Start-up via WIFI
To start up the device directly, the first option is to carry out the installation interactively with a WIFI-compat-
ible adapter. If such an adapter is not available, the other option is to perform an automatic configuration using
a USB memory stick.
Application

A DC supply to the KACO device is sufficient for start-up.
Required components
– WiFi-compatible notebook, tablet or smartphone (Android or iOS devices can be used).
– USB WiFi stick (KACO accessory, type: WLAN adapter Digitus 150 N micro article no.: 3013222)

mobile device. Every device generates a unique AP-name based on its serial number so that it is possible to install sev-
eral devices at the same time if multiple WiFi sticks happen to be available.
F
Name of access point: <Device designation serial number> (e.g. “bp87-<serial number>” or “bp150-<serial number>”)
