WEB-MON ENTERPRISE EDITION SETUP
E-Mon Web-Mon Enterprise Edition Setup
Ver. 1.0 5/21/09
Thank you for choosing to purchase the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition from E-Mon. The Web-Mon Enterprise Edition is a web
enabled device that allows users to access meter data via the public internet or on a private network (LAN).
The Web-Mon is capable of storing and displaying kWh, demand kW data, graphs of kWh and kW, CO2 equivalents for the kWh,
and many other features. All of these features are available on the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition’s built-in web pages. Once you
are set up, all you need to do to see your energy usage is to go to the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition’s web address and you will be
connected directly to the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition and all the meters connected to it- no web host, no intermediaries, just you
in direct and instant touch with the information you require to make wise energy decisions.
This quick start guide covers the basic set up and connection steps to get your Web-Mon Enterprise Edition up and running. Not
all scenarios are covered in this Quick start guide. Detailed descriptions of all the screens and capabilities of the Web-Mon are
covered in the main Web-Mon Enterprise Edition guide, which is available as a PDF file on-line at www.emon.com.
We hope your experience with this product is an easy one and that it provides you with the information your need to make
profitable choices regarding your energy use.

Connect your internet or LAN to the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition’s LAN1 input with a standard Ethernet cable. (See separate wiring guide to locate LAN1 input)
a. The serial number is written on a label on the inside of the Web-Mon Enterprise. Document the serial number printed
on the label. You will need this serial number to determine the pre-installed default IP address.
b. This connection needs to be a live internet or LAN connection.
c. An alternative is to connect a PC directly to the WEBMON Enterprise LAN1 connection using a crossover cable for initial setup purposes.

c. Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and then click Properties. This will bring you to the Internet Protocol TCP/IP properties
screen as seen in Fig. 14 below.
Fig. 14.
d. Click on the radio button marked “Use the following IP address”.
NOTE: Document the IP address currently in use in your computer. You will need to restore this address once the WebMon Enterprise Edition is set up.
3.
e. The default IP address of the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition is determined in the following manner:
(1) Default IP address is 192.168.1.12X. ‘X’ is defined as the last digit of the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition’s serial number.
(2) As an example, the last digit of S/N of 328554 is a ‘4’. So the default IP address of the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition
would be: 192.168.1.124
f. Temporarily set the IP address of your computer to be a number very close to the default IP address of the Web-Mon.
Click OK.
(1) For example: set the computers IP address as 192.168.1.125 (final digit is 1 number larger than Web-Mon Enterprise Edition’s IP address).
(2) This allows the computer to locate the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition more easily.
Setting the desired IP address of the WEBMON Enterprise Edition
a. Open your internet browser. Make sure your computer has the latest version of Java.
b. Type the default Web-Mon Enterprise Edition IP address into the address bar of your internet browser and press enter.
NOTE: As soon as your browser connects to the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition, a loading page will appear with the Niagara
logo on it. The loading procedure the first time you access the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition may take a few minutes.
c. After the loading is complete, you will see the Log in page.

Enter the desired IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway into the appropriate fields for Interface1. Repeat this for Interface 2 if
necessary. Also enter the appropriate IP addresses of the DnsV4 servers if necessary.
NOTE: The newly assigned IP address needs to be a public, static IP address if you are accessing the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition over the public internet. If you are on a closed network (LAN), consult with your IT department to
determine the proper IP address to use.

k. Click the “Yes” button to reboot the server.
Restore your computer TCP/IP settings by accessing your computers internet settings as outlined in section 2 a-d above. Enter
the original IP address that you documented before you entered the temporary IP. Once you restore the original IP address, save
the changes and exit.

SET the IP Addresses of the E-MON Meters connected to the WEBMON Enterprise Edition
NOTE: E-Mon devices that utilize the MODBUS TCP-IP protocol over a LAN or WAN are connected following these
instructions. These E-Mon devices are Class 5000 meters with optional MODBUS TCP-IP communications. Since
communication is TCP-IP based meters can be located in the same building or in separate buildings other than
those where the WEBMON Enterprise Edition is located. This makes the WEBMON Enterprise Edition especially
useful in obtaining meter readings in a campus or WAN environment.

4. Discover your meters:
NOTE: E-Mon devices that utilize the EZ7 protocol over RS-485 are discovered following these instructions These EMon devices include Class 3000 meters, Class 5000 meters or IDR-8 and IDR-16s. If a Web-Mon with an optional
I/O module for connection to pulse output devices is utilized, see section 13 for instructions.
a. From the set up screen click on the EZ7 Network Icon. See Fig. 23.
• Connection enabled - make sure the connection is enabled. If disabled, the application will not be able to communicate
with any meters over the RS-485 bus. The Ethernet tunnel will temporarily disable the connection when in use.
• Serial port – this should be COM2 for the L1 connection (RS-485).
Fig. 23. Set Up Screen
b. Click on the „Discover? Icon on the bottom of the screen. You will be prompted to specify the number of devices you
have hooked up to the Web-Mon, since searching for an unspecified number of devices can take a long time. This procedure is outlined in detail in section 10 below.

Fig. 24. Set Up Screen Dialogue Box
d. The application will scan every possible address to find devices; this can take some time. By indicating how many
devices to find, the discovery process will terminate once that number is reached.
e. IDR-16s are discovered as two devices.
f. Once the system discovers the devices, double click on each device separately. A window will appear (see Fig. 25; click
Add.

two ways; their address will match one of the rows in the lower Database Table and they will appear faded compared to unknown
devices. (See Fig. 26.)
Fig. 26. Configure Device
g. Once Add is clicked a new window will appear to allow the device to be configured (see Fig. 27). Typically the device
Name and Address will remain unchanged. Use the drop down menu to select the appropriate device Type. Click OK.
