| NET-PwrCtrl |
| Call Net-PwrCtrl:
|
There are three methods to call NET-PwrCtrl:
- About the host name from the browser. Name = hostname. (Http://net-control on delivery). If the name is changed, the corresponding host name changes.
- About 'NET-PwrCtrl Discoverer.exe'. This program search and list all devices present in the network.
- About IP e.g.: 192.168.0.5. The IP address from the DHCP - Server (usually in the router) will be assigned automatically. If there is no DHCP - Server IP can also be assigned manually.
Several devices in the network.
The NET-PwrCtrl is delivered with the hostname: "net-control". The host name must be unique in the network, so it must be changed in the first device before the second can be connected.
HTTP Port.
If default HTTP Port 80 have to be changed because several devices got to be addressed from the Internet or to operate HTTP Server. In this case to the hostname need to be add ":" + port number (http://net-control:12345)
Without DHCP.
Connect the device and assign the network card the following:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
The NET-PwrCtrl can now be called via browser with the address:
http://net-control or http://192.168.0.244.
Important: If IP the device is changed or DHCP is turned off:
- Browser must be closed (all windows).
- Start Browser and call the device with the host name.
- Refresh page in the browser (Reload).

Should NET-PwrCtrl be controllable from the Internet, the router must be set accordingly.

Once you have created an account with a Dynamic DNS Provider, the router must
received two pieces of information:
- The data from Dynamic DNS Provider so that the new IP can be communicated to the service.
- In port forwardings of router HTTP-Port of NET-PwrCtrfl must refer to the IP: http://net-control.dynalias.com:83>
