Communicating with the controller and gaining access to the
controller’s web page can be done in three ways;
1.
Setting up a WiFi access point with SSID and passcode
‘RDMInstall’ / RDMInstall’ and using the default settings of
the controller.
2.
Temporarily using an Ethernet board in the intuitive
controller to first connect to a wired IP network.
3.
Temporarily using an RS232 communication board to
connect serially to a PC running the Communicator software
The
addressing mode, the ID and the IP address can also be viewed or configured through the ‘
net
’ menu of the controller via the controller
display, but only when the WiFi comms board is plugged in.
Note:
The WiFi key ca
n only be entered through the controller’s web pages.
WiFi Key
The Wifi key that is set into the intuitive controller is a single 64
digit hex key. This key is a coded combination of the WifFi
network SSID and the passphrase. The key can be calculated/
generated using a specific WPA PSK generator. One such
generator can be found at
http://www.wireshark.org/tools/wpa-
psk.html
although there are other such sites. This type of
generator uses the SSID and passphrase to generate the required
64 digit key by the controller. The key should be copied and
pasted into the Intuitive controller’s settings.
Once the WiFi key is set, it is no longer visible for security
reasons. The WiFi field within the
setup page will show ‘set’ rather
than ‘default’ when the key has been set.
Wireless Net menu
When a WiFi communications board is connected to the Intuitive controller, the ‘Net’ menu on the display is extended to allow configuration. The
net menu options will now be;
IP-r (or IP-L)
Same as existing

3 digit setting
– replacing the three rotary switches on the Ethernet board.
