between 11 and 254, inclusive, but must be different from the IP address assigned to the device. The
default IP address set for the OM-WEB-TEMP, OM-WEB-TC is
192.168.0.101
.

Assigning an arbitrary IP address could result in duplicate IP addresses on the network. This
condition can cause a communication failure that affects both devices. Make sure when
configuring static IP addresses that you set different addresses for each device.

Connect the Ethernet port on the OM-WEB Series device to your Ethernet hub using the supplied cable, or
to your computer's Ethernet port using a CAT-5 or higher crossover cable.
Note
: If you connect to an Ethernet hub, you can use the Ethernet cable shipped with the device. If you
have multiple OM-WEB Series devices, configure each device separately and assign a unique IP address to
each device. You will need to run InstaCal to change the IP address from the default 192.168.0.101.
When connected, the
Link/Activity
LED turns on steady green to indicate that you have established a valid
Ethernet connection, and blinks to indicate network traffic. Refer to Figure 11 on page 25 for the location
of the
Link/Activity
LED.

Configuring OM-WEB Series hardware
All hardware options are configurable with InstaCal or the web interface. InstaCal must be used if any of the
network parameters need to be changed, such as the IP address of your device. Configuration settings are stored
in non-volatile memory in EEPROM, and are loaded on power up.
Refer to the sections "Using the web interface" on page 14 and "Configuring OM-WEB Series hardware using
InstaCal" on page 14 for detailed information.
