There are two methods for connecting the boiler to an IP network:
1. Installing an Ethernet cable that connects from the boiler (RJ 45 Ethernet Jack) to the
router.
2.
Purchasing and installing a wireless access point device connected to the Ethernet jack.
The wireless access point device must be configured to operate in client mode (to enable
the router to function as a wireless client).
There are many wireless access point devices on the market such as the TP-LINK AV500
Nano Powerline Adapter Starter kit. The adapter plugs into an electrical wall socket, and
connects to a router via an Ethernet cable.
Once an IP network connection is established, using one of the above methods, the router
automatically requests the IP address, Net Mask, Net Mask, and the default gateway as part of
the TCP/IP protocol configuration settings.
Warning
Ensure the boiler controller is configured with a "local" network IP address, with
access to the Internet through a properly configured and enabled firewall device. IBC
Technologies Inc. does not approve connecting the boiler controller directly to the
Internet using a "public" IP address, or connecting without a secure firewall device.
On the controller's "Network Settings" screen ( > Network Settings), the TCP/IP group of
parameters includes the basic settings required to connect to an IP network. By default DHCP is
selected.
When DHCP is activated the other four entries (IP address, the gateway, DNS server, and
Net Mask) are not required, and their entry boxes are disabled.
When assigning a boiler with a fixed IP address, tap "Manual" and manually enter the
boiler’s IP Address, Net Mask, DNS Server address and Gateway address.
