Accessing the Product
This product can be accessed either via an IP network or directly via the
management port (mini-USB). The web browser Internet Explorer 8.0™ or later is
recommended for accessing the product´s web interface.
Access via a Network with a DHCP Server
It is recommended that this product always gets the same IP address if it
communicates with other equipment, in order to prevent it from losing contact
with the equipment after a restart. Inform the network administrator about the
MAC address (found on a label on the products rear side) and ask to reserve a
fixed IP address in the DHCP server.
1 Connect the module to the LAN.
2 Connect the power supply. Starting up is indicated on the status LED with fast
flashing blue light.
3 When the starting up indication has stopped, open a web browser on your
computer and enter the address elise-XXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is the
module key number (starting zeros can be excluded).
The module key number can be found on a label on the products rear side, and
also in the separately ordered license certificate.

Safety and Regulatory Instructions for Elise3
Safety Instructions
For safe and efficient operation of the equipment, observe the guidelines given in
this manual and in the Installation Guide, and all necessary safety precautions
when using the equipment. Follow the operating instructions and adhere to all
warnings and safety precautions located on the product, and in the product
manuals.
Precautions
• Save this manual. It includes important safety information and operating
instructions. Save all instructions for future reference.
• Install all wiring according to local, state, and federal electrical code
requirements.
• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated power sources as marked on
the product.
•DANGER: Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection increases the risk of electric shock.
• Ensure the AC receptacle is installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
• Position the electrical cord to the AC power supply where it is least likely to be
subjected to damage or stress.
IMPORTANT: When mounting the device
on a wall the device should (to fulfil the fire
classification) be mounted so the position of
the connectors is in a vertical plane, i.e. on
the right and left side, see picture. Use
fasteners supplied with the system.
Four screws size 3,5×40 together with four
wall plugs, and four screws size M3×6, are delivered with the product. The
M3×6 screws are used for attaching the assembly brackets to the module. Use
the 3,5×40 screws for walls made of wood. For walls made of concrete and
bricks use them together with the wall plugs. For other types of walls use
suitable screws and plugs according to wall material.
For detailed mounting instructions refer to Installation Guide Elise3.
