OW-Server
Quick Start Guide
Getting started with the OW-SERVER is simple. Just follow a few steps:
1. Apply power to the OW-SERVER. The green PWR/ACT LED will begin to flash at one second intervals, indicating
that the product is operating normally.
2. Connect it to your Network. Connect a live network cable to the Ethernet Port on the device. The green LED on the
Ethernet connector will illuminate, indicating a valid network connection. The yellow LED on the Ethernet connector
blinks only when there is network traffic.
For the OW-SERVER-WiFi-2, you will need to connect to the device wirelessly in order to assign it your wireless
network’s SSID.
3. Connect a 1-Wire Device. Connect a supported 1-Wire device to any of the 1-Wire RJ12 connectors.
4. Determine the IP address of the OW-SERVER. You need the IP address in order to access the on-board web
application for device configuration. If the OW-SERVER does not find a DHCP server running on your network, it will
default to the following IP address: 169.254.1.1.
Note: if you are using an OW-SERVER- WiFi-2, it will automatically look for a network with the SSID of EDSWiFi. If it
does not find this SSID, it will default to 169.254.1.1 and create an ad-hoc wireless network named EDSWiFi.
5. Configure your device. Type the OW-SERVER’s IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.27) into your browser. Select the
link on the left called “WEB Setup”. When the name and password is requested, enter “admin” for the name and
“eds” for the password.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully installed your Embedded Data Systems’ OW-SERVER. Please keep reading

OW-Server
to obtain an understanding of the function of each of the web pages served by the OW-SERVER
Some things to keep in mind:
If you are employing an OW-SERVER-WiFi, you will need to connect to it as a device and then access it via its
internally-assigned IP address (169.254.1.1) in order to configure it with your networkʼs SSID and security
information.

OW-Server
Interface
The OW-SERVER has two forms of interface:
•Web—the on-board web application that provides real-time access of monitoring data
•Programmatic—the methods by which to interface directly with monitoring data Physical
Web
Each OW-SERVER includes an integrated web-server that provides access to monitored data from any Internet
connected device such as a web-browser on your PC, smartphone, or even an iPad®!
The Web interface provides you an easy way to configure the OW-SERVERʼs network settings and is accessible by
navigating to the DHCP-assigned address. When you connect the OW-SERVER to your network it will automatically
request an IP address from an available DHCPserver.
Simply open a web browser and enter that URL to access the web monitoring application.
The web interface provides the following menu items:
•Overview—the default, opening screen that provides a snapshot of connected devices and OW-SERVER information
•Devices—displays detailed information about each device connected to the OW-SERVER
•WEB Setup—provides access to configuration fields for activating direct control of the 1-Wire bus through TCP
using an ASCII based command set
•1-Wire Setup—provides access to configuration fields for activating direct control of the 1-Wire bus via TCP using
ASCII based command set
•POST Client Setup—specifies a URL where the OW-SERVER can send XML data from connected 1-Wire devices on a
timed basis; handled through HTTP Post

OW-Server
•WiFi—provides the WiFi network configuration settings
Note: If your network does not have a DHCP server, the OW-SERVER will default to a self assigned address of
169.254.1.1. In the event of this situation, you will need to temporarily reconfigure your computerʼs network
settings to be on the same network as the OW-SERVER in order to talk to the device for the first time. Only when the
OW-SERVER is in the same address space as your other computers can you access it via a browser.
Configuration
Any configuration of your OW-SERVER can be carried out through the integrated web application. The on board, web
based tools provide a method to configure both the unit itself as well as any attached supported 1-Wire devices.
To access the configuration elements, Navigate to the IP Address your network has assigned to the OW-SERVER. This
will open the web interface.
From the default “Overview” screen, you can access the three configuration options using the left-hand menu:

OW-Server
The WEB Setup provides a number of fields to configure how the OW-SERVER operates within your network. This
section of the manual covers both the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 and OW-SERVER-WiFi-2.
Note: In order to access this portion of the web tool, you will need a username and password. If you have not set it
previously, you can use the factory default user name of “admin”, and password of “eds” (all in lower case).

OW-Server
OW-SERVER-ENET-2
You can configure the following aspects of the OW-SERVER-ENET-2:
Device name—the factory default is OW-SERVER-ENET-2. However this is a user definable name, maximum 24
characters. Alphanumeric characters, dashes, periods, spaces and underscores are permitted. This flexibility allows
you to distinguish a device by its location or function for clarity. This field is included in the XML file.
User name—this is the user name, case-sensitive maximum 12 characters, used to access the configuration sections
of the on-board web tool and the Telnet interface. Upper case and lowercase Alphanumeric Characters permitted.
The factory default is "admin".
Password—this is the password used to access the configuration sections of the on board web tool and the Telnet
interface. Uppercase and lowercase Alphanumeric Characters permitted. The factory default is "eds".
Password—confirms the password entered in the previous password field.
Host Name—the factory default name for the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 is EDSOWSERVER. You can change the name but it
is limited to 16 UPPERCASE characters. This field is also printed in the XML file
Enable DHCP—check this box to automatically enable the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to receive an IP address and other
network configuration information (such as gateway and subnet mask) from a DHCP provider on your network.
Note: this is the factory default setting of the device. If you elect NOT to enable DHCP, you must manually provide
network adapter settings for the device:
•IP Address—a standard IPV4 address. Note: if you configure the device with an IP Address that is NOT a part of
your network IP-range or class you will be unable to access the device unless connected directly to it with a
computer configured with the same IP settings
•Gateway—the IP address of your network gateway
•Subnet Mask—the Subnet mask
•Primary DNS—the IP address of the primary DNS server
•Secondary DNS—the IP Address of a secondary DNS server. Note: this is optional
•HTTP Port—the port through which the OW-SERVER will listen for incoming HTTP requests. Normally programmed
to 80
Save—when you have finished making settings, click the “Save” button to commit the settings to the device. This will
cause the device to reboot
Note: at the time of initial boot-up, the device will look for a DHCP server. If one cannot be found, the following
default configuration settings will be applied:

OW-Server
OW-SERVER-WiFi
Upon power-up, the OW-SERVER-WiFi-2 is configured from the factory to immediately look for a wireless network
with a SSID of EDSWiFi. If the device finds this network (and it is unsecured) the OW-SERVER-WiFi-2 will immediately
connect and attempt to gather network configuration information from an available DHCP server. This includes the
following information:
IP Address—a standard IPV4 address.
Note: if you configure the device with an IP Address that is NOT a part of your network IP-range or class you will be
unable to access the device unless connected directly to it with a computer configured with the same IP settings;
Gateway—the IP address of your network gateway
Subnet Mask—the Subnet mask
Primary DNS—the IP address of the primary DNS
Secondary DNS—the IP Address of a secondary DNS. Note: this is optional
If the device does not find a wireless network with a network SSID of EDSWiFi, you will need to connect to the device
to manually configure it.
Manually Configure the OW-SERVER-WiFi-2
In the event that your OW-SERVER-WiFi-2 does not find a wireless SSID of EDSWiFi, it will create an ad-hoc network
called EDSWiFi with the following network configuration settings:
• IP Address: 169.254.1.1
• Gateway: 169.254.1.1
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
• DNS: 169.254.1.1
In order to configure the OW-SERVER-WiFi-2, you will need to
connect directly to the ad-hoc network:
•Open your wireless network settings
•Click on the EDSWiFi network under the “Devices”
section of your wireless adapter.
•Once the network has connected, open your browser
and navigate to the default configuration IP Address:
169.254.1.1.
•
This will open the web based configuration application.

OW-Server
In order to get your OW-SERVER-WiFi onto your existing wireless network, you will need to configure its wireless
settings. To access the configuration screen:
Click on the “WiFi Setup” menu on the left-hand side. This will open the WiFi Configuration screen. You can specify
the following information to configure your OW-SERVER-WiFi:
WLAN Type—use the radio buttons to specify if your wireless network is an ad-hoc collection of devices or a wireless
infrastructure. Contact your network administrator to determine the appropriate setting
SSID Name—use the drop-down to select the SSID to which you want the OW-SERVER-WiFi to connect. In the event
that your wireless network does not broadcast its SSID, type in the name into the empty field. Contact your network
administrator to determine the appropriate setting.
Security Type—use the drop-down to select the type of security on your wireless network. The OW-SERVER-WiFi can
authenticate to wireless networks using the following security types:
o WPA (Personal)
o WEP (64 and 128-bit)
Security Key—enter the security key for the SSID selected. Contact your network administrator to determine the
appropriate setting.
Click the “Apply” button to commit the changes. If a security key has been entered, it may take up to 2 minutes
before the OW-SERVER-WiFi becomes accessible on the new network.
Once the changes have been applied, you can connect to the wireless network that the OW-SERVER-WiFi is joining
and utilize either your DHCP lease tables or the EDS Appliance Scanner Software to find the deviceʼs new IP address.
The IP address enables access through a web browser.
EDSWiFi SSID Found
In the event that the OW-SERVER-WiFi finds a wireless SSID of EDSWiFi,
Use either your DHCP lease tables or the EDS Appliance Scanner Software to find the deviceʼs IP address
Open your browser and navigate to the IP Address returned from the previous step. This will open the web-based
configuration application.
You can make changes to the deviceʼs WiFi configuration details by choosing the “WiFi Setup” menu option on the
left-hand side, then specifying the configuration information discussed previously.
