11.1.6 COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

11.1.6.1 WI-FI CONFIGURATION

Enable Wi-Fi: Allows you to enable or disable this communication interface. When disabled, the MQTT parameters will remain disabled. When
•
the LogBox Wi-Fi does not have an external power supply and is running on batteries, this interface will be automatically disabled.
Access Point SSID: Allows you to enter the name of the Wi-Fi network to which LogBox Wi-Fi will try to connect to. The field accepts up to 32
•
alphanumeric characters.
Access Point Password: Allows you to enter the Wi-Fi network password to which LogBox Wi-Fi will try to connect to. The field accepts up to
•
40 alphanumeric characters.
Obtaining Address: Allows you to determine how LogBox Wi-Fi will try to acquire an IP: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol),
•
protocol that allows the device's IP (Internet Protocol) to be assigned by the network server, or Static, which allows the user to set the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the connection. In this case, you can also set the DNS (Domain Name System).
IP Address: Refers a device identification (computer, printer, etc.) on a local or public network. Each computer or device on the Internet or on
•
an internal network has a unique IP. This is a required field when "Address Acquisition" is marked as "Static".
Subnet Mask: Also known as subnet mask or netmask, it allows you to divide a specific network into smaller subnets, making it more effective
•
to use a particular IP address space. This is a required field when "Address Acquisition" is marked as "Static".
Default Gateway: Refers to the device address on the network that connects your computers to the internet. This is a required field when
•
"Address Acquisition" is marked as "Static".
DNS Server: Refers to a hierarchical and distributed name management system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the
•
Internet or a private network. This is an optional field when "Address Acquisition" is marked as "Static".

11.1.6.2 MQTT PROTOCOL

Enable MQTT: Enables or disables data submission by MQTT protocol. When the LogBox Wi-Fi does not have an active external power
•
supply and is running on batteries, the Wi-Fi interface will remain disabled and, therefore, sending data through this protocol as well.
Broker User: Allows you to enter the registered user's login on the Broker. The field accepts up to 40 characters. If the field is empty, the
•
connection will be made in anonymous mode.
Broker Password: Allows you to enter the registered user's password on the Broker. The field accepts up to 40 characters. If the field is
•
empty, the connection will be made in anonymous mode.
