How to connect to the plasma power supply with the XPR web interface

If you use a wireless (Wi-Fi™) network to communicate with your cutting system, Hypertherm
recommends the use of a secure Wi-Fi network to minimize the risk of unauthorized cutting
system operation or misuse.
Minimum security features can include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Password protection
• WPA2 security for the plasma power supply
• A hidden SSID for the Wi-Fi network
• Operator training about network security
Unauthorized access or misuse of the Wi-Fi network can result in incorrect settings or
commands. Bad settings and commands can cause an uncontrollable or unusable system. A
negative effect on system performance, shortened consumable life, and torch damage is also
possible.

You must use discrete with the XPR web interface to operate the cutting
system.

If you go out of range with the device, you cannot communicate with the
cutting system. The cutting system continues to operate. For more
information on distances for wireless, see Distance requirements for
communications on page 57.
You can use one of the following options to connect to the XPR web interface:
Access point (AP) mode (See Use AP mode to connect on page 154.)

You connect to the plasma power supply's network.

AP mode is the default connection option. You connect to a single plasma power supply.

Network mode (See Use network mode to connect on page 156.)

You connect the plasma power supply to your network.

The advantage of network mode is that you can connect to one network and access

multiple plasma power supplies.
