CommLink II and IP-Link Connection
The IP-Link (iLAN-100)provides aTCP/IPPort connectionfrom
the WattMaster control system to a building’s Ethernet LAN,
providing communications with the control system through any
computer (with Prism Software installed) connected to the LAN
or the Internet (if configured for access through your LAN’s
Internet Firewall).
Using standard TCP/IP Protocol, with WattMaster’s Prism
Software you are able to monitor and configure your controllers
without a modem or a direct connection from a PC. Utilizing
existing routers, proxies, or firewalls allows a PC running Prism
to connect to a controller in a remote accessible location or build-
ing. Several dialer/connection profiles can be created to facilitate
monitoring several sites.
System Overview
The IP-Link is a stand-alone network appliance that has been
adapted to connect the CommLink II (with IP-Link EPROM
chip) to a 10BaseT or 10/100 network connection. The IP-Link
will require an IP address on the local network or a routable
IP address provided by an ADSL or Cable modem if it is to be
accessed through the Internet. The PC will require a dialup or
Ethernet network connection to theInternet or localnetwork with
routes to the IP-Link. Check with your local IT Department in
regards to your network routing needs.
The TCP/IP connection itself is a TCP connection made on a
single port number and is static in nature. Firewall and proxy
servers can easily be configured to allow traffic to and from this
device. The nature of the data is raw in form and comprised of
packets native to Prism software. The IP-Link will respond to
ICMPtraffic (PING) for verification of proper configuration, but
Prism software is required in order to send and receive data to
the IP-Link and CommLink II.
System Requirements
To program the IP-Link to work with Prism, you will need:
• The Prism Software CD (supplied with the IP-Link)
• A PC with an RS-232 serial communications port
(supplied by others)
• Ethernet RJ-45 6 ft. long cable (supplied with the IP-
Link) or a longer RJ-45 Ethernet cable (supplied by
others) and an available port to connect the IP-Link to
the LAN
• Microsoft Windows 98, NT, 2000, or XP (must be
installed on the PC you are going to use)
• The IP-Link Connect One’s iChip Configuration
Software (Windows-based program on the supplied CD)
• IP-Link Serial Cable with two DB-9 connectors (and
one DB-25 connector for computers that require
a DB-25 instead of a DB-9 connector)—supplied with
the IP-Link
• An IPAddress, Subnet Mask, and GatewayAddress
for the IP-Link configured for your LAN by your
network administrator
• MiniLink or MiniLink Polling Device, connected to the
CommLink and Controller(s) and powered on
• CommLink II set to Multi-mode, connected to the
MiniLink or MiniLink Polling Device and powered on
• EPROM chip SS0058—Remove the old CommLink
Chip (SS0039) from the CommLink and replace it with
the IP-Link EPROM chip SS0058 (supplied)
NOTE: To quickly configure the IP-Link, you may enter all of
the required information in the Quick Setup Screen
of the iChip Configuration Software. Please note:
The IP-Link is also referred to as the iLAN 100 in the
software screens.

Programming
Programming the IP-Link
Connecting the IP-Link to your PC
1. Connect the IP-Link’s supplied 120/9 VAC power
supply to a 120/1/60 duplex outlet. Do not plug the
power supply into the IP-Link yet (you will do this in
Step 4).
2. Connect one DB-9 connector (or DB-25 connec-
tor if your computer requires one) to the serial port
connector on the IP-Link and connect the other DB-9
connector to COM1 or COM2 serial port on your PC.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet RJ-45 cable to the
IP-Link’s 10BaseT connector and connect the other
end to a 10BaseT port on your LAN.
4. Power on the IP-Link by connecting it to the power
supply cable.
5. Insert the CD in the CD drive of your PC. Run the
Setup.exe in the \Software directory to install the
configuration software.
Installing and Starting the iChip Config
Program
The iChip Config Program enables you to set the IP-Link’s IP
address and network mask. The gateway address is optional but
not necessary forproperoperation.To install the programfromthe
CD, simply install the setup.exe program found in the \Software
directory.After the program is installed, open it by clicking Start
->All Programs->ConnectOne->iChipConfig (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Connect One Directory
NOTE: iChip Config will try to connect to the IP-Link usingfirst
COM1 and then COM2, in that order.
Open the iChip Config Program. When the Connect One
device is found, the Main Menu will appear. (See Figure 2).

Operator Interface
Close this form and cycle power to the IP-Link. Click on Quick
Configure again (a restart of the program may be necessary) and
verify that the parameters entered are still correct. The saved
parameters will appear in the form boxes. (See Figure 4).
Programming
The Quick Configure Screen enables you to enter all
parameters needed to connect to the Internet/Intranet through a
10BaseT Ethernet LAN. From the Main Menu, click on Quick
Configure to enter the IP-Link Setup (see Figure 2). At this
point, the iChip LAN Quick Configuration Screen will appear
(see Figure 3). At this time, verify the Firmware version is dated
24.5.2004 or laterasshown andthat theBootBlock is0706.If this
is not the case, the firmware should be updated to ensure proper
operation. If the Firmware version and Boot Block are current,
enter the IPAddress and Subnet Mask. Leave the Use DHCPand
Use IP Finder boxes clear and the rest of the form blank. The
IP-Link doesn’t require any other parameters to be filled in on
the screen and may not function correctly if additional informa-
tion is entered. The factory default IP address 0.0.0.0 will cause
the IP-Link to get a valid IP address from any existing Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your network.
DHCP is not recommended unless a static reservation can be
made for the IP-Link’s MAC Address. When finished entering
parameters, click on the Save button, and the address and subnet
will be stored in flash memory.

NOTE: These parameters only serve as an example of what the
configuration could look like.Your IP addresses could be
different. Consult with your IT Department or Internet
service provider for your particular IP address settings.

Connecting the IP-Link/CommLink II
Network
See Figure 8 for connection of the IP-Link to your control
system and for information on installing the IP-Link EPROM
in the CommLink II.
Connectivity to a CommLink II through the network is
established when there is a route for TCP/IP traffic generated
from a PC running Prism Software to communicate with the
IP-Link-enabled CommLink II. The CommLink II must have
the appropriate EPROM chip installed (SS0058) to initiate the
process of opening communicationswith the IP-Linkand starting
the TCP port service.
Connecting the IP-Link to your network or Internet
connection is accomplished by connecting an Ethernet RJ-
45 cable to the Ethernet port on the front of the IP-Link and
connecting the other end to your existing network’s hubs or
switches. Another configuration may have the IP-Link connect
directly to the back of an ADSL or Cable Modem. In either
case, a link light should confirm a positive Ethernet connection.
Connecting the IP-Link to a CommLink II is accomplished
by connecting the serial cable with two DB9 connectors to the
back of the IP-Link and to the Remote Link or DTE port on the
back of the CommLink II. After powering up the two devices,
units will establish communication and there will be rapid and
continuous activity on the RLINK LED on the CommLink II.
This LED will blink non-stop and many times per second.
Connecting the Network
Prism Software Setup is done by opening the Job-Site List
& Connection Method Window. Select an empty row and enter
a Site Name in the Location and an IP Address. Leave the Port
and Phone Number settings blank for that row. Select the Site
Location as you would normally and select Go Online from the
Communications Menu.
Figure 7: Job-Site List and Connection List
NOTE: These parameters serve only as an example of what
the configuration could look like. Your IP address and
Location name could be different.

Figure 9: Example Network Diagram of a Firewall or Proxy Configuration
Proxy and Firewall Compatibility
Proxy and Firewall configurationsmay become necessary
when the IP-Linkisconnected toaLAN/WAN that is protectedby
a commercially available Firewall, Proxy, or NATenabled router.
Examples of these would include Cisco, NetGear, LinkSys, or
WatchGuard Technologies. Also, some ISPs provide IPAddress
ranges that are already fire-walled at the NOC or ISPHead-End.
Make sure that your IT Department or ISP can create a mapped
TCP port 39288 on your firewall/proxy to TCP port 39288 on
the assigned IPAddress of the IP-Link.
Only with proper configuration of the Firewall/Proxy are con-
nections to the IP-Link from outside of the local area network
going to be possible. Check that the Firewall/Proxy port is not
set to time out or reset after a specified amount of time passes
unless there is no traffic from the remote PC.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Procedures
Ethernet Connection Verify the LINK LED is lit on the
IP-Link device and the ACT LED occasionally blinks when the
device is connected to a hub. The ACT LED indicates activity
that may be reflecting other network traffic. Depending on your
existing LAN/WAN, a crossover cable may be necessary to con-
nect to the network.
Ethernet Connection, Routing Verify the route is available
to the IP-Link and firewalls or proxies are configured to passTCP
network traffic on port 39288 if necessary.
Firmware Click on iChip Uploader Via Serial from the iChip
Configurations Tools Main Menu to display the current version
of Boot Block and Firmware. You can contact the WattMaster
Controls Technical Support Department if you believe you need
new firmware. Upload Boot Block and Firmware by clicking on
the Firmware button and loading the boot block image file fol-
lowed by the firmware image. Boot Block must be loaded first!
A power cycle will be necessary after loading new firmware.
IP Address Verify that the assigned IPAddress is valid for the
local network and that it is not in use by any other device. Try to
PING the IP-Link’s IP address to confirm the address is correct
and responding.
NOTE: Make sure that the IP-Link is connected as shown in
Figure 8 and all installation procedures have been com-
pleted prior to using the “PING” command.
To do this, open a DOS session by opening a command prompt:
1. To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All
Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Command Prompt.
2. PING to the IPAddress by typing:
ping_IPaddress
3. Press Enter.
IP Address, Port Verify that the assigned port is valid by
attempting to telnet to port 39288 on the IP-Link.
NOTE: Make sure that the IP-Link is connected as shown in
Figure 8 and all installation procedures have been com-
pleted prior to using the “telnet” command.
To do this, open a DOS session by opening a command prompt:
1. To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All
Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Command Prompt.
2. Telnet to the IP-Link’s IPAddress and Port by typing:
telnet_IPaddress_39288
3. Press Enter.
If the port is closed, the telnet session will not establish a con-
nection. If the port is open, the telnet session will connect, but
the window will remain blank as the data coming from that port
is unreadable without Prism Software.
Prism Software Verify that the IPaddress is correctly entered
in the connection profile for the IP-Link.Also verify that the port
is left blank in the profile. This port area specifies Comm port
settings, not an IP address port.
Serial Cable Use the cable shipped with the IP-Link. Verify
that the serial cable is connected from the IP-Link device to the
Remote Link port on the CommLink II. On older CommLink
II’s, the port may be labeled Synchronous Data Link or DTE.
Serial Connection Verify that the SNET LED is blinking
rapidly on the IP-Link. The RLINK LED (SLINK LED on older
CommLink II’s) on the CommLink II will blink rapidly once the
port is opened on the IP-Link from the CommLink II.
TCP Port Address The TCPport address 39288 is hard coded
into the EPROM of the CommLink II and in Prism Software. It
cannot be changed by the end user.
MiniLink Make sure there is at least one MiniLink or Mini-
Link Polling Device connected to the CommLink II and the
Controller(s) on your system. It must also be powered on.
NOTE: WattMaster Controls Technical Support cannot trouble-
shoot internal PC and/or Windows-based operating
system problems.
NOTE: WattMaster Controls Technical Support cannot trouble-
shoot firewalls, routers and/or problems on a customer’s
internal or externalnetwork.An ITprofessional may need
to be consulted.

Appendix A
Notes on the IP-Link The IP-Link is functionally the same
as the previous version with a few small differences.
1. There are only two LEDs on the unit indicating a
LINK condition on the Ethernet and Activity on the
same link.
2. The Ethernet Port is now 10/100 capable which
allows greater flexibility when connecting to an
existing network.
Appendix
3. There is no longer a RCV and SER LED on the unit.
As a result, in order to verify communication between
the CommLink II and the IP-Link, the installer will
have to observe the RLINK LED on the CommLink
II. The LED will be lit but will display a rapid but
faint flicker if proper communication is established.
Verification of an active address by PING or telnet
procedures stated previously will also prove proper
operation.
