Ethernet Connection

  1. From the Home screen of the controller, click the Config tab.

  2. In the configuration menu, select the Ethernet Settings.

  3. In the Ethernet Settings, set the following parameters to these values:

    Gateway Connection: Ethernet

    Controller IP: 192.168.50.5

    Gateway IP: 192.168.50.1

    DNS Server: 8.8.8.8

    Netmask: 255.255.255.0

    DHCP: Disabled

    Webserver: HTTP

  4. Once these parameters have been changed, reboot the modem.

If the Ethernet settings are set correctly and you still cannot access the controller through the modem, a firmware upgrade may be required to resync the controllers internal Ethernet card.

Wi-Fi Connection

Note: Wi-Fi is only available on the W900 and Intuition-9 models of Walchem Controllers. The Wi-Fi add-on card is also required for functionality and is sold separately from the controller.

  1. From the Home screen of the controller, click the Config tab.

  2. In the configuration menu, select the Wireless Settings.

  3. In the Wi-Fi Settings, set the following parameters to these values:

    WiFi Mode: Infrastructure

    SSID: RUT241_6A5F

    Key: h3MFp6k0

    Gateway Connection: Wi-Fi

    Infrastructure IP: 192.168.50.5

    Gateway IP: 192.168.50.1

    DNS Server: 8.8.8.8

    Netmask:255.255.255.0

    DHCP: Disabled

    Webserver: HTTP

  4. Once these parameters have been changed, reboot the controller. After rebooting, it can take up to 5 minutes for the controller to connect with the modem. The connection status on be monitored in the Wi-Fi Details menu of the Config Tab.

Wi-Fi on the Flight modem is disabled by default. Please call Customer Success and they will remotely enable it.
