2.2 Direct Connection via your LAN
Connecting the system to the local LAN via a network cable connected from the VAV12 MPM module to the
client’s
router or a switch connected to the router is the preferred and best method for regular connection.
You can then access the system from anywhere the client has LAN coverage. This will also give you access to
SAI HVACs Mothership service (see 3.3)
(Figure 6)
To check if the VAV12 system is connected to your network type
chatterbox.local
into your browser, this will
bring up the GUI and allow you access to your system.
NOTE:
Some older routers ship with UPNP disabled. You should check the router instruction manual for details on how to check this setting.
Without UPNP enabled, the system cannot connect. Remember that after power failure the router may assign a different IP number to your
system. In this case you will need to scan the network with FING or similar program to find the new IP. It is possible to set a fixed IP in your
router settings however the method varies depending on your router brand and model. Your IT specialist should be able to help. Connecting
your system to your router using a cable gives a level of access control as access can only be achieved by persons or devices having your
LAN access password.
