3. FIRST CONNECTION AND CONFIGURATION
DIP Switch pos. 1
Serial number
DIP Switch pos. 2
The WS4-1D does not have default IP address. By default is set to DHCP. There are 2
methods to connect to and configure WS4-1D-E - LAN and Standalone method.
3.1 METHOD 1
(For use in a home or business LAN network)
In this configuration, the network's DHCP server will assign an IP address to your WS4-1D-E
1. Put the DIP switch 1 in position OFF.
2. Connect a cable from your network to the ethernet connector of WS4-1D-E.
3. Open a web browser and enter http://ws4 followed dash and the serial number of
the WS4-1D-E controller
If you can not connect, it is because your network does not recognize the name of the
WS4-1D-E controller. In this case, go to our web site http://www.xprgroup.com/products/
ws4/ and download the tool called "Device Finder".
EN
The "Device Finder" will enable you to find out the IP address of the WS4-1D-E controller.
Run the "Device Finder" and you will get a list of all the WS4 controllers connected in
your network, including their IP addresses, just like the picture below.
Open a browser and type the IP of the WS4-1D-E
controller and you will be prompted to the login
page.
User Name: admin
Password: WS4 followed by Dash and the Seri-
al Number (ex. WS4-110034) just like the
image below, all in capital letters without space.
3.2 METHOD 2
(For standalone use - without LAN network)
In this configuration, the WS4-1D-E will assign an IP address to your PC. The PC must be set to obtain IP
address automatically.
1. Put the DIP switch 1 in position ON.
2. Connect a cable from your PC directly to the ethernet connector of WS4-1D-E.
3. Open a web browser and enter the following IP - 192.168.50.100, then put the login
credentials like explained above
3.3 FACTORY RESET
To do this, take the following steps:
1. Put DIP Switch 4 (Factory reset) to ON position.
2. Wait for the blinking green LED (COMM).
3. Consecutively switch the Factory reset switch (DIP 1) 3 times in the following
combination OFF - ON - OFF within 10 seconds.
4. Next, the green LED starts blinking very fast, initializes it and the factory
default is completed.
4. CHANGE PASSWORD
DIP Switch 1 allows to log into the system as an administrator if login or
password is forgotten.
1. Unplug the TCP/IP network cable (RJ45).
2. Toggle this dip switch ON for about 10 seconds, then back to OFF. The
system will then allow, for 5 minutes, to connect (from the local network
only) with the default login and password.
5. SYSTEM SETUP
5.1 ADDING READERS
Go to "Doors", select the reader(fig. 2) and then select the type of the reader in the
field "Card". (fig. 3). While off line, red LED blinks fast and buzzer beeps continuously.
Once communication is established, the red LED and the buzzer stop. Green LED
starts to blink continuously. If you want to stop the green LED, go to Settings/System
Options and select for the backlight ON or OFF (not default) (Fig. 4)

To add 2 readers on 1 Door, select the reader (Fig. 2) and there, for "Type of Access"
select "Access with 2 readers" (Fig. 5). Access with 2 readers is only available for doors
1.0 and 2.0, provided that a single door is not already configured in 1.1 or 2.1 respec-
tively (Fig. 6).
5.2 ADDING USERS
Go to Users (Fig. 1), select "New" (Fig. 2) and then fill the form (Name, Category, Card

5.3 ADDING SLAVE CONTROLLERS
Factory reset
One system can have up to 15 WS4 controllers (any model) and control up to 40
doors. One WS4-1D-E must be master, the others must be slaves. The master/slave
selection is made with Dip-switch 2: OFF - Master (factory setting), ON - Slave.
Go to "Doors" and click on the link "Add slave" (Fig. 1). Enter the serial number of the
WS4-1D-E to be added and click Search. If it finds it, the system directly adds this slave
into the installation and you can configure its doors (Fig. 2).
In case of error, a message is displayed in red.
