NOTICE
If the WLAN connection is lost during the configuration, settings made may be lost.
‣
Make sure that the WLAN connection is not disconnected while configuring the device.
NOTICE
In principle, avoid simultaneous access to the measuring device via the service
interface (CDI-RJ45) and the WLAN interface from the same operating unit. This
could cause a network conflict.
‣
Only activate one service interface (CDI-RJ45 service interface 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).
Preparation
‣
Enable WLAN reception on the operating unit.
Establishing a connection
1. 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).
LED on 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.
Disconnecting
‣
Once the configuration is completed, disconnect the WLAN connection between the
operating unit and the measuring device.
