Web Relay Communications
Web Relay Communications are easy and effective and can be used to control or test your board from anywhere in the world without the need for custom programming. Our ZETH-NET modules give you the power to control electronics from anywhere in the world using built-in Internet Browser Based Interfaces and the flexibility to customize the open-source software for yourself.
You can Demo This Interface Now at http://www.signalswitch.com:8080/ and control a Live Board here in our office.
There are two different types of Web Relay Communications: LAN Access and Remote Internet Access via SignalSwitch.
LAN Access
LAN is short for Local Area Network. For most people your LAN is any device that is connected to your router. This means to access the device users will need to be connected to your local network.
First you will need to connect an Ethernet Cable that is hooked into your network to your device and THEN connect the power.
To connect to this device via LAN simply open the
NCD Configuration Utility and find the IP Address in the menu that should pop up automatically (if you have multiple devices you'll need to match the MAC Addresses printed on the top of the Ethernet Modules to the IP Address to access that device).
Once you have the IP Address put it into the URL/Address Bar at the top of your browser (
Firefox and
Internet Explorer are the suggested browsers) and hit enter. You will be prompted for a password. That's it! You should now be able to control your relays, monitor your A/D Inputs.
Remote Internet Access
Remote Internet Access allows you to control your Relays from anywhere in the world. It is a little more complicated than LAN Access but not too much so.
First you will need to connect an Ethernet Cable that is hooked into your network or to the internet directly to your device and
THEN connect the power.
Once that is done, open the
NCD Configuration Utility and find the IP Address (if you have multiple devices you'll need to match the MAC Addresses printed on the top of the Ethernet Modules to the IP Address to access that device).
Once you have the IP Address put it into the URL/Address Bar at the top of your browser (once again Firefox and Internet Explorer are the suggested browsers) and hit enter.
You will be prompted for a password. Go to the Configure section in the Left Navigation. From there make sure that SignalSwitch.com option is checked at the top.
Now if your ZETH-NET module is connected through a router you will need to set up your router for port forwarding to the ZETH-NET's IP Address. Port Forwarding will be different for each router so you may have to contact your router manufacturer for instructions.
Port 80 is the default port for http protocols and should only be changed if there is a reason. If you do change this setting make sure that you change it on the Device as well as the port forwarding settings on the router.
We also recommend reserving the IP Address of your device on your router and using the current IP Address of the Device as its Fixed IP Address to prevent DHCP from changing your IP Address or assigning multiple devices the same IP Address.
Once that is done, go to link.signalswitch.com and enter the MAC Address (printed on the top of the ZETH-NET Module).
You should now have access to the device as if you were on the same LAN Network as it. Here's a breakdown of what each page does:
- Relays - Controls your Relays
- A/D - Monitors your A/D Inputs
- Console - Allows you to send any NCD Supported command to the device
- Network - View the MAC and IP Address of your Device
- Configure - Advanced Options
- Check Boxes at the top
- NCD Network Component - Allows or Disallows direct TCP/IP Communications through port 2101
- SignalSwitch.com - Allows or Disallows communications with SignalSwitch.com (needed for Remote Internet Access)
- Web Page - Allows or Disallows control of the Relays via browser
- Change Relay Labels
- Change A/D Labels
- Change Password
- Set Up Fixed IP Address (Recommended that you reserve this IP Address through your Router)
- Change the port Number that SignalSwitch.com will communicate to this device through (for advanced users)
- Logout - Logs Out of the device
Wi-Fi Adapter Available
Make these Ethernet controllers Wi-Fi compatible by simply connecting the Netgear WNCE2001 Universal Wireless Internet Adapter. The WNCE2001 will
connect any of these Web Relay devices to an existing 802.11 wireless network. Installation couldn't be easier with Netgear's CD-less, wireless installation. The Netgear WNCE2001 can be purchased on your own or select the Wi-Fi option at checkout to add to your order.
