Introduction
The i-on40 has an Ethernet connector on
the main printed circuit board (pcb) that
you can use to connect a PC or laptop
directly to the control unit.
When your PC or laptop is connected to the
i-on40, they communicate with each other
using TCP/IP, the same protocol used on
the Internet. The i-on40 contains a web
server. Once connected you can use the
web browser on the PC or laptop to see
pages provided by the web server, and use
those pages to configure the control unit.
To set up the connection you must:
1. Give the i-on40 control unit a fixed
IP (internet protocol) address.
2. On the PC or laptop, change the
settings for you local network connection to
provide a fixed IP address.
3. Adjust your browser so that it does
not attempt to use a proxy server.
The rest of this guide shows you how to
carry out those three steps.
Note: These instructions are for Windows
XP. If you are using another operating
system please consult the appropriate
manual.

Changing the PC
Network Connection
To change the network connection settings
on your PC or laptop you must be logged in
with an account that has administrator
privileges.
Many TCP/IP networks use DHCP (Dynamic
Host Control Protocol) to assign an IP
address to each PC every time the PCs start
up. The i-on40 does not provide DHCP, and
so you must give your PC or laptop a fixed
IP address that it can use while connected
to the i-on40. This address must be
different from the one you gave the i-on40
on page 2.
There are two ways of doing this: Either a)
You can give your PC or laptop a fixed IP
address that it uses all the time (until you
change it again). OR b) You can give your
PC or laptop an alternate IP address that it
uses when it cannot get an IP address from
a DHCP server.
Setting a Fixed IP
Address
1. Go to the Windows Start button, find
Control Panel and then open the
Network Connections window.
2. Right click on the Local Area Connection
icon and select Properties.
3. Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
entry and click on Properties.

Page 4
4. Make sure the radio button “Use the
following IP address” is checked.
5. a) Key an IP address (different from the
e one you gave the control unit).
c) Key in a subnet mask (for example
255.255.255.0).
6. Click OK, twice
7. Close the Network Connections window.
Using the Alternate
Connection
If you have your laptop normally connected
to a local area network (for example in your
office) but occasionally use it for
programming an i-on40, then you may not
wish to change the IP settings every time
you want to connect the laptop to the i-
on40. Windows allows you to store an
alternate IP address for you laptop, which it
will use if it cannot get an IP address for
itself using DHCP.
To set up an alternate IP address:
1. Go to the Windows Start button, find
Control Panel and then open the
Network Connections window.
2. Right click on the Local Area Connection
icon and select Properties.

3. Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
entry and click on Properties.
4. Click the Alternate Configuration tab.
5. Make sure the radio button “User
configured” is checked.
6. a) Key an IP address (different from the
e one you gave the control unit).
c) Key in a subnet mask (for example
255.255.255.0).
7. Click OK, followed by Close.
8. Close the Network Connections window.

Making Changes to the
Control Unit
When you change a value on the screen,
you must click Apply (or Submit) to transfer
those changes from the PC to the control
unit. If you navigate away from the screen
(by going to another part of the Installer
Menu) without clicking Apply or Submit
then the changes will be lost.
When you click Apply or Submit the i-on40
stores a temporary copy of your changes. If
you were to remove power from the control
unit at this point then your changes will be
lost. To make the changes permanent you
must click “Save changes to panel”:
Saving and Loading
Profiles

control unit, and would like to apply the
same setup to another control unit later,
then you can save to disk the complete
configuration of the control unit you are
currently connected to.

you can find your previously saved
configuration file.
Don’t forget that in order to put the new
configuration onto the control unit you
must click on “Save changes to panel”.
Real Time Monitoring

doing while you are connected to it, click on
one of the options in the Real Time Data
menu.
Zones will show you the type, partition of
all the zones, the resistance of wired zones
