Porsche Home Energy Manager Manual Del Usuario página 23

If there is no home network available at the place
of use, your end device can log in directly to the
energy manager via its WiFi hotspot. However, this
means that there is no internet connection and only
the locally installed functions are available.
Information
In the Web Application, the hotspot connection
should only be disabled if integration into a home
network is possible.
g Observe the operating instructions for the Porsche
Home Energy Manager.
e
Select the desired network connection (WiFi,
Powerline Communication (PLC), Ethernet).
WiFi
The energy manager can be connected to an existing
WiFi network (e.g. via a network router).
Client mode is activated in the Web Application. The
energy manager can be added to the network both
manually by entering a password or automatically by
using the existing WPS function.
If the energy manager is connected to the network
router, it automatically obtains an IP address that can
be viewed in the settings of the energy manager and
router.
The prerequisite for using a WiFi connection is that
the WiFi network is received at the place of use of
the device. Does your smartphone, which is logged
into your WiFi network, have WiFi reception at the
place of use of the energy manager? If reception is
weak, it can be improved by changing the WiFi router
or using a WiFi repeater.
1. Activate WiFi.
�� Available WiFi networks are displayed.
2. Add the energy manager to the WiFi network:
– Option 1:entering password
–
Select the relevant network from the
list and enter the security code.
Different network: Select if the network
should be invisible.
– Select that the IP address should be as-
signed automatically (recommended).
– Option 2: through the WPS function
– Press the WPS button on the network
router.
– Within 2 minutes, select theWPS but-
ton in the Web Application and select
the relevant network from among the
available networks.
�� The IP address appears as soon as the con-
nection to the network is established.
In the list, the network shows the sta-
tusConnected.
Powerline Communication (PLC)
Communication with the Powerline Communication
takes place via the power supply network. The exist-
ing power grid is used to establish a local network for
data transmission.
The energy manager can be linked to a PLC network
in two ways:
Start first installation
As PLC client:
The energy manager is registered as a client
in a PLC network. The PLC modem assigns an
IP address to the energy manager and enables
communication via the power grid. The security
code of the energy manager must be entered on
the PLC modem.
– Note: A PLC modem with HomePlug standard
is required for this purpose (not included in the
scope of supply).
With DHCP server:
The energy manager can act as a DHCP server.
This allows the charger to be connected directly
to the energy manager without the need for
a PLC modem. This assumes the activation of
the DHCP server in the Web Application. Other
connections (e.g. WiFi or Ethernet) can be main-
tained at the same time. Internet can also be
made available to the charger via this path.
