The configuration of the 

 converter is made through the 

TCP-485 Config 

smartphone 

TCP-485 WiFi Log

(Android or iOS) app. The app can be found and dowloaded from the Play Store (Android) or App Store 
(iOS). The app’s home screen is shown in Figure 01.

During  configuration,  it  is  advisable  to  be  close  to  the 
converter  to  view  the  LED  indications,  as  shown  by  the 
signal  table  (item  9).  When  energized,  the 

TCP-485 

WiFi Log

 converter will keep the POWER and STATUS 

LEDs  on  in 

white 

for  approximately  7  (seven)  seconds, 

indicating the device’s initialization.
After initialization, the color of the POWER LED will indicate 
the TCP operating mode, and the STATUS LED, the status of 
its connection, as per item 9.

Setting up the converter for the first time:

The converter leaves the factory in the Wifi Access Point operating mode. After initialization, the POWER 
LED will be on in 

lilac 

and the STATUS LED will be flashing in 

yellow

. At this moment, the TCP-485 WiFi Log 

awaits the connection of a client on its Wireless network created according to the standards specified in item 
8.1. Using a smartphone with the 

TCP-485 Config 

app, choose the option 

Connect on a TCP-485

. The 

screen in Figure 02 will appear. Choose the 

OK 

option, and the smartphone’s Wi-Fi network selection 

interface will open (Figure 03). Connect to the network created by the converter (Figure 04) and ignore if the 
smartphone alerts that the closen network does not have access to the internet. Press the back button, and 
the smartphone will return to the 

TCP-485 Config 

app and display the 

Converter Search 

screen (Figure 

05). Only the converter being configured will appear on this screen, since it is the access point itself. Select 
the converter and proceed to select the operating mode (items 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4).
