Internet Access

Adding a WNP-2150 Network Manager to a Network of WNX-2624 Nodes and WRS-2224 Scanners permits control of the Lighting Control System via an Internet browser.

Utilizing the WNP-2150 Network Manager

When a WNP-2150 Network Manager is connected to a Douglas W-2000 system, the lighting control system can be monitored and controlled from any standard Internet Browser on a PC. The PC, or LAN that the PC is a part of, connects to the WNP-2150 via an ethernet connection.

The WNP-2150 has embedded lighting control software that utilizes an internal web server as its interface. When any PC or LAN is connected to the WNP-2150, the standard web browser software, such as Internet Explorer® or Modzilla Firefox® or equivalent, can be used to view and edit the lighting control software.

To access the WNP-2150, enter the IP address that is inscribed on the WNP-2150 unit into the browser's address field.

  • Entering descriptions for each group input
  • Full scheduling (weekly and holiday)
