Connecting the cooking system to the Internet

2.1

Establishing the physical cooking system connection

First, a physical connection to the Internet must be established. There are sev-
eral ways to connect the RATIONAL cooking system to the Internet, depending
on the network environment.

2.1.1 LAN/Ethernet connection

Clarify with your IT and building services department whether a wired Internet
connection is possible via Ethernet. Each cooking system to be networked will
require a RJ45 cable and a cable box connected to the LAN. The box should ei-
ther be protected against splashing water (IP67 protection against dust and wa-
ter jets from all directions) or installed outside splash water zones. If a separate
LAN box is not available for each cooking system, the cables can also be con-
nected directly to a Layer 2 Ethernet hub or switch outside the splash zone.
After that, connect the cooking system using an Ethernet cable.

2.1.2 WLAN/WiFi connection

If an Ethernet connection is not possible, the cooking system can be connected
to a WLAN router/access point via a WiFi adapter. The access point should of-
fer at least 50Mb/s bandwidth on the WLAN side and sufficient wireless cover-
age at the installation location of the cooking systems to be networked. It is ad-
visable to position the WLAN router/access point directly in front of or above
the cooking system on the ceiling, never behind the cooking system.
