Getting Started
1. Make sure you have thoroughly read all precautions for
you device to avoid damaging your controller.
2. Connect your Web-i enabled device to your router using
an Ethernet cable. DO NOT Connect the Web-i to a
Ethernet Switch, you MUST connect it to a Router for
proper operation. Connect an appropriate power supply
for your device.
3. Download the Discovery Utility.

4. Unzip the contents of the Web-i discovery software into a
folder making sure all files are included in the same
folder. Run the discovery software.
*Windows may alert you the Web-i discovery soft
ware is attempting to access your network. Choose
the “Allow Access” option.
5. The Web-i discovery software will scan your network for
Web-i communication modules. Each device will be
listed by the Mac Address. There should be at least
one Web-i module listed. If there are several listings,
there are multiple Web-i or .net devices on the same
router. If this happens, simply match the Mac Address
printed on the top of your module, located underneath
the barcode, against the available listings and discover
your module that way.
6. Double click on the appropriate available Mac Address
for your Web-i device. This should open a new tab in
your favorite browser.
*If this program did not work for you:
• You need .net version 3 or higher. This should be avail-
able to you through Windows updates.
• If you cannot obtain this software through Windows
updates, you can download this free software from Mi-
crosoft using a Google search. Search “.net framework
v3 download.” It should be the first result from Mi-
crosoft.com and can be downloaded and installed
through their website.
7. At this point, you should see a Web-i web-page appear.
This web page is generated by the Web-i module and
will allow you to access and control your device over a
local area network or from anywhere in the world (with
some additional setup).
Remote Internet Access
Web-i controllers can be accessed remotely through an
internet connection using any device with an embedded
web browser such as a Smart Phone, Tablet, or Computer.
To do this simply open the web browser on your device,
enter link.signalswitch.com/Your Mac Address. The Mac
Address should be entered without the colons, dashes, or
spaces.
Example: link.signalswitch.com/00204ael35ff
Note: The device may only be accessed in this way when
the Web-i controller and web browser are connected using
different networks. If the controller and device are on the
same Local Area Network do not use link.signalswith.com,
simply enter the devices IP address into the URL.
Also note that port forwarding must be configured on your
router. To setup port forwarding, you will need:
The IP Address of the Web-i Device on your LAN
The Port Number of the Web-i Device (usually 8080)
Please Visit www.portforward.com for complete instructions
on how to setup port forwarding on your router, as most
brands and models are covered with explicit directions on
this web site.
Note:
The Web-i listens on port 2101 if you would like to access
this device through a TCP/IP Socket connection. The Web-i
provides web page content on port 80.
