Using the LAN interface
Introduction
HCV7 is fitted with an Ethernet connecting, designed to be connected to the home net-
work (LAN) in order to be able to control and read out any operation details.
Setting IP address
On any computer network, each device needs its own IP address. It’s like a unique tele-
phone number.
Dynamic allocation:
If connecting the unit to a home router or similar LAN device with DHCP server built in,
the unit will pull its own unique IP address from the router, when powering up the unit.
Static allocation:
With the installer usb SW tools, it’s possible to set a static IP address to the unit. This is
done in order to be able to use the smartphone App from outside the LAN area.
This will also need the buildings WAN address to be fixed, and needs a setting of a
routing port forwarding table, inside the router setup.
Smartphone
Connecting a smartphone is simple.
Download the Apple App from App store, or the Android version from Google Play. Fol-
low the simple setup steps in order to find and connect to the unit on the LAN. If using
the smartphone from outside the home, you need to add the specific LAN incoming
port, as previous setup, into the router port forwarding table.
Please notice, that there is a limit of three simultaneous active devices with app. After
10 minutes inactivity, the device will be automatically disconnected.
