LAN connection

  1. Connect your NETIO device to a LAN with a network cable (RJ45).
  2. Wait about 30 seconds until the device starts and address is provided from a DHCP server. If your network doesn’t have DHCP server continue to section “Static IP”. The WiFi is completely turned off in this case.
  3. Continue in section NETIO Discover below…

WiFi connection
WiFi is enabled only if Ethernet cable has not been connected yet!

  1. When the device is powered up for the first time, it enters the “AP mode” (Yellow WiFi LED flashing quickly).
  2. Connect from PC, tablet or smartphone, to WiFi “PowerCable-AP-xx”. (Figure 1)
  3. Device configuration page should open automatically. If not, open a web browser and enter http://10.0.42.1 You will see NETIO PowerCable WiFi configuration page. (Figure 2)NETIO-PowerCable-2KZ-Flat-Power-Distribution-Unit-fig-3
  4. Select your network in the list of detected networks and press “Next”. (Figure 3)
  5. Enter the password for the selected WiFi network. You may also change the device name. If your network does not use the DHCP, unselect this option and manually enter the IP address and other network parameters (for experts only). Confirm by pressing “Next”. (Figure 4)NETIO-PowerCable-2KZ-Flat-Power-Distribution-Unit-fig-4NETIO-PowerCable-2KZ-Flat-Power-Distribution-Unit-fig-5
  6. A page with the connection result is displayed. If it shows “WiFi status: Connected“, check the network parameters and then click “Save&Connect” to save the configuration. (Figure 5) The device then exits the AP mode, connects to the selected WiFi network, and displays a network configuration summary page. (Figure 6) WiFi connection is indicated with the yellow LED.NETIO-PowerCable-2KZ-Flat-Power-Distribution-Unit-fig-6
  7. The device is now connected to the selected WiFi network.

Note: Connection of the Ethernet cable turns WiFi off and the device communicates only on the LAN until the Reset to Factory defaults is performed. Ethernet interface (LAN) use different IP address.
