Installation
For the product installation, please follow the steps given in the installation guide or refer to this web page for additional information: https://intesis.com/products/ac-interfaces/wifi-gateways
Device configuration and setup
Device factory settings is WiFi access point. WiFi access point means that the device generates their own WiFi network, so your PC or smartphone can connect to it. Once connected, you can access to device settings by using a web browser and configure the WiFi network that the device will use. All this process is easily done in two steps.
3.1. Device configuration via webbrowser (via PC or smartphone)
From now on, the whole process is explained as if the integration is being done from a PC but can be extended as if a smartphone were being used instead.
3.1.1 STEP 1: Connect to WiFi network
The device WiFi network should be visible after a few seconds once the device is powered. It is possible to identify the WiFi network of the device by its SSID name (WiFi network name):
DEVICE_XXXXXX
where “ XXXXXX ” corresponds with the last 6 characters of the device MAC address (MAC address is available in a silver sticker on the box, on device manual and on the device itself).
In the following screenshot you can see an example at doing a WiFi network
scan and how this network may be found.
As the network is an open network, no password is required.
3.1.2 STEP 2: Configure your local WiFi network in the device
We are referring as local WiFi network as the WiFi network to which the device will be connected to. Next step is, hence, to configure this network in the device.
To do this, once your PC connected to device WiFi network as explained in step 1, open a web browser and access to the device configuration settings, available in the following IP address:
192.168.10.1
After loading the page, you will have accessed to the device main page. In this case, no login was still performed so you will be logged as a guest user. You can see current user active on the top-right side of the webpage.
Log in by clicking on User section:
Login as administrator
by using the default credentials. Admin user is required to access to WiFi
configuration:
- User: admin
- Password: admin
Once logged as admin, go to section Configuration.
In this section you can find the WiFi networks in Access Point settings. But before going to the configuration side, all information on this view is explained:
General
It indicates the model of the device and offers an identify device function. Clicking on this button, it will make the LED of the device blink white for a few seconds.
IP settings
It allows configuration of IP parameters of the device, which will take effect
when connected to a certain WiFi.
Parameters IP Address, IP Netmask, IP Gateway and DHCP can be changed
in this section.
Access Point settings
It allows to configure your local WiFi network. This network must be reachable from device’s location (WiFi coverage good enough).
This configuration may be done in different ways: WiFi search , were you can explore the WiFi networks available and select the one desired (recommended), Manual configuration , for hidden SSID, and WPS , for a quick setup. In the last choice consider safety recommendations regarding to the WPS usage of a private WiFi network.
WiFi search
Click ‘Wi-Fi search’ to use this function. Scan may take up to 45 seconds and the results appear in a list:
Your desired local Wi-Fi network must be visible in the list. Once located,
click “select” to move to the next step.
In the next step you can include the corresponding password for selected
network. Include it and click Save / Reboot.
Manual configuration (hidden SSID)
SSID, Security standard and Password can be entered in corresponding fields of Access Point settings section. This allows for connection to Wi-Fi networks with hidden SSID.
To end the process, button Save / Reboot must be pressed.
WPS
This function is available by clicking WPS button. Once pressed, WPS procedure will start and a dialog window will appear providing further instructions to complete the process.
Applying WiFi configuration
Once the device starts to apply the local WiFi network, the following page will be displayed. At the end of the sequence, once the device is successfully connected, LED will remain OFF:
If process does not finish properly (LED is not OFF), the configuration process failed in some point (for example, wrong password used or others).
In this case, it is necessary to repeat the configuration process. Before initializing this process, it is necessary to do a factory recovery in the device, which will move the device back to WiFi access point. To proceed, press and hold the device button for 10s. Device’s LED will blink green and go to steady green. At this point, device is back to WiFi access point (DEVICE_XXXXXX) and configuration process can be initialized.
3.2. Device configuration via WMP-CONFIG (via PC)
WMP-CONFIG is a Windows compatible tool developed specifically to monitor and configure Intesis WMP series gateways. A unique configuration tool is used for all the WiFi serie products. The tool can be downloaded from:
https://intesis.com/products/ac-interfaces/wifi-gateways
Install the software and open it. The devices present in the network will appear automatically on the left column with some general information. Discover process may take up to 1 minute.
Device name changes into blue when a correct connection is stablished. If the connection is lost, it changes into red.
3.2.1 Device firmware update
If the device detects a new firmware available, the following window will appear automatically
During the firmware update, the device might disappear from the list or the name might change into red. Once the process finishes, device restarts and after a few seconds will be available in the list.
3.2.2 Configuration
The configuration window displays general information of the product: name, reference, MAC, IP address…
Shift Temperature parameter allows to define a correction in the measurement of the ambient temperature. A value from -5 to 5 ºC can be selected. This is a useful option when the device is installed close to some heat/cool source and the measurement of the ambient temperature does not match with the real one.
Only for INWMPUNI001I000 product you can find Subfamily, Model and Auto Learn. These three fields allow the configuration of a specific IR remote. It can be selected manually or be discovered automatically by using auto learn.
3.2.2.1 Auto Learn (only for INWMPUNI001I000)
Auto learn function is available for INWMPUNI001I000 products with the firmware version 1.0.3 or newer. This function allows to identify the infrared remote control automatically by only sending a command pointing to the WMP device.
This function requires internet access. Accordingly, INWMPUNI001I000 must be connected to a WiFi network with internet connection.
To initiate the function, press Open Auto Learn and follow the instructions given in the pop-up window:
If RCF’s are discovered, they will appear in the “Accepted RCF’s” section:
Finally, once the correct RCF is selected from the list, press Send Selected RCF and automatically Subfamily and Model will be filled according to your remote.
If there were any error during this process, please, refer to the different sequences explained in 4 AUTOLEARN FUNCTION THROUGH DEVICE BUTTON (ONLY INWMPUNI001I000) section.
3.2.3 Signals
Signals allows sending and receiving commands between the PC and the AC
units. The current ambient temperature, error status and error code can be
monitored.
It is a tool for testing and to be used during the commissioning stage.
3.2.4 Security
Security allows to generate a PIN code to access to product configuration and encrypt the communication.
Note: If any home automation driver is being used, please be sure the driver allows encrypted communication before creating any security
