6. Internet connectivity
Connect the Color Control GX to the internet to get all the advantages of the VRM Portal. The CCGX sends data from all
connected products to the VRM portal - from where you can monitor energy usage, view the current status of connected products,
configure email alarms and download data in CSV and Excel formats.
To monitor this data from your smartphone or tablet download the iOS or Android VRM App.
In addition to remote monitoring, an active internet connection allows the CCGX to regularly check for a new firmware versions -
which (depending on the setting) will be automatically downloaded and installed.
There are several ways to connect a CCGX to the internet:
• Run a network cable between a router and the CCGX Ethernet LAN port
• Connect to a router wirelessly using a USB Wi-Fi dongle plugged into the CCGX
• Via a mobile (cellular) network, using the GX LTE 4G - a cellular USB modem or, with a 3G or 4G router
• USB Tethering via a mobile phone
This video explains how to connect LAN, WiFi and a GX GSM (also applies to GX LTE 4G):
6.1. Ethernet LAN port
When you connect an ethernet cable between a router and CCGX, the Settings → Ethernet page of your CCGX will confirm
connection.
Before connecting the ethernet cable, be very careful not to confuse the GX device Ethernet port with
the VE.Bus or VE.Can/BMS-Can ports!
