3. Connection to a Cable/DSL Router This is the most ideal situation in that it allows you to access your STARGATE via the Web Xpander from your home network as well as anywhere on the internet once you’ve configured both the Web Xpander and your router. In most cases, the router will also act as a DHCP server and provide the initial network settings for the Web Xpander. Network Configuration Every device on a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are always

Viewing Current Network Settings You can use the “:netinfo=” command to view the current network settings of the Web Xpander using WinEVM. From the MegaController screen, click ASCII and send the command “:netinfo=” (no quotes) out of the controller to COM1. The network settings should appear in the MegaController log window. If your PC and Web Xpander are connected through a Cable/DSL router and your PC and router are already configured to use addresses in the range displa

Web Xpander Labeler The Web Xpander Labeler is a Windows utility that reads your device names from WinEVM and imports them into the Web Xpander. To install, run WebXlabel.exe located on the CD-ROM (the latest version is always available on the JDS Technologies web site). After you’ve used this tool to import your custom labels, your defined device names will appear on the web pages. The Web Xpander only shows data for devices that you have named/labeled in WinEVM or have manually def

Appendix B – Sending Email with the Web Xpander Sending email with the Web Xpander is accomplished by sending ASCII commands from the controller (i.e. STARGATE) to the Web Xpander’s serial port. The example below demonstrates sending an email when the alarm is disarmed. EVENT: Send Email When Alarm Disarmed If Partition Not ARMED [Partition 1] TRANSITION Then ASCII-Out: ':mailto=mycellphone@yahoo.com' [COM1] ASCII-Out: ':mailfrom=myhouse@home.com' [COM1] ASCII-Out: ':

Appendix C – Managing a Dynamic Home Internet Address Accessing the Web Xpander from the internet (i.e. outside your home network) requires router specific settings and configuration. Once you’ve properly routed incoming connections on port 80, for example, to the Web Xpander you need to know the IP address of your cable modem or DSL modem to connect to your location from the internet. One easy way to determine your IP address is to start a web browser on an internet enabled PC withi

Appendix D – Ethernet to Serial Bridge Functionality The Web Xpander provides a method of sending/receiving serial data to/from the STARGATE via the Ethernet port using Telnet. Telnet is a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks. A telnet application comes with Microsoft Windows but you can also download other versions from the internet such as MochaSoft Telnet (http://www.mochasoft.dk). The Web Xpander listens for incoming connections on a configurable port. The default tel

Appendix E – Downloading WinEVM Schedules over a Network Connection WinEVM has been successfully run over a network connection to the STARGATE using a product called COM/IP, distributed by PC Micro Systems. http://www.pcmicro.com/comip/. This allows downloading of schedules via the internet and/or local area network. COM/IP creates a virtual serial port / modem on your PC that when “dialed” is actually making a connection over the network. Once configured, you can use the WinEVM “D
