10.3.4. WLAN client mode
The WLAN module can be optionally configured as a WLAN client. In this operating mode,
the WLAN module can be implemented into an already existing WLAN network.
How to configure the WLAN module as WLAN client:
Requirements:
• The WLAN settings of the inverter can be accessed via »Emotron Easy starter«.
• Name (SSID) and password of the external WLAN network are known.
1. Set the selection "Client mode [1]" in 0x2441:006.
2. Set the name (SSID) of the external WLAN network in 0x2441:007.
3. Set the password of the external WLAN network in 0x2441:008.
Before activating the changed WLAN settings in the next step: Make sure
that the name (SSID) and the password of the external WLAN network are
set correctly. The restart of the WLAN module in the client mode causes a
termination of an existing WLAN connection in the access point mode!
4. Restart the inverter or remove and replug the WLAN module to activate the changed
WLAN settings.
The WLAN module now tries as a client to establish a connection to the set external WLAN
network.
Notes:
• In the default setting, the WLAN client is configured as DHCP client in 0x2441:004.
• Settings as IP address, subnetwork mask and gateway are automatically made by
the DHCP server of the external WLAN network.
• The active settings are displayed in 0x2442:001, 0x2442:002 and 0x2442:003.
• A static IP configuration can be made via the parameters 0x2441:001, 0x2441:002 and
0x2441:003.
