Quick Start Guide RUC Remote UPB Controller Web Mountain Technologies Updated 1 4 2011 This document is intended to be used to allow a user to setup their newly acquired RUC unit and quickly start using it If more details are needed please refer to the full User s Manual located on the Web Mountain website at http www webmtn com RUC RUC information php Basic Setup There s not much to this Follow these steps 1 Remove the RUC from its shipping container 2 Remove the SPIM from its shipping container and using the supplied cord connect the SPIM to the COM1 DB9 on the RUC Plug the SPIM into a power outlet 3 Connect an Ethernet patch cord from the Ethernet RJ45 jack on the RUC to your local Ethernet switch router 4 Take the included power supply plug its cord into the power jack on the RUC then plug the power supply into a power outlet 5 On the end of the RUC where the Ethernet patch cord plugs in you will see the LED closest to SW2 start blinking on about a 1 second interval You will also see the Ethernet LEDs on the RUC blink to indicate activity and the port on the switch router where the RUC is connected will show connection and activity with its LEDs Accessing the webserver of the test RUC This is pretty easy We will ship the RUC in its default mode of being a DHCP client We re assuming that your LAN has a DHCP server on it and the RUC will get an address from this DHCP server To access the R

7. bottom of this page The file name will include something like V23 in it If this number is higher than the number on your Homepage we recommend updating your firmware To update your firmware please refer to the procedure shown later in this document Upstart over the LAN Internet One of the main purposes of the RUC is to basically create an Ethernet PIM Now you can locate the PIM anywhere you want to on your LAN or even on the Internet and use it to run Upstart over a network rather than being constrained to the physical location where the PC is located This is one of the main features we want you to test out CAUTION It should be noted that UPStart operation over a network may not be quite as robust as on a hard wired PIM If you are having problems a retry or two of the test you are trying to run should get you accurate results It is strongly encouraged that the user configure Upstart slightly differently than normal select Ask if verify should be performed or Never perform verify at startup on the UPStart File options tab rather than Always perform verify at startup It is also strongly suggested that the user do individual device verifies rather than network verifies whenever possible Smaller chunks of testing will perform better than larger chunks especially in the situation where there is some congestion on the network Introduction to Upstart In case you are not familiar with the UPB setup and programmin
8. g tool Upstart Upstart is a Windows based program that is used to setup your initial UPB network then program and add devices to that network In order to use Upstart you must connect a serial or USB PIM PC Interface Module to the PC running Upstart This PIM must be plugged into a power outlet so that it can be used to transmit and receive signals from the PC to and from the powerline network UPB is a powerline home automation protocol Signals are sent over the powerline to control lights and appliances However the devices that are used to control these lights and appliances must be programmed to behave in the fashion you desire That s the purpose of Upstart In addition Upstart provides some of the best if not the best diagnostic tools as compared to other home automation technologies Confidential amp Proprietary to Web Mountain Technologies not to be disclosed 2 The most common way of using Upstart is with a local PC connected to either a serial or USB PIM which is plugged into an outlet in the house In many cases this is inconvenient in that the location where you are plugged in with the PIM in order to program devices might not be the final location or the best location for the PIM in terms of signal strength and if you are programming a large number of units you are constantly moving your laptop causing you to constantly reconnect to the PIM thereby dramatically reducing your productivity The RUC unit u
