Feasibility
6.1
Connection via WiFi
The local WiFi signal must have sufficient strength to connect to the Wallbox. If the WiFi
signal is lower than -60 dBm, connection via WiFi is not recommended. The WiFi signal
strength can be measured on a smartphone using various apps (iOS: Airport
analyzer) or using a laptop with a corresponding program (e.g.: WirelessNetView). If this is
not the case, the WiFi signal can be boosted using a WiFi repeater.
For the connection via WiFi, the desired network is selected and the correct password is
entered using the app and registered in Siemens Device Management.

Connection via Ethernet
If the WiFi signal is insufficient, VersiCharge can be connected to the Internet via a LAN cable
as an alternative. In this case, in addition to the security policies of the network, it must be
considered whether the maximum length of 328 ft (100 meters) for an Ethernet connection
is exceeded on site.
You can find the details on the connection and the available ports in the operating
instructions (see SIOS (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/109782228)).
If it is not possible to connect via Ethernet or WiFi due to the conditions on site, parent
devices have the option of connecting via mobile wireless.
Note
Ensure that the Ethernet cable is already connected to the LAN and that an open internet
connection exists before you start the device.
