Step 6: Connecting the internet connection
Internet connection
The PowerRouter has two (RJ45) sockets, one of which has a blind hole cover (intended for the sensor). The
upper socket is used for connecting to the Internet. The PowerRouter uses this connection to send log data
to the Nedap server once per minute, which can then be read and monitored remotely. These log data are
available to customers, installation engineers and dealers at myPowerRouter.com. The information provided by
this webportal can be found in the myPowerRouter.com brochure. This functionality is provided free of charge.

Communication
The PowerRouter communicates with the internet via port 80. This port must be available in the network. A
second condition is that the internet router in the network must provide dynamic IP addresses. Installation
engineers can use the display on the PowerRouter to check whether the PowerRouter has an active server
connection (via ‘Status internet connection’ in the control menu).
