  • The Basic control unit connects through its own Wi-Fi, by accessing the page http://128.50.1.1 (for more information, see Connecting to the control unit).
  • The PRO control unit has an RJ45 network port, for connection via Ethernet cable.
  • The LTE control unit requires no configuration: it connects to the cloud automatically thanks to its built-in SIM connectivity, available worldwide.
