pCOWEB

BACNET IP
*One card is utilized for these protocols
Equipment required:

A computer running, for example, Internet Explorer™ and fitted with an Ethernet network interface;
if pCOWebis already installed in the final destination and cannot be removed, a portable computer is
handier.
A crossover network cable (recent computers do not require the crossover cable; a network cable can
be tried in any case: if the crossover cable is required, this will be established when connecting).

The configuration of pCOWeb requires two steps, consist of:


A. Configuration on user computer
B. Configuration on pCOWeb
Follow both procedures.

A. Configuration on user computer

IP address = 172.16.0.2 Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
#can use any different ip address which in same segment except the ip address below (the default for PCO web).
Ex: 172.16.0.3, 172.16.0.4,etc
Default PCO web configuration
IP address = 172.16.0.1 Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
