Connecting with E-Control

Figure 4.1
Väderstad has an application, E-Control, which is a
program that can be used to control your Väderstad
machine from an iPad. The application is installed on the
iPad delivered with the machine (does not apply for all
countries) and comes with the necessary settings for
network connection pre-installed at the factory.
1. Connect Gateway to the ISOBUS connector or other
power supply on the tractor.
• Gateway must ALWAYS be powered-up when
the machine is in operation.
2. Start the iPad in the tractor cab or in the vicinity of
Gateway. Connection to the Gateway network will
occur automatically.
3. Open the E-Control application by pressing the
symbol.
• It can take up to two minutes for the application
to open.
4. The machine's home screen is displayed when
downloading is complete.
Always check before starting work that the iPad
is connected to the correct network. Once the
local network from Gateway is enabled for the
first time, the iPad will automatically find the
network the next time you are within range.
However, if you are already connected to
another network, the network must be selected
manually.
4.1.1

If the network is not found automatically

If connection to the network does not take place
automatically, the network connection must be enabled.
This might happen if, for example, you have already
connected to another network or you are using an iPad
that has not been connected to the network from
Gateway before (network unknown).
