characters. Best practices also require individual users to change passwords periodically. As with any system, when personnel changes occur, old IDs and passwords must be deleted and new ones assigned.
WebStat closes all unused internal software access ports. It is designed to allow access through HTTP and Niagara FOX ports during normal system operation.
Initial setup of WebStat requires a PC to be physically connected to WebStat’s Ethernet port. When configuration is completed, remove the PC – WebStat Ethernet connection.
NOTE: Future upgrades and service packs for WebStat will be available on the Internet.
Setup Information Requirements
Specific information about the network is required to configure the network interface of WebStat. The section titled Setup Data Descriptions identifies the data required for each configuration option. This information should be gathered prior to setting up WebStat. Appendix A is provided to record and collect all applicable data required to configure WebStat.
In local area network/wide area network (LAN/WAN) applications, the data required will be provided by the network administrator.
Static or Dynamic Address Option
It is necessary to provide an IP (Internet Protocol) address for WebStat in order to communicate with it.
WebStat supports both static and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) IP addressing. A static IP address is one that is permanently assigned to WebStat and is provided by the ISP or LAN/WAN network administrator.
A dynamic IP address is one that is assigned by another network device (DHCP Server) and can change based on rules established for the network.
CAUTION
It is not suggested to use DHCP addressing mechanism. The IP address is dynamically assigned to WebStat. Unless the IP address is known, WebStat cannot be accessed. DHCP addressing mechanism should be used only when there is a way to know the IP address assigned to WebStat such as DHCP logs and Router Administration User Interface.
Uniform Resource Locator
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is required to address WebStat with Microsoft® Internet Explorer. In many installations, the URL will be routed through a Dynamic Name Service (DNS) to address WebStat. However, DNS is not required for installations using an Ethernet DHCP address. If DNS is used, the information for WebStat setup data must be obtained prior to setup. This can require obtaining a registered domain name from a Domain Name registration service. The information should be available from the facility’s network administrator and/or ISP. The processes for setting up DNS service vary depending on the ISP, DNS service, and the user’s LAN/WAN operating policies and are beyond the scope of this document.
Using a DNS address, the URL is in the form of protocol: //FullyQualifiedDomainName/resource (See definitions below).
Alternatively, you can use the IP Address to access WebStat. The URL will be in the form of protocol: //IP_Address (See definitions below).
WebStat URL COMPONENT DEFINITIONS
• protocol = http
IMPORTANT
The protocol must be entered as ‘http’. Entering incorrect protocol results in an error message, “The page cannot be displayed”. Internet Explorer defaults to the http protocol which results in the error message FullyQualifiedDomainName (FQDN) = hostname.domainname
•domain.name = the domain name assigned by the ISP or network administrator.
—The domain name must be registered if it is to be used through the Internet.
—WebStat installed in a LAN/WAN must be provided by the network administrator.
—WebStat installed in a small network using a Cable/ DSL router can require configuring the router DMZ or port redirection to provide access.
•hostname = the host name for WebStat (host) assigned by the installer during configuration. Refer to Setup Data for Configuration Options.
•IP address = the static IP address assigned by the ISP, network administrator, or the dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP host.

Setup Data for Configuration Options
There are two network configuration options. Table 1 captures the data required for each type of configuration. The Setup Data Descriptions section describes each configuration data prompt with an indication of where the data can be obtained.
If the installer is not familiar with the processes required to configure network devices, consult a networking specialist.
