More Info

Web-Xpander's built-in Web pages provide an easy to use, point-and-click user interface which can be viewed and operated from any browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.). Direct access buttons let you navigate through the control menus for Lighting, A/V, Security, HVAC, X10, Digital Inputs, Analog Inputs, Relays, Timers, Flags, Variables, ASCII, History, Msg Log, Tel Log. Each menu lists devices by their defined names with buttons that display status and provide control. The "Lighting" menu, for example, lists the defined X10-controlled lights by name with On, Off, Idle buttons that provide direct control and indicate status. The "X10" button takes you to the familiar "MegaController" menu which lets you monitor status and control all 256 X10 addresses on a single screen.
The Web-Xpander mounts just above the Telephone/IVR "daughter" board using two metal standoffs (included). The RS-232 input port connects to your PC com port. The RS-232 output port connects to Stargate's Com-1 port via an included modular data cable. Since your PC and the Web-Xpander both share Stargate's Com-1 port, Stargate's Com-2 and Com-3 ports are still available for connecting other serial devices. The Ethernet port connects to your network router using a standard ethernet cable. The power terminals connect to Stargate's on-board 12VDC supply.
With the Web-Xpander, your Stargate can be programmed to send e-mail messages in response to any set of conditions. If your cell phone or PDA is equipped to receive e-mail messages, you can have Stargate automatically notify you when your security system status changes (armed, disarmed, alarm, etc.), temperatures get to high or low, or even simple reminders such as "Take your medication!"
The Web-Xpander can be configured to automatically synchronize your Stargate's internal clock daily via the internet to maintain an accurate time setting. The Web-Xpander can pass ASCII strings from its Ethernet port to its RS-232 serial port to Stargate, allowing networked systems to communicate to Stargate and enabling the use of a wide variety of user interface options (software and hardware).
The Web-Xpander setup software includes a utility that copies your Stargate databases (X10, IR, HVAC, security, I-O, flags, variables) from your PC and loads them into the Web-Xpander's memory. This allows all your Stargate system devices to be identified by their defined names ("Living Room Light", "Garage Door", etc.) without having to retype them.
Using a 3rd party transfer utility, you can create a virtual serial port/modem on your PC that when "dialed" actually makes a connection over the network. Once configured, you can connect to the Stargate via the Web Xpander. All features, including schedule downloads, are possible in this configuration.
