Gateway module installed. A wireless socket is then connected to it as a remote station. The S-Connect protocol
is transmitted over the wireless network and replaces the older protocol used in previous firmware versions for
this wireless communication.
PAIRING OF STATIONS TO THE ACCESS POINT
If the station is not connected to an access point, it sends a pairing request. This request is implemented
differently depending on the physical layer used:
a)
Ethernet connection: The station sends a request periodically every 10 s. The station sends a UDP
broadcast, which the access point receives if it is connected to the same local network. This UDP
broadcast uses IP 255.255.255.255 and port 50161. For the request to arrive, this port must not be
blocked on the network and the UDP broadcast function must not be blocked either.
b)
Wireless connection: The station registers in the wireless network managed by the SC-Gateway
module and the request is then sent from the SC-Gateway module to the unit to which the module is
connected and which always acts as an access point. The wireless device must be within range of the
SC-Gateway for the request to arrive. If the request does not arrive and even after a longer period of
time (1 minute or more) and the information below is not displayed, then the station is probably out
of range. Then proceed according to chapter Troubleshooting. The request arrives only once, to show
the request again station restart is needed (switch it off and on again).
The station pairing request is then displayed to the user in the access point control interface, and the user must
decide whether or not to allow the station to pair with the access point.
The pairing request then looks like this:
Figure 11: A dialog box showing the new station pairing request.
The user can then acknowledge the request and add the station to the specified row of the station table or
reject the request, then add the station to the internal list of ignored stations so that the next time the access
point ignores its repeated request.
To confirm the pairing or reject the station, it is necessary to write the configuration to the controller.
As soon as a station is added to the station table of the access point, the access point starts communicating
with that station immediately.
This is also reflected in the station control interface, where the given access point appears in the first row of
the station table.
This completes the pairing.
