COMMISSIONING VIA WI-FI

Once installed, follow the steps below to commission the Wi-Fi

Module.

NOTE: If you intend to connect the module to a hidden Wi-Fi Network

(SSID Broadcast is disabled), it must be done before making the

connection. Once the module is connected, the network conguration

must not be changed, or the module may lose connection or fail to

reconnect after power is cycled to the device or router. If you do

change the network conguration, the module should be disconnected

from the network and reconnected again.

NOTE: If a conguration/installer

password is activated to prevent

unauthorized access to conguration

menu parameters, a password entry

prompt is displayed.

VT8000 [ Wi-Fi Module Installation & Quick Start Guide ]

COMMISSIONING VIA USB

For sites where multiple RCs need to be commissioned, a sub-set

of commissioning is supported from the VT8000 Uploader Tool via

the USB port on the Room Controller. This provides a simple, fast,

repeatable method to connect the Wi-Fi Module to the building’s Wi-Fi

network and enable the most common features. Advanced features

can then be commissioned via the Conguration Web Pages across

the building Wi-Fi network, saving commissioning time as it is not

necessary to connect to the Access Point of each Wi-Fi Module. For

more information refer to the Uploader Tool Installation Guide.

Commissioning from the Uploader Tool supports:

• User authentication and rst admin password change

• Wi-Fi network connection (SSID)

• IP Conguration (DHCP or Static)

• Enable and congure BACnet/IP

• Enable NTP time source

Minimum system requirements:

• VT8000: 2.5.1

• VCM8002: 1.4

• Uploader tool: 3.3

To enable/disable Commissioning via USB, go to the Admin tab (refer

to “Conguration” on page 11), or go to USB access on the RC

Conguration screen.

NOTICE

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE/UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS

When the Wi-Fi Module is commissioned from the Uploader Tool, user and

network password hashes are sent from the Uploader Tool, via USB and the Room

Controller to the Module. If intercepted by a USB Eavesdropping Attack, these

hashes may be used to access the Module and Wi-Fi network. Care should be

taken to help ensure communications are not eavesdropped on.

Failure to follow these instructions may lead to unauthorized users

accessing the Wi-Fi Module or the Wi-Fi network.

NOTICE

UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS

When commissioning is complete, it is recommended to disable USB Access on

the Room Controller to minimize entry points to the system.

Failure to follow these instructions may lead to unauthorized users

accessing the Wi-Fi Module or the Room Controller via USB.
