Input

The Input section is used to configure Input rules and set Analog Input value check interval:

Input Rules

---

Input Rules provides you with the possibility to set up rules that execute specified actions after specified triggers occur.

field name	value	description
Enable	yes | no; Default: yes	Toggles the Input rule ON or OFF
Input type	Digital | Digital isolated | Analog; Default: Digital	Selects which Input is tied to the rule
Trigger	Input open | Input shorted | Both; Default: Input open	Specifies the Trigger after which the rule will take effect
Action	Send SMS | Change SIM card | Send email | Change profile | Turn on WiFi | Turn off WiFi | Reboot | Activate output | HTTP POST/GET; Default: Send SMS	Action to be taken after the Trigger takes place Send SMS - sends an SMS message to a specified number(s). The message text is custom Change SIM card - switches the SIM card that is currently in use Send email - sends an email to the specified address. You will be prompted to enter your email account's authentication information Change profile - switches the profile in use to the specified profile Turn on WiFi/Turn off WiFi - turns WiFi ON or OFF Reboot - reboots the router after a specified amount of time Activate output - activates specified output HTTP POST/GET - gets or posts data to HTTP

Output

The Output section is used to configure the router's outputs: Relay Output and Open Collector (OC) Output.

Output Configuration

---

The Output Configuration tab is used to change the default states of the router's outputs.

field name	value	description
Open collector output	High level | Low level; Default: Low level	Changes the default* state of the Open collector (OC) output
Relay output	Contacts open | Contacts closed; Default: Contacts closed	Relay Output default state

* Changing the default state of an output means that the changes will be written into the input/output config and saved, therefore making the change permanent. This means that, unless some other related change occurs, the state of the output will remain as set in this section. Therefore, if the input/output service restarts or the device reboots, it will have no effect on the state of the output.

ON/OFF

---

The ON/OFF section is used to turn Outputs ON or OFF, but it doesn't save the state permanently, meaning that after a reboot the states will revert back to their default values.

Post/Get Configuration

---

Post/Get Configuration allows you to perform action requests by writing them in the URL field after your device’s IP address.

FIELD NAME	VALUE	DESCRIPTION
Enable	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles POST/GET ON or OFF
Username	string; Default: " "	Username used for authentication in POST/GET queries
Password	string; Default: " "	Password used for authentication in POST/GET queries

Post/Get usage

---

ACTION	POST/GET URL EXAMPLE
Turn Relay Output ON	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=on&pin=relay
Turn Relay Output ON after a 10 second delay	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=on&pin=relay&delay=10
Turn Relay Output ON for 5 seconds	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=on&pin=relay&time=5
Turn Relay Output ON for 5 seconds after a 15 second delay	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=on&pin=relay&delay=15&time=5
Turn Relay Output OFF for 5 seconds after a 15 second delay	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=off&pin=relay&delay=15&time=5
Turn Open Collector Output ON	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=on&pin=oc
Turn Open Collector Output OFF	http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/output?username=user1&password=user1&action=off&pin=oc

Overview:

• 192.168.1.1 - router's default LAN IP address; replace it in accordance with your own configuration
• username - login name from Post/Get Configuration
• password - password from Post/Get Configuration
• action - the action that is to be performed on the specified Output (can be on or off)
• pin - specifies on which Output the action will be applied (can be oc or relay)
• delay - defines a delay (in seconds) after which the specified action will be performed
• time - defines a window of time during which the action will take place. For instance, if you post an ON action for an output while specifying time=5, that Output will turn ON and stay ON for 5 seconds before turning OFF

Delay and time parameters can be used together. For example, if delay is 10, time is 5, action is on, then 10 seconds after the execution of the command, the output will switch to ON (or stay in ON state if it was already ON), then after 5 more seconds it will switch to OFF state. In this case, the overall command execution time is 15 seconds.

Actions ON and OFF depend on setting „Output configuration in active state“ (ON is active state), which can be set via Services → Input/Output → Output

Periodic Control

---

The Periodic control section allows you to set up automatic output control rules that trigger output state changes at the specified period or interval.

FIELD NAME	VALUE	DESCRIPTION
Enable	yes | no; Default: no	Toggles the rule ON or OFF
Output	Digital OC output | Digital Relay output; Default: Digital OC output	To which output the rule pertains
Action	On | Off; Default: On	Periodic action to be taken
Action timeout	yes | no; Default: no	Activates action timeout. Action timeout specifies whether an action should end after some time. For example, if the specified Action is to turn Digital OC output On and the action triggers, the Action timeout then turns Digital OC output back off after a specified amount of time in seconds specified in this field
Timeout (sec)	integer; Default: " "	Specifies how long the Action timeout is
Mode	Fixed | Interval; Default: Fixed	Fixed mode triggers the specified action on a specified day(s), hour and minute. For example, every Sunday at 8:30 AM Interval provides you with the possibility to set up an interval after which the same action takes place

Scheduler

---

The Scheduler lets you configure a schedule of when certain outputs are to be enabled or disabled.
