Making the connection to the energy man-
ager
If the energy manager was integrated in your exist-
ing home network (WiFi, Powerline Communication,
Ethernet) during setup, it is possible to access the
web application using the assigned IP address.
If there is no integration in a home network, the en-
ergy manager hotspot can be used as an alternative.
The WPS function that pairs the energy manager
with an existing home network, e.g. network router,
without inputting a password can also be used.
In addition, a direct connection to the router via an
Ethernet cable is possible as is a PLC pairing with a
PLC modem.
For information on establishing network connections,
g Refer to chapter "5. Selecting a network connec-
tion" on page 15..
Information
When the end device is in a home network, it can no
longer access the web application via the IP address
of the hotspot (192.168.9.11) or the DNS address
(https://porsche.hem), but instead only via the au-
tomatically generated IP address or using the host
name.

Opening the web application via the hotspot

(hotspot), which is protected by a password and re-
quires a manual login. A WiFi-enabled end device
can connect with the hotspot and access the energy
manager's web application. Integration in the home
network can take place at any time in the web appli-
cation.
