Wireless Connection To The Internet; Open Networks With A Mac Address Filter - ABB CDD Product Manual

W
ireless connection to the internet
The wireless connection of the CDD is enabled by default and requires a router with IEEE 802.11b communication
protocol that will transmit the data to the web portal when there is an internet connection.
Requirements of the router:
• Compatibility with IEEE 802.11 communication protocol*
• Visible SSID
• WPA and WPA-2 security protocols supported.
* Check compatibility list in the appendix and on the website; a standard access point may be utilized to bridge
the CDD to an incompatible router.
The process of detecting WiFi networks within range begins as soon as the green LED is diplayed on the CDD.
• [XX] indicates number of networks found
• Open, WPA/WPA2 indicates type of protection; security protected networks require a security/passkey
• [00] indicates signal level/strength of connection, from 1-4 indicated by the number of characters
• Additional steps are required when connecting to networks with MAC address filters (see below).
The continuation of the installation differs depending on the type of protection of the selected network (Open,
WPA/WPA2). If no wireless networks are found, it may be necessary to change the DHCP settings, (page 24.)

pen networks with a MAC address filter
The MAC address is used to set up the configuration menu of the router which is not supplied
by ABB. Refer to documentation from the manufacturer of the router for instructions to add
the CDD to the list of enabled MAC addresses on the router.
The MAC address can be found on the CDD product label as illustrated on page 8 and is
used to configure the router prior to connection. If the router has not been configured, the
MAC address will be displayed during the connection procedure as follows:
• The CDD will start the connection as shown above.
• The connection is refused and a Fail message is displayed.
• The WiFi MAC address of the CDD is displayed.
Once the router is configured, power down the CDD to restart the
configuration procedure outlined above.
