1. General description.
The Wi-Fi interface is designed for wireless connection between power supply units of the PSBEN
or
EN54
series with a PC in the Wi-Fi network. The PowerSecurity software enables remote monitoring of parameters
through a cyclical preview of the current status of the power supply, reading the event log and diagrams of currents
and voltages and performing remote battery test.
The transmission range of Wi-Fi network is approximately 30m inside buildings largely depends on
its structure.
Before using a Wi-Fi communication system, make sure that the technical aspects of the site ensure
sufficient stability of the connection.

3. Installation.
The “one-to-one” communication involves a single Wi-Fi interface connected to a single PSU. A selected
location for mounting the interface is provided inside the enclosure of the power supply unit. Therefore, the power
supply units fitted with Wi-Fi interfaces can be freely arranged within the network without additional communication
cables. The role of the access point controlling the data flow is done by a Wi-Fi router connected to a PC via an
Ethernet network cable or wirelessly.
This type of communication is suitable for places where leading additional wires between the power
supply units is not possible
Fig.2. Schematic diagram of WI-FI network communication.
Installation of the interface:
1. Make a hole for antenna in the side of the PSU’s enclosure.
2. Mount the Wi-Fi interface.
3. Connect the „SERIAL” sockets on the interface module and on the PCB of the power supply using the included
cable.
4. Connect the Wi-Fi router with the computer using the RJ45 – RJ45 cable.

4.2 Introductory information.
The Wi-Fi interface parameters can be configured to adapt to the actual operation. The configuration is
done via a web browser after proper logging with username and password.
The "Digi Device Discovery" program, which allows previewing the most important parameters of the
interface at the initial stage of configuration, is also worth noting. The application indicates the modules connected
to the router and provides information about the assigned IP address and a unique MAC address.
The „Digi Device Discovery” program can be downloaded at:
http://www.pulsar.pl/pliki/digi_discovery.exe
A newly purchased Wi-Fi interface is supplied in basic configuration (factory settings) which is not adapted for
correct operation of the system.
Since the communication with the interface is via radio, there is a need for proper configuration of the router in
order to establish a connection with the interface. The most convenient solution is to own a separate router or to
restore the factory settings of already owned router (if possible). If more Wi-Fi networks are available, it is
suggested to reduce the power emitted by the RS485-WiFi interface in order to avoid communication interference.
To do that, unscrew the antenna of the interface and place it near the router.
The connection between the computer and the Wi-Fi router using a RJ45 cable is recommended.
If the connection is lost for unknown reasons at any stage of the configuration process, it is recommended
to restore the factory settings of the router and the interface starting from the step 1. The information included in
the following subsections show „step by step” how to configure the router and the Wi-Fi interface assuming that
both devices are set to factory settings (settings after a reset).
The configuration of the Wi-Fi interface in this manual is based on a wireless “LinkSys WRT54GL” Wi-Fi
router.
4.3 STEP 1 – Restoring the factory settings.
Router:
To restore the factory settings of the router, check the manual of the device and perform appropriate
actions according to the manufacturer's instructions. In most cases it is enough to find the reset button on the rear
side of the enclosure and hold it for approximately 5 seconds. After releasing the reset button, wait about 1 minute
for the correct initialization of the router. Initialization restores the factory settings of the router. In case of „LinkSys”
router, they are as follows:
Address: 192.168.1.1
User name: admin
User password: admin
Wi-Fi: interface
In order to restore the factory settings of the interface, press and hold the INIT button, then press and
release the RESET button one time. Still holding the INIT button, wait approximately 20 seconds for the optical
indication of the interface: yellow led blinking three times [8 – Fig.1] and then 5 more times. Proper initialization
resets the interface settings, among others, to:
Address: assigned automatically by the router
User name: root
User password: dbps
After restoring the factory settings of the router and the interface, the yellow LED of the interface
[8 - fig.1] should be permanently illuminated, indicating proper logging into an available WiFi network. If the LED is
blinking, disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply of the module might be necessary. If that does not help,
restore the factory settings of the router and the interface once again

4.4 STEP 2 – The IP address configuration.
For proper IP address change, it is recommended to turn off the firewall of the antivirus
program for the time of configuration process.
If the yellow LED [8 - fig.1] is permanently illuminated, make sure whether the interface has logged to the
proper router. To do that, run the „Digi Device Discovery” program with the icon. After launching, the
program will display the logged-in Wi-Fi interface. Identification of our module can be done by comparing the MAC
addresses
Fig. 3. Window of the ‘Digi Device Discovery’ program
showing a logged-in Wi-Fi interface.
The MAC address of the interface is located under the barcode of the DIGI module.
Fig. 4. The MAC address located on the DIGI module.
In order to facilitate the further use of the devices in the network, change the IP address assignment
from automatic to manual. To do that, press the right mouse button on the line with the selected interface and
choose „Configure network settings” option.

Fig. 5. The window of network settings.
In the settings window, select the „Manually configure network settings” option and change the IP address
of the interface in the unblocked area to 192.168.1.101. The subnet mask and the default gateway IP address
should be left unchanged.
Before setting the network address, make sure it is not used by any device on the network.
Confirm the changes by pressing the „Save” button. The ” Digi Device Discovery” application
will display the message about the need to restart the interface, which should be confirmed by pressing "OK”. A
reset progress window will be displayed.
From now on, the router will "see" our interface at the new address.

4.5 STEP 3 – Setting the SSID for Wi-Fi network.
Enter the network identifier, so that the RS485-WiFi interface will connect only with the designated router.
To do that, log in to the router's configuration interface: open a web browser window and type the 192.168.1.1 in
the address bar (default router address after the reset if not changed previously) and confirm by pressing the
„ENTER” button. The page will be reloaded and the following window will be displayed:
Fig. 6. The Wi-Fi router login window.
To access the router configuration, log in with:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Confirm by pressing the „Login” button. The adjustment window will be displayed
Select the „Wireless” tab. Next, enter the SSID, which is the name of the network within which the Wi-Fi
interfaces will be transmitting data to the computer. In the „Wireless Network Name” field, type any name e.g.
„PowerSecurity”. All other settings should be left unchanged.
Fig. 7. The window of changing the network identifier.
Confirm the changes by pressing the „Save Settings” button and then confirm by pressing „Continue”.
This will reset the router. Meanwhile, temporary network loss can be observed, which will be indicated by blinking
of the yellow LED. After the reset of the router, the network connection will be restored and the interface will no
longer indicate problems, which will be indicated by permanent illumination of the yellow LED.
Now, make the appropriate adjustments in the Wi-Fi interface configuration.
Return to the „Digi Device Discovery” and double-click the line of the chosen interface. The window of the default
web browser will be displayed. Log in correctly to configure the Wi-Fi interface.

Type the SSID network identifier that has been used during router configuration. Type: „PowerSecurity” in
the „Network name” field. Configure the other settings as shown in the picture above and confirm by pressing the
„Apply” button”.
The „Apply” button cannot be omitted!
Choose the „WiFi Security Settings” tab at the bottom of the same window. Settings from this tab are
responsible for the protection against unauthorized connections.
In the „Network Authentication” and „Data Encryption” tabs, choose this method of authentication and data
encryption that is supported by the router. Mark the „WPA-PSK” and „TKIP” data encryption as they are supported
by our router. The „Open system” option can be selected in both cases.
