Network Topology Requirements
Network topology requirements are as follows:
• DHCP-enabled network (for the UniFi LED Panel to obtain
an IP address)
• Network switch (for wired configuration), or access point (for
wireless configuration)
• For UniFi Dimmer Switch only:
A UniFi Dimmer Switch connected to the same Layer 2
network as the UniFi LED Panel
• For LED Controller software:
A UniFi Application Server running the UniFi LED Controller
software and connected to the same Layer 2 network as a
the UniFi LED Panel
• For UniFi LED app only:
A UniFi AP connected to the same Layer 2 network as the
UniFi LED Panel
Connection Options
A UniFi LED Panel can use either a wired connection or a
wireless connection. A wired connection to a switch allows
immediate detection and control by the LED Controller, but
if a panel is in a location where Ethernet cabling is not a
reasonable option, then the panel can connect via Wi-Fi to a
UniFi AP.
Control Options
You can control the UniFi LED Panel’s state (on/off) and
brightness. There are three ways to control the Panel:
UniFi Dimmer Switch A user in the immediate vicinity
controls the UniFi LED Panel using the UniFi Dimmer Switch.
UniFi LED App over Layer 2 Network A local user runs the
app to connect to a UniFi AP on the same Layer 2 network as
the UniFi LED Panel.
UniFi LED Controller over Layer 2 Network Alocal user runs
the LED Controller software on the same Layer 2 network as
the UniFi LED Panel.
