WebStat W7350A is a web-based building manager that
leverages the Niagara
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.
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
• 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.
• 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.
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).
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.
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.
