After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Set up your IT network as needed for XOVIS installation
Depending on the Xovis device, connectivity can only happen through LAN/ethernet or also over WiFi.
Xovis WiFi devices are an alternative for customers that
want to have WiFi as a fall-back option to existing LAN connectivity
want to have all the IoT devices running on a specific WiFi network
cannot foresee connectivity through LAN in some places.
Xovis WiFi devices still need Power over Ethernet (POE) for power. This can happen through a POE injector.
XOVIS WiFi devices' initial configuration (of the WiFi credentials) needs to happen while running a LAN/ethernet connection, and while being able to connect to the target WiFi network.
This means that, for the time required for the configuration, a LAN network needs to be available in a location where the target WiFi network is also reachable.
Hardware Requirements
XOVIS sensor devices are a wired solution. So make sure that you are allowed/able to foresee cabling and drill holes in the ceiling where needed.
Network Requirements
On the network, the devices must have HTTPS & MQTT/TLS access via different ports. Please find below the current “List of IP addresses for outgoing traffic” to know which ports to open.
A Dynamic IP is required.
XOVIS WiFi devices can connect to IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compatible wireless LAN Access Points with either 2.4 or 5 GHz. The authentication methode WPA2 pre-shared key (PSK) is supported. Connections to open networks are allowed but it is the responsibility of the network operator to ensure the security.
