IP network

System requirements
■ Wireless router with activated WiFi. The wireless
router must be protected by a sufficiently secure
WPA2 password. We advise against unencrypted
connection of the Vitoconnect 100 to a wireless
router.
■ Internet connection with "flat rate" (tariff independ-
ent of time and data volume) and high availability,
i.e. the Vitoconnect 100 is permanently linked to the
Viessmann server.
Have dynamic IP addressing (DHCP, factory setting)
■
on the network (WiFi) checked on site, and if
required set up, by an IT expert prior to commis-
sioning.
■ Determine the routing and security parameters in the
IP network (LAN) as follows: Enable port 80,
port 123, port 443 and port 8883 for direct outward
connections. Have this checked and, if necessary,
set up on site by an IT expert before commissioning.
Note
During operation, the Vitoconnect 100 establishes a
secure internet connection to the Viessmann server.
Connecting the Vitoconnect 100 to any other type of
server is not possible.
