Network connection - Visualisation
The IQntrol DOS MODBUS device series has an implemented web interface. Access occurs via an Ethernet (LAN) interface. If a
IQntrol DOS MODBUS is integrated in an existing home network, authorised network devices will be able to access it. This only
requires that a common web browser is installed on the terminal devices, such as a PC laptop, tablet or smartphone. The
browser shows a picture of the device's display view. This allows the remote viewing of the measuring values, settings (control
parameters), log data as well as operating states, alarms and disruptions.
The data transmission from the device occurs via a cable. For this, a network cable with an RJ45 plug is required. Outside of the
device, the further transmission can be realised via a cable to the router or wirelessly, e.g., with a wireless access point via
WLAN.
Notice
The devices are not DHCP-enabled: therefore, they cannot be registered with the network via Plug and Play.
Accordingly, a certain amount of technical knowledge in the area of IT networks is required.
If needed, please consult your network administrator, who is familiar with your home network.
Notice
We cannot assume any liability for the safety of the data transmission. The evaluation of the need for and
implementation of safety measures such as VPN connection, password assignment and updating of the
corresponding systems is the sole responsibility of the user or the persons authorised by the user for this purpose!

Network installation
9.1.1
Insert the network line into the control housing
The lower connection room of the control housing is equipped with a pre-moulded push-out for a 25 mm screw connection with a
jam nut. A normal RJ45 plug can be directly inserted into the housing via a 25 mm screw connection. A multiple sealing insert 2 x 6
mm is used for sealing instead of the normal rubber gasket. The multiple sealing insert's second orifice is closed with a 6 m plug.
Alternatively, a network line without a plug can be inserted in a smaller screw connection, and the plug can be crimped on the
wire inside of the device.
Due to their size, RJ45 plugs for field assembly are not suitable.
9.1.2
Localise the LAN interface
All IQntrol DOS MODBUS devices are equipped with a LAN interface, which is located on the lower front side.
