3.2.1 Determine the IP address

Access to the user interface of the NWPM extension takes place via the dynamically assigned IP address of the router. This IP address can be found in the router's user interface using the respective MAC address of the NWPM extension can be read out. To do this, the administration of the router must be accessed.

If access to the administration of the router is not possible, it is possible to read out the dynamic IP address with an IP scanner. The following section explains how to determine the IP address using the IP scanner "Netscan" described.

From the heat pump manager software version L12 and firmware version A1.5.0 of the NWPM extension (delivery status from May 2013), the IP address assigned by the router can be read in the menu. This menu is accessed by pressing the key combination at the same time (approx. 5 seconds) «ESC» and «Enter». By pressing the «buttonmenu»You get back to the standard display.

  • Use the arrow keys to select "OTHER INFORMATION" and use «Enter» confirm

  • Select "PCOWEB / NET CONFIG" with the arrow keys and press «Enter» confirm

  • Select "PCOWEB settings" with the arrow keys and press «Enter» confirm

  • If the NWPM extension is connected to a router where the DHCP function is active, the assigned IP address is displayed

  • If the NWPM extension is not connected to a router, a fixed IP address can be assigned

  • The selection of DHCP must be set from ON to OFF and the desired IP address set

  • The netmask and gateway

  • or DNS1 and DNS2 can be read or assigned

  • If changes have been made, they must finally be confirmed with YES and a restart carried out

3.2.2 Hostname

After successfully assigning a dynamic IP address to the router and supporting this function, there is the option of access via a host name. This is made up of the term "pcowebXXXXXX" and the last 6 digits of the MAC address.

Example: http: // pcoweb10601f /

3.2.3 Netscan

First of all, the current version "Netscan" for the existing operating system must be searched for on the Internet and saved on the hard drive. If necessary, the folder content is then extracted and the "netscan.exe" file is executed.

  • IP address range selection of the network via the "IP" icon

  • Mark the address range of the network

  • Scanning the IP addresses "Start Scanning" and reading out the IP address based on the MAC address

 

 

3.3 Access over the Internet

In order to have access to the heat pump from outside the network, appropriate settings are required in the router or in the network. This means that a “bottleneck” has to be opened in the network in order to allow access via the Internet.

Possibilities for this would be:

Access via SRH App and an iOS device

  • VPN:

For example, the FritzBox offers a so-called MyFritz service to create a VPN tunnel.

3.4 Access with the SRH app

Another option for access via the Internet is the one that has been available since the beginning of 2016 SRH App. Neither a DynDNS service nor a fixed IP address or VPN access is required for this. All you have to do is install what is described below Plug-in as well as the SRH App absolutely necessary (System requirements are to be observed).
