Wiring Diagram
CONFIGURATION
Default Set Up Configuration
After you have wired your device, simply connect it to a PoE enable switch on your Local Area Network (LAN). You’ll see a red LED light indicating the board has powered up and a green LED light on the RJ-45 port showing network connectivity. The amber light will flash showing network communication. If you don’t see those three lights, please contact your success team member at success@poetexas.com.
If you have those lights, you’re ready to connect to the board for your inital configuration.
Connecting to Your Controller Using Local WiFi
To make programming and configuration easier, your controller broadcasts its own WiFi signal that you can log into. You should only use this once where you will change the default password so no one else can access your controller. Make sure to note down your password so you can access it later if you need it.
- Default WiFi SSID: sarelayxxxxx (x are a number code specific to your relay)
- Default password: sapassword
Note: this wifi will only allow one client at a time.
Once connected to the local wifi, open a browser tab and navigate to the default IP address:
- Default IP address: 192.168.7.1
How to Reset a User
Locate Reset User in the left menu column.
- Default User: admin
- Default password: admin
- For Security make sure to change default admin and password.
Note: this wifi will only allow one client at a time.
How to Change your Access Point Password
To change your AP Password go to Settings
- Change Default AP SSID: sarelayxxxxx
- Change Default AP Password: sapassword
SA Relay DHCP and IP Settings
To make adjustments to the Dynamic Host Protocol(DHCP) setting or a fixed IP address on your network, click on the menu tab and locate settings.
- Default: ETH DHCP is set to No. Change the dropdown menu to Yes.
- Scroll Down to the bottom of the menu and click Save.
- Power Cycle by navigating to “Reboot” in Menu.
*Side note the settings will not save if we just power cycle. - Connect to the same sarelay wifi connection with your new credentials.
- Login to the relay again.
- Write down the new IP address.
- ETH/IP(Ethernet Industrial Protocol): 192.168.2.201.
- Disconnect from the sarelay wifi.
- Connect to your LAN – either through the wifi if they’re on the same network or through the local wired network. (You must be on the same Local Area Network to connect to the relay in order to start.
