Figure3: Network Segment for HVAC IP Controllers
For certain wireless topologies, a wireless router can be used to connect to the controller. In this sce-
nario, a wireless operator interface (laptop or tablet) can be used for commissioning as shown in the
figure below. If the laptop has a Supervisor installed, it can be used to program ECB series controllers
connected to the RS-485 port of the Connected System Controller.
Figure4: Network Segment for HVAC IP Controllers with a Wireless Access Point
If a wireless router is unavailable or is out-of-range, an ECLYPSE Wi-Fi adapter can be connected to
an controller’s USB port to add wireless connectivity. See Wireless Network Connection.
