1 Quick-Start/Commissioning
Just a few steps are required to start up your W&T Web-Thermo­Hygrobarograph and to make it visible in your network.
1.1 Connecting the power supply 57612
Connect the AC adaptor provided to the terminal provided for the 12-24V AC/DC operating power. Polarity does not need to be observed.
1.2 PoE power supply 57613
The Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph PoE 57613 is designed for use in PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) environments in accordance with IEEE802.3af. Power is provided by the network infrastructure using the RJ45 terminal. The device supports both phantom power using data pairs 1/2 and 3/6 as well as power feed using the unused wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8.
To enable power management for the supplying components, the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph is identified as a Power Class 1 device with a power consumption of 0.44 to 3.84W.

W&T
Subject to errors and changes
As an alternative to PoE power supply, the Web-Thermo­Hygrobarograph PoE can also be powered by an external power supply connected to the screw terminals on the underside of the housing. DC voltage of any polarity as well as AC voltage may be used.
!
Use of the model Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph PoE is also possible in networks without PoE power supply. In
this case simply use an external power supply attached to the screw terminal as described above. No additional configurations or settings are necessary.
1.3 Connecting the temperature-humidity-air pressure
sensor
Plug the sensor included in the scope of delivery into the 9-pin IO terminal on the unit.

1.5 Assigning the IP address using „WuTility“
Once the hardware has been connected to the supply voltage as described above, you must assign the IP address needed for operation in a TCP/IP network. You can obtain the correct value for this parameter from your system administrator.
!
The IP address must be unique throughout the network.
There are various ways of assigning the IP address. To make it as convenient as possible, we have developed the „WuTility“ tool, which you can download from the WuT homepage at http://www.wut.de. This procedure is described in the following. A summary of the alternatives can be found in the Appendix to this manual under 7.1.
Be sure that the PC you are using to assign the IP address is located in the same sub-network as the module and that both the PC and the module are connected to the network.
When it starts, WuTility automatically searches the local network for connected W&T network devices and generates an inventory list. This search process can be repeated manually as often as desired by clicking the Scan button:
Select from the displayed list your Web-Thermo­Hygrobarograph based on the MAC address:
10
W&T
Click on the „IP address“ symbol:
In the resulting window enter the desired network parameters for the device and confirm by clicking on „Continue“.
The DHCP client of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph can be activated in the following window.
Clicking on the Continue button assigns the network parameters to the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph. All the columns in the device list in WuTility are filled with information. After clicking on the globe in the WuTility menu list your standard browser is opened and you will see the start page for the device.

1.6 IP assignment using DHCP protocol
Many networks use DHCY (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or its predecessor BOOTP described in the following section for centralized, dynamic assignment of network parameters. By default DHCP protocol is activated, so that in network environments with dynamic IP assignment you only need to connect the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph to the network. The following parameters can be assigned using DHCP:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway address
• DNS server
• Lease time
1
To prevent undesired address assignment
or address changes, we recommend deactivating DHCP, BOOTP and RARP unless these are expressly used in the respective network environment. Web-Thermo-Hygrobaro­graphs with incorrectly assigned IP address can be conveniently found and reconfigured after the fact using the scan function of the WuTility management tool.
1.6.1 Activating/deactivating DHCP
By default DHCP is activated. The following methods are available for deactivating or later reactivating DHCP protocol.
Management tool WuTility
Select the desired Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph from the device list and click on the IP address button. In the first dialog window enter the new network parameters and then click on Next.
12
W&T
In the following dialog window deactivate the options BOOTP and DHCP. Click on Next to send the new configuration data to the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph.
Serial interface
As part of serial IP assignment you can specify the following options for deactivating/activating the DHCP and BOOTP protocols directly following the address string:
-0 r Deactivates DHCP and BOOTP
-1 r Activates BOOTP/RARP
-2 r Activates DHCP
A detailed description of this procedure can be found in the section Alternative IP address assignment 7.1
Web Based Management
In Config r Device r Basic Settings r Network you can alternately activate or deactivate both the protocols. Detailed information about this can be found in section Assigning the basic network parameters 1.5.
1.6.2 System Name
To support any automated updating of the DNS system by the DHCP server, the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph identifies itself within the DHCP protocol with its system name. The factory setting for this is WEBIO- followed by the last three places of the Ethernet address. For example, the default system name of a Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph having Ethernet address 00:c0:3d:01:02:03 is WEBIO-010203. The system name of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph can be changed using Web Based Management.

1.6.3 Lease time
The lease time determined and sent by the DHCP server specifies how long the IP address will remain in use. After half the lease time has expired the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph attempts to extend the time for the assigning DHCP server and to update the address. If this is not possible by the time the lease time expires, for example because the DHCP server can no longer be reached, the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph deletes the IP address and starts a cyclical search for alternative DHCP servers in order to assign a new IP address.
Because the clock is missing, the lease time associated with the current IP address is no longer available after a reset. Therefore, after the restart an update query is generated for the original DHCP server. If it is not available at this time, the Web-Thermo­Hygrobarograph deletes the IP address and starts a cyclical search for alternative DHCP servers.
If DHCP is activated, the remaining lease time together with the current IP address is shown in seconds in the menu branch
Home r Doc r Property.
1
If after the assigned lease time has expired the DHCP
server cannot be reached, the Web-Thermo-Hygrobaro­graph deletes its IP address. All existing TCP/UDP connections between the Web-Thermograph and other network clients are closed. To prevent disturbances of this kind, we recommend setting the lease time in the DHCP server to infinite.
14
W&T
1.6.4 Reserved IP addresses
The Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph provides services which can make use of other clients in the network as needed. To open a connection they of course need the current IP address of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph, so that in these applications it makes sense to reserve a particular IP address for the Web-Ther­mo-Hygrobarograph on the DHCP server. As a rule this is done by joining the IP address to the worldwide unique Ethernet address of the device, which can be found on the sticker on the housing.
1.6.5 Dynamic IP addresses
Fully dynamic IP address assignment, in which the Web-Ther­mo-Hygrobarograph gets a different IP address after each restart or after the lease time has expired, is only useful in network environments with automatic cross-connection between the DHCP and DNS services. This means when a new IP address is assigned to the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph, the DHCP server then automatically updates the DNS system as well. The new address is assigned to the respective domain name. For detailed information about your network environment, consult your system administrator if in doubt.
Dynamic, changing IP addresses can also be used for time server queries, sending of e-mails or other client applications in which the device itself searches for active connection to server services located in the network.
