Connectivity Board flashes green when it is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
6| If desired, you can access the DucoBox’s local web page by surfing to the
DucoBox’s IP address (e.g. https://192.168.68.120).
The IP address can be found via the DucoBox display, the Duco Installation App
or the Duco Network Tool. An alternative method to find out the IP address is
to use MDNS discovery apps such as ‘Discovery App’ for iOS or ‘MDNS Discovery’
