NETWORK SETUP
In order to change target settings (room pressure, etc) and to monitor the status of the Make-Up Air Unit, it
is necessary to connect the MUA control panel to your local area network (LAN).
This is accomplished by doing the following:
- Connect an Ethernet cable (not incl.) between the control panel and your wireless LAN router (see
diagram below). NOTE: CAT-5 cable is usually unshielded, do not run it parallel to high-voltage wiring.
Building codes require low-voltage wiring to be run through conduit.
- Verify that the router has DHCP turned on. DHCP assigns an IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.7) to connected
devices. DHCP and is normally on by default.
- Once connected, you can "lock in" that IP address. This is done within the router software, and is often
referred to as "IP reservation". The router will also have a 'tab' in which you can find the IP address of the
MUA unit controller. An easy way to find the MUA unit controller is to look for connected devices with
"MAC addresses" similar to " B0:D5:CC:41:98:4F". The MAC vendor will show up as "Texas Instruments" or
"Beagle Bone"
- The device you are using to interface with must be on the same network you are attempting to access. So
if you are using a tablet, set the tablets wireless connection to the network the MUA is connected to.
Open a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, or others) and type in the assigned IP address in the URL
bar. You should see a web page showing the MUA Interface and the status of the MUA controller.
Tip:
can be used to locate the MUA Controller on the network which shows up as "Texas
Instruments" or "Beagle Bone". This will give you the IP address.
- a bookmark can be created for the MUA Unit’s address when the IP address has been “locked in” allowing
you quick access, yet flexibility.
- we also suggest you keep the digital pdf of this iom on the device you are using to interface with.
Be advised that some wireless mobile devices might not be able to scan or locate devices on local networks
due to rigorous security measures implemented by the device manufacturers. Usually an updated app will
fix that.
