Network settings

You can enter data about the network, NTP server, and Link software in the menu. These settings are also available in the web interface.

WiFi 

Some monitors may have slightly different specifications. For AT-07L, AT-10, AT-10L, AK-10LP, AQ-07LP models, the connection via Wi-Fi may be available. If this feature is available, you can enable and configure it in the network settings section.

To use the WiFi connection you must:

1. Enable the Wi-Fi and wait until the search for an available network is completed.

2. Select the desired network from the list and connect to it.

   Open

   

3. The connection status will be displayed next to the network name.

Ethernet 

In this section, you can enable/disable DHCP connection and get network settings automatically or enter it manually.  

For correct monitor work you must enter: 

• panel IP address;

• subnet mask;

• the main gateway;

• DNS server address;

Here you also can check the current IP and MAC address.

NTP 

NTP server data is used for time and date automatic synchronization between a panel and a server.

Turning on the server time, data will be automatically synchronized with a server via the Internet. Therefore, this option requires an Internet connection. In the section, you can also turn off the NTP server functioning.

Also, you can use custom NTP for automatic synchronization with the necessary server via a local network. To do this, you must: 

1. Turn on the NTP server functioning.

2. Enable the use of a custom NTP server.

3. Enter the server URL or IP address.

4. Save data.

Link 

In this section, you can enable/disable and configure the BAS-IP Link server for access control, management, and monitoring of devices.

To do it, you must:

1. Enable the Link server.

2. Select the necessary protocol: HTTP or MQTT (is recommended to use).

3. Enter all required data. 

4. Save settings.

MQTT allows organizing the interaction of BAS-IP Link with devices, which are located in different networks/subnets/behind NAT without additional settings from the network infrastructure (port forwarding, etc.) as HTTP requires. We recommend using the MQTT protocol as it is less complex, more effective, provides data security, fast and efficient message delivery. 

MQTT protocol configuration

If you select MQTT, you must enter: 

• management system broker address and port for server field; 

• password for interaction with the management system;

Also, you can enable/disable a secured connection. Sending of heartbeat (current status: online/offline) is done by default here without the ability to enable/disable it.

HTTP protocol configuration 

If you select HTTP, you must enter:

• an IP address or domain name of the server where the Link software is installed;

• device password to the server.

If necessary, you can activate the heartbeat (current status: online/offline) from the panel to the server.
