NOTICE
Note the following to avoid a network conflict:
‣
Avoid accessing the measuring device simultaneously from the same mobile terminal
via the service interface (CDI-RJ45) and the WLAN interface.
‣
Only activate one service interface (CDI-RJ45 or WLAN interface).
‣
If simultaneous communication is necessary: configure different IP address ranges, e.g.
192.168.0.1 (WLAN interface) and 192.168.1.212 (CDI-RJ45 service interface).
Preparing the mobile terminal
‣
Enable WLAN on the mobile terminal.
Establishing a WLAN connection from the mobile terminal to the measuring device
1. In the WLAN settings of the mobile terminal:
Select the measuring device using the SSID (e.g. EH_Promass_500_A802000).
2. If necessary, select the WPA2 encryption method.
3. Enter the password:
Serial number of the measuring device ex-works (e.g. L100A802000).
 The LED on the display module flashes. It is now possible to operate the
measuring device with the web browser, FieldCare or DeviceCare.
The serial number can be found on the nameplate.
To ensure the safe and swift assignment of the WLAN network to the measuring
point, it is advisable to change the SSID name. It should be possible to clearly assign
the new SSID name to the measuring point (e.g. tag name) because it is displayed as
the WLAN network.
Terminating the WLAN connection
‣
After configuring the device:
Terminate the WLAN connection between the mobile terminal and measuring device.
