10.3.2. WLAN basic settings
The WLAN functionality can be configured via the following parameters.
Preconditions
WLAN module has been plugged onto the interface X16 on the front of the inverter.
Details
• The WLAN module can be connected and removed during operation.
• The WLAN module can either create an own WLAN network (access point mode,
default setting) or implement itself as a WLAN client in an already existing WLAN
network. For details see the following subchapters.
• The WLAN connection is encrypted. The WLAN encryption can be selected in
0x2441:009.
• 0x2441:012 can be used to set that the name of the WLAN network, called SSID, is not
visible for other WLAN devices. As a result, the number of WLAN networks displayed
on smartphone or PC can be reduced.
• Two data sources are possible for the WLAN settings: Inverter and WLAN module.
• Data source inverter: The WLAN settings saved in the inverter are used. Each
inverter has its own WLAN settings.
• Data source WLAN module: The WLAN settings saved in the WLAN module are
used. In this "stand-alone" mode, the WLAN module can be plugged onto another
inverter and then be used with the same settings (irrespective of the WLAN
settings of the inverter).
• The data source is activated with 0x2440.
• The currently active data source is displayed in 0x2442:004.

Info
Initiate WLAN
From version 02.00
Restart WLAN network with default setting or current settings.

The WLAN settings of the active data source (inverter or WLAN
mod
ule) are used.
The active data source is displayed in 0x2442:004.
The data source is not changed by this selection.
Note!
This selection is currently not supported by the WLAN module V1.0.
Restart with default values
Restart WLAN network with default setting of the WLAN parameters.
The WLAN settings saved in the WLAN module are deleted.
Active data source for the WLAN settings is now the inverter.
Restart with current values
Restart WLAN network with current settings of the WLAN parameters.
The current settings are saved in the WLAN module.
Active data source for the WLAN settings is now the WLAN module.
WLAN settings: DHCP
From version 02.00
1 = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled.
In the access point mode, the DHCP server of the WLAN module is
activated.
In the client mode, the DHCP-client function is activated.

0 ... [0] ... 4294967295
From version 02.00
Definition of the start address when the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) is used.
Only relevant for access point mode.
When 0 is set, the active IP address + 1 is used as start address.
WLAN settings: WLAN operation mode
From version 02.00
Definition of the operating mode of the WLAN module.
For a direct connection to another WLAN device, the WLAN module
creates an own WLAN network.
