The system supports both WEP and WPA security.
In
a Wi-Fi
c
onfiguration
,
the following
information is required:
SSID (Name and whether or not it is broadcast)
Encryption Type (WEP/WPA/WPA2/etc.)
Encryption Key/Pass Phrase
(NOTE: if these are regularly changed, please provide
notification in advance of the new key, along with the planned date and time of
change, on an ongoing basis).
The system can also support a static IP address on a Wi-Fi network; in this case the system can
be provisioned locally even where no DHCP server is available. The same information as
requested above for an Ethernet connection is required. If a proxy service is used, the IP
address or URL and port number must be provided.
NOTE: The optional Wi-Fi smart thermostat does not have an Ethernet option.
Peer-to-peer
access must be enabl
ed
for SiteSage to be able to connect to the Wi-Fi thermostat
. If the
Gateway is sharing a public Wi-Fi network, where peer-to-peer access is not advisable, please
set up a separate SSID for SiteSage Gateway. The SiteSage Z-Wave thermostat connects
directly to the Gateway and requires no access to the facility network.
For each facility in which SiteSage will be installed, please answer the questions on the
following page in order to facilitate the network installation process.
