Connecting the Network Cable to the ECY-STAT
To connect ECY-STAT controllers to an Ethernet network and then discover them, see chapter First
Time Connection to an ECY-STAT.
Wireless Network Connection
To wirelessly connect to an ECY-STAT for the first time, see First Time Connection to an ECY-STAT.
Recommendations are provided regarding the radio signal obstructions and factors that should be
avoided to obtain the best Wi-Fi radio signal transmission and reception. Walls attenuate radio wave
propagation by an amount that varies with the construction materials used. See Radio Signal Transmis-
sion Obstructions for more information on wall materials that can reduce range transmission.
About the 2.4 GHz ISM Band
The 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band has been allocated worldwide for the use of
radio frequency energy by industrial, scientific, and medical purposes as part of the device’s method of
internal operation and as such may have powerful emissions that cause interference to radio commu-
nications.
For example, microwave ovens operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band with about 1000W emitted power
and a fraction of a percent of that energy does leak from the oven. While this is not a health risk, Wi-Fi
networks operate at even lower power levels to communicate and can be overwhelmed by this source
of interference.
When setting up a 2.4 GHz band Wi-Fi network, you must take into consideration any equipment that
operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band such as medical and laboratory equipment. Other sources of inter-
ference are other telecommunications equipment such as cell phones, GSM/DECT, cordless phones,
RFID reader, Bluetooth devices, walkie-talkies, baby monitors, and so on. Note that equipment that
transmits in other frequency bands do emit spurious emissions at low levels over a wide spectrum so
that a radio transmitter that is in close proximity to the ECY-STAT can cause interference, even if its
operating frequency is 1.9 GHz for example.

Distance Between the Wi-Fi Adapter and Sources of Interference
Unrelated transmitters should be more than 6.5 feet (2 m) away from the Wi-Fi Adapter to avoid possi-
ble interference.
