11.4.5 Connecting the C_BOX with the brake tester
To connect a C_BOX with a brake tester of the CONNECT series, two steps are
necessary. These steps are identical for new and already set up devices.
1 Integrate the C_BOX into the network of the test bench.
2 Couple the C_BOX with the test bench.
Establishing a network connection
The network connection can be established in two ways:
•
wirelessly via WiFi. This requires a WiFi router with WPS functionality connected
to the test bench, e.g. the TP-Link of the test bench (see section "Establishing a
WiFi connection").
•
wired via network cable (min. CAT 5).
Establishing a WiFi connection
1 Press the WPS button on the WiFi router or activate the WPS function.
o
This varies depending on the router, see the respective product
documentation.
o
When using the TP-Link, briefly press the "WPS/Reset" button.
2 Briefly press the WPS button on the C_BOX. To do this, press with a thin object
into the
upper opening.
3 Please wait (currently no visual feedback in the user interface or on the display).
4 After a few minutes, the name of the test bench WiFi (SSID) appears in the "WiFi
name" field on the configuration page, and the IP address updates accordingly.
Establishing a LAN connection
1 Connect the C_BOX to the test bench via LAN cable.
o
Plug one end of the network cable into the RJ45 socket of the C_BOX.
o
Plug the other end on the control board ZM preferably into the RJ45 socket X13
"MAHA". If a router with free ports is already connected to this, connect the
LAN cable there.
2 The C_BOX is configured as a DHCP client and thus automatically receives an IP
address from the control board.
