Seng up the WebDAQ
Connecng to a local area network
The WebDAQ requires a TCP/IP connecon to a network or the Ethernet port of a computer. A standard
Ethernet cable is shipped with the device. The WebDAQ IP address type is set by default for DHCP/Link-Local.
When connected to a network, the device first aempts to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. If this
fails, a link-local address is used. Use of a stac address requires configuraon via the web interface. The IP
address idenfies the WebDAQ on the network, and is used to access the web interface.
Connecng to a network with DHCP enabled
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the connector on the WebDAQ rear panel, and connect the other end
to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX compable Ethernet port, hub, or switch.
Once the device is detected, DHCP assigns an address. A different address may be assigned each me the
hardware is connected to the network.
WiFi support
Aer successfully configuring a wired connecon, you can use the web interface to configure the
WebDAQ for wireless communicaon. Refer to the Configuring the WebDAQ for wireless
communicaon secon for more informaon.
Connecng directly to a PC
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the connector on the WebDAQ rear panel, and connect the other end
directly to the Ethernet port on a PC. The WebDAQ aempts to communicate with the host PC using
169.254.100.100 – the link-local address stored on the device. The host PC may accept this address or use a
different address. The link-local address is valid only for communicaons between the WebDAQ and the host PC
to which it is connected.
Connecng the external power adapter
Connect the network cable before connecng to external power
Connecng to the external supply before installing on a network results in the device aempng to
auto-negoate a network address before one is available.
Connect the adapter to the power connector labeled EXT PWR on the device rear panel, and plug the AC
adapter into an electrical outlet.
Press the POWER buon. The POWER LED on the rear panel turns yellow as the hardware starts up, and green
when it is ready for use.

Detecng the device on a network
WebDAQ uses the "zeroconf" zero-configuraon protocol to announce its presence on a local area network.
Zeroconf uses a device name which can be accessed from other computers on the network.
Zero-configuraon networking is helpful to find your WebDAQ hardware on the network
The easiest way to add zeroconf support to Windows is to install Bonjour Print Services. Bonjour
soware is Apple's implementaon of zero-configuraon networking, and is readily available as a free
download – open a browser window and search for Bonjour Print Services. Zeroconf is built into popular
applicaons such as Apple ITunes® and instant messaging soware, so your computer may already
support it. Many Linux systems will have the avahi version of zeroconf installed by default, so it's likely
zeroconf is available if you're running Linux.
Accessing the WebDAQ web interface
To access the WebDAQ web interface, open a browser window and enter hp://webdaq-xxxxxx.local, where
xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the MAC address. The MAC address is on a label at the boom of the WebDAQ
enclosure.
If your network is configured for the zeroconf protocol, the WebDAQ web interface opens.
If the web interface does not open or an error is returned, install a device discovery tool such as Bonjour
Print Services. Refer to the note above about zero-configuraon networking.
Browser support
The latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, UC Browser, or Opera recommended. Compable with the
Edge browser version 79 and up. Not recommended for use with earlier versions of the Edge browser.
Not recommended for use with Internet Explorer.
The WebDAQ web interface is shown here.
Figure 1. WebDAQ web interface
Use the WebDAQ web interface to configure hardware and acquision opons, schedule and run jobs, and to
view and manage data. The Help window provides details about all components on the web interface.
Once a connecon is established and you can communicate to the device, you can change the configuraon for
other network scenarios.

Configuring the WebDAQ for wireless communicaon
Once communicaon is established on a wired network, you can connect a WiFi adapter to the USB port and
use the web interface to configure the WebDAQ for communicaon over a wireless network. With the WebDAQ
connected through the wired connecon, perform the following procedure.
1. Connect an approved WiFi adapter to the USB port on the WebDAQ rear panel.
A list of WiFi adapters approved for use with WebDAQ Series hardware is available on our website at
www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/wd-wifi.pdf.
2. Open the WebDAQ web interface in a browser window and go to the Device window, Network tab.
3. Select WiFi. Once the list of available networks updates, select the wireless network that you want to
connect to, and enter the password, if any.
If the connecon is successful, the selected wireless network will show above this list with a checkmark
next to it.
You can click on the selected network to open a WiFi Network Sengs dialog box where you can forget the
current network or configure the IP address type (DHCP/Link-Local or Stac).
4. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the LAN connecon.
Wait a few seconds, and refresh the browser window.
Changing to a wireless network may require a reboot
If a connecon can't be established aer changing the network, you may need to reboot the operang
system and restart the WebDAQ using the Power buon.
Configuring the network router for communicaon across networks
To communicate with the WebDAQ over the internet from a computer connected to a different network, you
must change the network configuraon of the network router.
Cauon! This procedure should only be performed by a network administrator or computer
professional. Incorrect sengs can significantly disrupt a network.
In the following procedure, the WebDAQ is installed on the host LAN, the computer is installed on the client
LAN, and it is assumed that you have successfully connected the device to a local network.
1. Determine the IP address of the WebDAQ – open the Device window from the web interface, and note the
IP Address value on the Network Sengs tab.
2. Configure your router so that the address determined above is a stac address. The procedure for
accomplishing this varies between routers; refer to your router documentaon for instrucons.
3. Configure the firewall/router to forward an unused port to port 80 on the WebDAQ at the IP address
configured for the device.
Note the stac IP address assigned to the router – this is referred to as the WAN address.
4. To access your WebDAQ from a remote locaon, enter the WAN address followed by the port selected
above preceded by a colon in the web browser.
The format of the address entered in the browser is: 00.000.00.00:00000 (WAN address of router:port
selected for the WebDAQ).
