Overview
COE-8 is a system for transporting switch closure information over a TCP/IP network. The COE-8
consists of two devices, and Transmitter Unit (COE-8I) and a Receiver Unit (COE-8O). The COE-8I
provides 8 inputs for switch contacts, relay closures or DC Voltage. Upon a change of state for any
channel, it will transmit a message to one or more (up to 32) COE-8O units. The COE-8O has eight
relays that will mirror the status of the eight inputs of the COE-8I. Each unit can be monitored and
configured from a Web Browser.
Each channel of the COE-8I is independently configurable, allowing selection of what IP addresses to
deliver to and on what channel. Highly flexible telemetry systems can be developed with these simple
devices. The COE-8system also supports SNMP for independent monitoring and control. Up to 4 SNMP
managers can be configured to support the COE-8.

Hardware Installation
Inputs (COE-8I)
Connect the inputs to the COE-8Iusing the screw terminals on
the printed circuit card, as illustrated. Inputs can be either dry
relay or switch contacts, or a +VDC voltage (3 to 30 V),
referenced to a common ground.
Status Dry Relay DC Voltage
Open Open >3VDC
Closed Closed <=0VDC
Input Specification Dry Contact (common ground)
or Wet ±30VDC Max
Relays (COE-8O)
Connect the inputs to the COE-8I using the screw terminals on
the printed circuit card, as illustrated. Relays are Form A.
Relay Specifications
Rating (resistive) 0.5 A 120 VAC or 1 A 24 VDC
Maximum Carrying Current 2 A
Maximum Switching Power 60 AV, 24 W
Maximum Switching Voltage 120 VAC/60 VDC
Maximum Switching Current 1A
Life Expectancy: 5 Million Operations Mechanical
100K Operations at rated load
Network
Connect the network to the connector provided. A yellow LED
indicates a successful connection to the network, a green LED
data activity.
Power
Apply power only when the cover is secured onto the COE-8. Use
only the wall mounted power supply provided. For applications
outside the US use Dataprobe Power Supply 1930044.

Initial Power UP
The COE-8 requires a 1 minute boot-up process. During this time, you should not attempt to access
the unit at all. To do so might result in database corruption. Remove the network connection for 1
minute whenever powering up the COE-8 units
WEB Page Access
The web pages provide status information on the inputs and outputs of the COE-8, as well as provide
configuration for the unit. Open a browser to the default or current IP address of the unit. Enter the
default username and password:
Factory Defaults:
IP Address 192.168.1.254
Username admin
Password admin
The unit will display the current status of each of the channels and provide buttons for Refresh, Setup
and Logout.

Configuration
Setting I/P Address
The COE-8 units provide two methods for setting the IP Address
1) Static IP via the Web Page Setup
2) DHCP
WEB Page
Login to the COE-8 and access the Setup pages by clicking on the Setup button from the home page.
Click on the IP button to bring up the IP Settings page:
Select Static Mode from the radio buttons and fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway as
provided by your network administrator. Click Apply to save the changes. You will then be prompted to
reboot the COE-8. Click on the Reboot button. The COE-8 will reboot and the new IP address will be
ready to be accessed.
DHCP
Selecting DHCP from the IP Setup page allows a DHCP server to provide IP address information to the
COE-8. Click Apply and then Reboot when prompted. The COE-8 will reboot and will have to be
accessed with the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. If no IP address is assigned by a DHCP
server, the original IP address will be retained.

COE-8Page 5
Setup
The Setup button from the Home page provides access to all the configuration of the COE-8. The
Setup area is divided into several pages:
Device Page:
Basic setup of the COE-8, IP address and TCP/IP settings
Name Assign a name up to 20 characters to help identify the COE-8
IP Address Set the IP Address manually in the Static Mode (see below)
IP Modes Set the method to configure the IP address. See section above for details.
§Static: Manually entered IP address information
§DHCP: IP address obtained upon power up from DHCP server.
Port Settings The IP Setup page also allows for changing of the port assignment for both the Control
communication and web page access. Dataprobe recommends changing the Web port for units that
will be connected to the Internet. This will minimize the number of hacker attacks that the COE-8 will be
subject to.
The Control Port for both the COE-8Iand all COE-8Os that receive status from it must be set the
same.
If a port other than the default Port 80 is used for web browser access, that port must specifically be
used in the URL when accessing the COE-8. For example, if the Web Port is changed to 9090 then the
URL for the unit would be http://192.168.1.254:9090
Receivers (COE-8IOnly)
Transmission Frequency 0 to 9999 seconds
This sets the frequency that the COE-8Itransmits its status to the receivers. When set to 0,
transmission will only occur upon change of status.
Receiver IP Address Set up to 32 IP addresses of the COE-8O units that will have input status
information set to them. If you wish to send the same input channel status to two different channels on
any one COE-8O, then that IP address must be entered twice in the table.
Inputs (COE-8IOnly)
The COE-8I can send individual input status to multiple COE-8O receivers, or other IP address. This
page provides for selecting which output of the COE-8Os will be operated by each input of the COE-8I.
Select the Input from the drop down box, then configure the Name for that input, along with the channel
of each COE-8O unit to receive the status. Click Apply after each channel is configured.
Use Output 0 if no output of a given COE-8O is to be used for that channel. Configure each of the 8
inputs as necessary.

COE-8Page 6
SNMP
The COE-8 can be monitored and configured via SNMP managers. Download the MIB at
http://dataprobe.com/files/mibs/coe8.mib
Enter the IP addresses of up to 4 SNMP managers. Enable or Disable SNMP with the checkbox
provided. Traps can be sent every time there is a change of state on any COE-8 channel. Check the
box provided to enable this. If both the COE-8I and COE-8O are configured to send traps, two
messages will be received by each SNMP manager for each event.
Passwords
Two username and password sets allow for two types of users:
User Type Default Username / Password Access
Administrator admin / admin Full view and setup
General User user / user View status only
Click Apply to save the new usernames and passwords.
