Web Control Communication Problem

[CAI_Support]

The LED on the network socket should not change color, only solid green and amber blinking.
Your scanner showed it find the MAC address and IP address, so that your board is already on the network.
What kind of operation system do you use, Windows or Linux?  Do you have firewall configured on the computer preventing it from access WebControl IP?
 
It is a puzzle your network scanner can detect WebControl on the network, but your computer can not ping it.
On your browser, did you enter http://192.168.1.15 then enter user name "admin" password "password"?

I am using Windows XP.
Today I tried again to connect the mains lead WebControl and not all of the indicators light up. Maybe I failed patching cord.
Typing in the browser 192.168.1.15 I do not see the window with a set of login / password.

Windows XP should work fine, if you don't have any firewall software to block access 192.168.1.15.  What is your XP's IP address?
 
WebControl has one red led to indicate power is on. A green LED blink every half second or so to indicate it is alive.
On the network socket, there are two LEDs, Green one indicate making connection to the network, amber one to indicate network activity.
When you say not all the indicator light up, which one do you say not lighting up?
 
Could you please post your XP computer network configuration screen capture?

Now I bought a new patching cord and connected to the router WebControl.
Green LED on the board first blink frequently. Then the left LED on the network connector starts to blink. Green LED on the board flashes are not very frequent. The LED on the router also blinks about once every 2 seconds.
This goes on for a long time.

"Green LED on the board first blink frequently" -- that is not normal.  Do you have any load connected to the 5V power?  If you have a multimeter, please measure the 5V is solid 5V when powered on.  I suspect the 5V regulator LM2940S  is damaged.  That regulator can be damaged if overloaded just for short period of time.

It's unpleasant to know that something is damaged.
I applied to the board voltage 9V recommended in the users guide.
I measured the voltage at the terminals LM2940S it was about 7V.
Here's a picture with the measuring points http://yadi.sk/d/MOsqTKwJ6RWjf
By WebControl nothing connected except the main power supply.

If you have not connected to any external load, it should be okay. However, your 9V power only provided 7V that is slightly lower than the regulator needed. We recommend to have 9V when you measure on the terminal.  Not stable power supply could produce the result looked exactly like a damaged regulator.

You were right. I replaced the power supply on the one that really shows 9V to contact LM2940S issued approximately 3,5 V. Wired to the router and the first time entered the WebControl.
Thank you for such a diligent support.
Question on AC power supply 9V. What should be the minimum if I'm going to paint Power Used about 4 relays and 4 sensors of temperature and humidity 1 to make it work and all missing?
Support at the height even for dummies like me.

If you pick WebControl to use, you are not dummy!  I know that from my heart.
We would recommend to use separate power for relay board, because relay could generate large spike on the line that may cause CPU to execute wrong code, if it penetrate into the WebControl power and logic circuit.

Thank you for the nice words. I still have enough questions, but they are related to other topics. For example as podklyuchet relay? I will begin to study the forum. If you can not find answers to your questions will be asked.
Thank you all for such a scientific society.

Thanks for your posting.  Actually your posting help other people, too. In many cases, users ran into bad power supply, or bad sensor. However, it is hard to tell which one is gone bad in the whole setup.  We had many times saw bad power supply caused board to restart or not running reliably.  However, sometimes people don't have a better power supply to try, or they don't have another sensor to try.
 
In our experience, if you could not find a good 9V power supply to try, try a 12V when it is not too hot for a day or two will not burn the board, but could identify if the previous power supply is weak.  Honeywell humidity sensor is another part sometimes cause trouble. They could be impacted by sun light, and their exposed sensor area could easily damaged by environment. But it is expensive to have few spare Honeywell humidity sensors laying around for testing.
