IP network
System requirements
■ WiFi router with activated WiFi. The WiFi router must
be protected by a sufficiently secure WPA2 pass-
word. Do not use an unencrypted connection for the
Vitoconnect and WiFi router.
■ Internet connection with "flat rate" (tariff independ-
ent of time and data volume) and high availability,
i.e. the Vitoconnect is permanently linked to the
Viessmann server.
■ Have dynamic IP addressing (DHCP, factory setting)
on the network (WiFi) checked on site, and if
required set up, by an IT expert
prior to commis-
sioning.
■ Determine the routing and security parameters in the
IP network (LAN) as follows: Enable port 80,
port 123, port 443 and port 8883 for direct outward
connections. Have this checked and, if necessary,
set up on site by an IT expert
before commissioning.
Note
During operation, the Vitoconnect establishes a secure
internet connection to the Viessmann server. Connect-
ing the Vitoconnect to any other type of server is not
possible.
