Configuration Utility. To access the embedded webpages, refer to the section “Configuring using the embedded Web Configuration
Utility” on
page 49
.
Connecting using the Configuration Utility
On first connection, you must connect to the device through its USB port. Once you have configured the device for the first time, you can enable access through the Ethernet port and remotely through the
Wireless port
N otee:
Before enabling the Ethernet Port or Wireless port for
Configuration access, read the section “Recommended secure hardening guidelines” at the end of this manual.
Downloading and installing CConfig
The CConfig utility is provided as a executable installation file from the download section of the Eaton website. Configuration of the
415U module can be performed via USB or Ethernet connection, and all appropriate USB drivers are installed during installation. If you have a problem installing the drivers, you can install them manually using Windows Device Manager. To install the CConfig utility:
•
•
Go to the Eaton website: www.eaton.com/wireless
Under Resources, click Technical Resources Library, and then click
ELPRO Configuration Software.
•
•
•
Download the file “415U Wireless I/O and Modem Configuration” to your PC and extract the zip file.
Open the file “INST_CFG_CCconfig<version>.exe.” This runs the
Installation Wizard.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software
(see
Figure 28
).
Connecting to the device’s USB port
The USB port is located on the bottom side of the module. (Refer
Figure 11
“Bottom Panel Connections”). To connect, you need an
USB cable (USB-A to USB-B) for connecting from your computer to the module’s USB-B port .
If you have installed the Windows®-based Configuration Utility, then
USB drivers should have been installed at the same time.
You will need to know the credentials (username and password) configured for the device. If the module is new out-of-the-box you can use the default credentials. Otherwise, you will need to use the values set previously. If you have lost the password, you can clear the device to restore all settings back to the default values.
For instructions, see “Restoring the factory default settings” on
page 68
.
1. Power on the device, and wait for the device to finish booting and for the “PWR” LED to go solid green (about 1 minute).

: When the module is new from the factory, the Power LED will go solid RED. Once the radio Locale is set, the OK LED will go green after boot.
2. Start the Configuration Application
3. Plug in the USB cable and wait for your computer to recognize the new USB device. The new device will identify as a “415U”.
4. Once the device is recognized, you will have an additional
Network Adapter in your device manager list
