COMMUNICATION INTERFACES
15.1
USB
The USB interface is the preferred interface for configuring, monitoring, and downloading device logs. It is the only interface which can never be
disabled. To access it, you must install
NXperience
for Windows. This way, the USB driver will be installed (see chapter
). A standard
micro-USB cable (not supplied) must be used for desktop or notebook connection.
When connecting the USB cable, the respective icon should light up on the device’s display, indicating that its interface is ready for use. On first
use, you must wait for Windows to automatically install the driver already preinstalled by
NXperience
. The device’s configuration, monitoring and
data download, made through the USB interface, must be performed by
NXperience
.
The USB interface is NOT insulated.
Its purpose is temporary use during CONFIGURATION, MONITORING, and LOG DOWNLOAD. For the safety of
people and devices, it should only be used when the device is disconnected from the external power supply.
It is possible to use the USB interface in any other connection condition, although the decision requires a careful
analysis by the person in charge of installation.

WI-FI
LogBox Wi-Fi
has an 802.11 interface in 2.4 Ghz b/g/n standards for sending registered data through protocols compatibles with the device. The
Wi-Fi interface also sends some device’s configuration parameters of the
LogBox Wi-Fi
through these same protocols.
This interface supports WPA-Personal (PSK) WPA/WPA2 TKIP/AES/TKIP and AES encryption.
If the Wi-Fi interface is enabled and the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the
symbol will remain lit. While data is being sent through
this interface, the symbol
will remain lit.
While the LogBox Wi-Fi is operating on batteries and to reduce power consumption, Wi-Fi will remain disabled. All other
features of the device, however, remain operable for at least one year.
When power from the power supply is restored, the Wi-Fi interface will be activated, and the data recorded in memory
during the power interruption will be published.
