Prerequisites
Below you'll find all the things you'll need to complete the tutorial.
Runtime
Runtime is a environment, where device integration is run. In Enapter EMS it's either a hardware Universal Communication Module (UCM) or a virtual UCM, which is run on Enapter Gateway.
Power supply
Our hardware UCMs require an external power supply ranged from 9V DC to 24V or 60V DC, depending on the UCM model.
Endpoint Device
Ensure the UCM and endpoint device speak the same language or, technically speaking, implement the same industrial communication standard. How to check it?
Browse a library of open-source, ready-to-use integrations.
Network
Wi-Fi network on 2.4GHz. Note that only WEP, WPA, WPA2 Personal (pre-shared key) supported.
Wi-Fi
The physical Wi-Fi Network Requirements:
- IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4 GHz only)
- IEEE 802.12 WEP, WPA, WPA2 Personal (Pre-shared key)
Captive portals are not supported.
Ensure that the Wi-Fi Client Isolation feature is turned off if you use Enapter Gateway and it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network as a UCM. Please refer to the manual of your Wi-Fi access point.
TCP/IP
If you have firewall or security devices in your Wi-Fi network, you need to keep the following ports open.
| Port | Protocol | Destination Host (IP-Address / Range or Name) |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | TCP | 95.168.174.108, 95.168.174.212, 95.168.174.213 (api.enapter.com) |
| 443 | TCP | 95.168.174.108, 95.168.174.212, 95.168.174.213 (api.enapter.com) |
| 123 | UDP | 95.168.174.108, 95.168.174.212, 95.168.174.213 (ntp.enapter.com) |
| 8883 | TCP | 95.168.174.108, 95.168.174.212, 95.168.174.213 (mqtt.enapter.com) |
| 1883 | TCP | 95.168.174.108, 95.168.174.212, 95.168.174.213 (mqtt.enapter.com) |
Enapter Cloud account
In case of online connection go to Enapter Cloud to create an account.
Enapter Mobile Application
Available on Google Play and Apple AppStore.
Enapter Gateway
Setup your Enapter Gateway if you want:
- reliable monitoring;
- energy system automatic control;
- run your integration on a virtual UCM.
Enapter CLI
Enapter CLI is an open source tool and freely available on Github: https://github.com/enapter/enapter-cli. You could build it yourself or download a pre-built binary for your operating system.
