Installation and mounting

General:

The ALL-PoE-CNT-1 display can only be used in dry indoor areas. Make sure there is proper ventilation. Make

sure, that the connected cables are not too tight. Please use only PoE power sources that are based on PoE

standard IEEE 802.3af/at. We recommend the use of ALLNET PoE switches or injectors.

Description

The ALLNET ALL-PoE-CNT-1 counter can display a four digit value (numbers and characters) via 100mm 7-

segement elements. Values from -999 to 9999 can be displayed. The displayed value can be set manually,

increased or reduced via a connected signal generator or a switch. Instead of a signal generator a light barrier or

relay can also be used to obtain values.

Accessible via network and internet

You can access the web interface with any browser-supported device. In addition the displayed values and the

built in relay can be set and controlled via JSON.

The interfaces

The ALL-PoE-CNT-1 offers the following interfaces:

1x RJ45 Input (data and power)

1x contact input

1x relay output

First use

Use a 8-wire CAT5 (or higher) patch cable for the PoE connection. Connect the ALL-POE-CNT-1 with a PoE

switch or injector to ensure power supply. We recommend the ALLNET ALL048900 PoE Injector.

Network with active DHCP

Connect the ALL-POE-CNT-1 to a switch or injector. The device will start up immediately when supplied with PoE

power. On delivery the IP address will be displayed in 4 steps on the display itself. Afterwards the web interface of

the ALL-POE-CNT-1 can be reached with any internet browser. In a DHCP network-infrastructure the devices

gets a IP address automatically by the DHCP Server. When connected to a PC, the IP address can be adjusted

manually.

Note: Please use a recent browser to ensure the full scope of functions.

Network with no DHCP

Connected to a non DHCP Network, the ALL-PoE-CNT-1 starts with IP address 192.168.0.101, as default. You

can set the IP address to a desired value by connecting the device to a computer and change the settings via the

web interface.

1. Connect the ALL-POE-CNT- to a switch or injector

2. Connect the ALL-POE-CNT-1 with your PC/MAC: The ALL-POE-CNT-1 and the connected components

communicate via the TCP/IP protocol. To get access to the counter the PC/MAC and ALL-POE-CNT-1

must use the same network:

IP-Address: 192.168.0.101

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

No username or password required

3. Please set your PC temporary to a free address in the range from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 (Do

NOT use 192.168.0.101 – its already used by the counter itself).

4. Type 192.168.0.101 to access the web configuration of ALL-POE-CNT-1.

LAN Setup

Set up IP network address and LAN Parameters

Enter the web address of the ALL-POE-CNT-1. (192.168.0.101 standard setting)

Configuration: „C

onfiguration

“ > „

LAN Settings“

a) MAC: The MAC address of the device. No changes possible.

b) HOSTNAME: Here you can define the network name of the ALL-POE-CNT-1. Valid are only the

following: a-z, A-Z, 1-9 and hyphen (not usable at the end of the name). Special characters and

ALL-PoE-CNT-1

7

blank cannot be used. Maximum of 15 characters. The host name can only be used once in a

network.

c) Enable DHCP: By selecting „Enable

DHCP

“ the ALL-POE-CNT-1 uses the IP address assigned by

the DHCP Server. IP-settings, topics f. – j. are not selectable.

IP address can only be set manually, by deactivating DHCP service

d) SHOW IP address when booting: After switching on, the IP address is displayed once. The

address is divided in four segments, starting from a-d, following by max three numbers per segment.

e) Devicename: The Devicename is displayed as in the web server title and can be used

independently from the network settings.

f) IP ADRESSE: Network address of the ALL-POE-CNT-1 (Please make sure that the address is used

only once).

g) NETMASK: Default settings: 255.255.255.0

h) DEFAULT GATEWAY: Enter the standard gateway address, usually the IP address of the router.

i) FIRST DNS: Enter the DNS of the server

j) 2nd DNS: Default setting is 0.0.0.0. Please change the settings only if a second DNS server is used

in the internal network.

k) Safe the changes with „Save Config“. The ALL-POE-CNT-1 will automatically reboot and display the

following web site.

After approx. 10 seconds the ALL-POE-CNT-1 will be accessible at the changed IP address.

By clicking the highlighted link you get direct access to the updated web interface, alternatively you can enter the

IP address manually.

Note: After changing the network settings for configuring the Counter, change the PC network settings to starting

values. This allows you to access the web interface of the counter.

Date and time

Settings at: „

Configuration

“ > „date and time“

The ALL-POE-CNT-1 synchronizes its system time via a NTP server. The request is done at every boot process

or automatically every 24 hours via port 123. Please make sure, that the firewall allows traffic via port 123. You

can also use a net based time service. If your router supports NTP, you can add the routers IP at the “NTP Server

1” field.

To ensure a correct time management, the ALL-POE-CNT-1 needs access to the internet or to an internal NTP

server!

a. standard time / daylight saving time: To activate the summer time, mark the „daylight saving time“

checkbox

b. 12 hours mode / 24 hours mode : Displays the time in 12 or 24 hour format

c. Time offset to UTC: For Germany e.g.„+ 1hr“

d. Enable Timeserver 1-4: Activate a NTP server query. Minimum 1 server must be activated

ALL-PoE-CNT-1

e. Timeserver 1-4: Selection of possible time server. Alternatively you can use a local time server (e.g.

your DSL Router).

Click „Set Timeserver and Reboot“ to apply the new settings. The ALL-POE-CNT-1 will automatically reboot and

display the following web site.

Settings at „Mainpage“

This site is for display and operation.

a. Save count to flash: Stores displayed values to an internal storage and displays them after next start-

up.

b. Count down: by hitting the button manually, the counter increases the value, when activating the count

down function the value decreases by one.

c. Counter: Entered value from -999 to 9999 will be displayed immediately at the counter

d. set: Saves the settings

e. clear: Counter displays 0000

f. Intensity: Brightness settings, possible values: 100%, 80%, 40%, 5%

g. Set intensity: Saves the settings

h. Relais on / Relais off: activate/deactivate the relay

Control via JSON protocol

You can set or request the display value from individual applications via JSON.

This example uses the standard IP address "192.168.0.101

This address must be replaced with your individual address.

Please use an actual web-browser for testing

Example “read”:

Query: http://192.168.0.101/xml/jsonswitch.php?id=1

{

"result": {

"id": "1",

"status": "1",

"set": "2357"

}

The actual displayed value is: 2357

Relay Power on: http://192.168.0.101/xml/jsonswitch.php?id=3

{

"result": {

"id": "3",

"status": "1",

"set": "1"

}

Relay is switched on. Set = 1

Example “write”:

http://192.168.0.101/xml/jsonswitch.php?id=1&set=4321

id=1 set=Value to be displayed

http://192.168.0.101/xml/jsonswitch.php?id=3&set=1

id=3 for relay set= 0 or 1

VESA Mount

For universal attachment the ALL-PoE-CNT-1 offers four mounting holes at the backside of the device. The

spacing is 75mm, the matching M4 screws format. This allows using all VESA compatible holders with 75mm

spacing.

Note: To avoid damage, do not use screws longer than 6mm.

ALLNET offers various VESA compatible mounts for connecting the ALL-PoE-CNT-1.

Example:

Reset

It might happen that the ALL-POE-CNT-1 is no longer accessible because of faulty user settings. In this case you

can reset your device to factory settings (all settings are lost): Unplug the counter. Press the FW button (hold the

button until the reset process is finished!). Connect the ALL-POE-CNT-1 and wait for approx. 30 seconds. After

finishing the reset process all settings are restored to factory default.

Cleaning and care instructions

Please unplug the ALL-POE-CNT-1 every time you clean the device. To avoid scratches please use a soft and

slightly moist micro fiber cloth and do not use cleaning material, alcohol or other solvents. Please note that there

is a modern electronics within the housing, so do not use too much water while cleaning the device.
