Establishing a connection to the energy
manager
If the energy manager has been integrated in your
existing home network (WiFi, Powerline Communica-
tion, Ethernet) during setup, the Web Application can
be accessed using the assigned IP address.
If it is not integrated in a home network, the hotspot
of the energy manager can be used as an alternative.
The WPS function can also be used to pair the energy
manager with an existing home network, e.g. network
router, without entering a password.
Moreover, direct connection to the router is possible
via an Ethernet cable and a PLC link to a PLC modem.
For information on establishing network connections,
g Refer to chapter "5. Selecting a network connec-
tion" on page 52.

ger access the Web Application via the IP address
of the hotspot (192.168.9.11) or the DNS address
