Distech Controls ECLYPSE ECY-STAT - Wi-Fi Hotspot

25ECLYPSE Connected Thermostat (ECY-STAT)
A second ECY-STAT controller can be configured as a wireless client. This can be used as a solution
to ‘jump’ architectural features that are not compatible with wires such as glass atriums. To configure
the Wi-Fi client connection mode, see Setting up a Wi-Fi Access Point Wireless Network.
An access point can provide Wi-Fi access to other Wi-Fi enabled clients and controllers.

Wi-Fi Hotspot
Should the wired network not use a DHCP server (uses fixed IP addresses); an ECY-STAT can be
configured to create a hotspot with a router that creates its own subnet and DHCP server which can
provide Wi-Fi access to other Wi-Fi enabled clients. This is the default connection method to the ECY-
STAT. A variety of software applications are available for system monitoring and override, commis-
sioning, configuration and programming.
A hotspot creates a subnetwork. As a result, any connected BACnet device will not be able to discover BACnet
devices on any other LAN subnetwork.
