With Expert Power Control NET 8x (EPC NET 8x) electrical
devices can be switched via a TCP/IP network. There are only
two steps necessary for installation: The connection to an elec-
tric circuit and a TCP/IP network and the conguration of the IP
settings. Afterwards EPC NET 8x can be switched by all PCs of
the network.

3.2 Network conguration by GBL_Conf.exe
For changing the network properties manually, the program
GBL_Conf.exe is required. This tool is available for free on our
website www.gude.info.
Furthermore GBL_Conf.exe enables you to install rmware up-
dates and to reset EPC NET 8x to its factory settings (see 5.2).
Activate bootloader mode of EPC NET 8x and run GBL_
Conf.exe (see 5.1). The program will look automatically for con-
nected devices and will display their network conguration.
If the displayed IP address accords with the factory settings
(192.168.0.2), there is either no DHCP server available in the
network or no free IP address could be allocated.
Enter a free IP address and the according netmask in the entry
mask, then save these changes by clicking on Program Device
gSaveCong.
Restart EPC NET 8x by
switching it off and on again,
so that the changes will take
effect. Now click on Search
in order to have the new
network conguration dis-
played.
3. Conguration
3.1 Automatic conguration by DHCP
After switch-on EPC NET 8x looks for a DHCP server and re-
quests an available IP address (for deactivation of that feature
see 2.2).
Please check the IP adress allocated to EPC NET 8x in the
DHCP server settings to make sure that the same address is
used at every reboot.

The Power Port’s switching state
after a power-on of EPC NET 8x
can be dened here (on, off, re-
member last state).
If switching on after power-up,
wait ...
A switching delay of a Power Port can be dened here that is
applied after switch on of EPC NET 8x. The delay can last up to

Conguration - IP Address
Hostname
Enter the host name of EPC
NET 8x. EPC NET 8x uses
this name to connect with
DHCP server.
Special signs may destabi-
lize your network.
IP Address
Here you can change the IP
address of EPC NET 8x.
Netmask
Here you can change the netmask of EPC NET 8x.
Gateway
Here you can change the standard gateway of EPC NET 8x.
Use DHCP
Here you can set, if EPC NET 8x shall get its TCP/IP settings
directly from your DHCP server. If DHCP is activated, EPC NET
8x proves if a DHCP server is active inside of your LAN. Then
EPC NET 8x requests TCP/IP settings from this server. If there is
no DHCP server inside of your network, we recommend to deac-
tivate this function.
