LOCAL NETWORK INTERFACE
MANAGING THE WLAN/WIFI CONNECTION
The ECU operates in two communication modes: WLAN and as a wi hub.
When operating in WLAN mode, the ECU connects to the local network
router via its wi capabilities (eliminating the need for a PLC bridge
or wi extender between the ECU and network router), allowing you to
monitor and manage the ECU through the local network.
When functioning as a wi hub, the ECU can directly communicate
wirelessly with mobile devices, and/or a PC.
NOTE: The ECU’s wireless functionality is for ongoing monitoring and
ECU management, not initial installation. Initial ECU installation
requires that you use a wi extender, PLC bridge, or direct CAT5
connection to the network router.
NOTE: The ECU operates as a wi hub by default.
To Change the ECU to WLAN Mode
