1. Setting up the network
The Vertex controller can work as a stand-alone system, but connecting it to a LAN network (using NetConfig) is recommended, as it makes the commissioning and monitoring easier.
Connect to the Vertex with a PC (using Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable). Then, use NetConfig to set up the network.
Connecting to the Vertex using Wi-Fi
Make sure that you are in range of Vertex Wi-Fi. You can identify your Vertex Wi-Fi can be identified using the MAC address.
Network name: VERTEX_XXXXXXXXYYYY, where XXXXXXXXYYYY is the Vertex’s MAC address
Password: XXXXXXX, first 8 characters of the MAC address
Find the Wi-Fi and select Connect.
Select Connect using a security key instead.
Enter the 8 first digits of the MAC address.
When connected to Vertex, in the web browser, enter http://172.24.1.1/netconfig and go to the Netconfig configuration step-by-step.
Connecting to the Vertex using Ethernet connection
Connect to the Vertex using an Ethernet cable.
When connected to Vertex, in the web browser, enter http://10.0.6.50/netconfig and go to the Netconfig configuration step-by-step.
Netconfig configuration step-by-step
Make sure that the number of Vertex controllers found in the NetConfig is the same as you have in your design!
Select the type of connection you are using to communicate with the Vertex and initiate searching.
Make sure that you see all Vertexes and go to grouping.
Edit groups if needed, by default all devices are in group 1. When satisfied, go to addressing.
Verify your addressing data and move to Cluster.
Select new Cluster UID or choose a previously created Cluster UID and send.
At the end of the NetConfig process, all controllers are rebooted.
