RJ-45 female modular connector is provided on the moisture.IQ rear panel for connection to the LAN .
WARNING! he Ethernet capability provided in the moisture.IQ is designed for use on a limited-access
Local Area Network (LAN) protected by a suitable firewall. It should not be operated if exposed to the
Internet or other unmanaged Wide Area Network (WAN). Check with your network administrator to
determine whether it is safe to connect the moisture.IQ to your network infrastructure.

assigned. It is highly recommended that the default passwords be changed before placing the
moisture.IQ into service.
