Unitronics Routers provide a secure interface between UniCloud and Vision Enhanced,and Samba controllers.
After you set the router up for UniCloud, in addition to using it as a regular router, you can:
Add PLCs for use in UniCloud.
Create Asset Types for Vision Enhanced, and Samba controllers.
After you create an Asset in UniCloud by linking a PLC with the Asset Type, and validate the Asset, you can download a security certificate and then upload it to the router. Once certified, you can create Dashboards based on the Asset Type, and begin harvesting PLC data.
To set up the router:
1. Open your browser and access it using the default
credentials:
IP 192.168.1.1.
Username: Admin
Password: Admin
2. The router will request that you set a new administrator password; you must do so to continue.
1. Follow the router’s startup guide; and configure relevant setting for Time Zone, Mobile, LAN, and Wireless; enable Wi-Fi if the router is to connect to your office Wi-Fi network (Note that Unitronics PLCs cannot connect over Wi-Fi. Only the router can connect to the office Wi-Fi network]
2. Follow the router’s startup guide: configure
any relevant settings for Time Zone, Mobile, LAN, and Wireless for WiFi.
3. Navigate to Network > WAN. The WAN setting
is how the router will access the Internet.
There are three options including wired, mobile and Wi-Fi.
4. This example uses the Wi-Fi of an office network
to connect to the Internet.
Select Wi-Fi and Save.
5. Select Scan; join the relevant network.
6. Enter and save the Wi-Fi Password.
The next image shows that the router now has access to the Internet using
the office network.
7. Any Unitronics devices connecting to the router, such as Vision or Samba controllers, can connect to the LAN ports of the router and will have compatible IP addresses with the router’s LAN network.
