FIRST-TIME USE
N.B.
- EVlinking Wi-Fi uses an encrypted connection with TLS technology
and occupies the TCP 8883 port. Make sure this firewall port (both
the port of the user’s local network and the one managed by the
Internet service provider) is open for outgoing communications
(contact the IT manager)
- Ensure the user has a multimedia device (PC/laptop, tablet,
smartphone) with a web browser installed and that the device is
able to upload and download files. If the device has an iOS
operating system, files can only be uploaded and downloaded if
the user has an iCloud account and if access to this service has
previously been made with the device
- Ensure the Wi-Fi on the device is on

for the connected controller
-
there is no connection with the cloud server.
After 120 s (600 for the first-time use) in
set-up mode
, EVlinking Wi-
Fi will automatically go into
run mode
if the control panel has not
been accessed (point 9 of this paragraph). During this mode:

EVlinking Wi-Fi acts as a data logger for the connected
controller
-
there is no connection with the cloud server.

Scan the Wi-Fi networks using the multimedia device and identify a
network called
Epoca
followed by 6 alphanumeric characters.
If the scan detects more than one network called
Epoca
, make sure
only one EVlinking Wi-Fi is being powered.
