Wiser Home Controller Installation Instructions
9
2.0 Network Topology
You should carefully consider the existing network layout at the customer
site before installing the Wiser Home Controller. Try to minimise the
amount of reconfiguration required. There are a couple of important points
to remember during the Wiser Home Controller installation.
• The Wiser Home Controller is not a modem. You must connect the
router to an Internet connection, NOT a telephone line. A
broadband modem is not provided as part of Wiser Home
Controller.
• The Wiser Home Controller has wired and wireless LAN capabilities.
The CNI uses one wired router LAN port. The three remaining wired
ports are for IP connections to the local LAN.
2.1 Mapping Your Existing Network
There are many variations found in home networks. By mapping the
existing network, you make it much easier to see what cabling and
configuration tasks must be performed when installing the Wiser Home
Controller.
Example:
The figure below shows a basic network configuration that is common in
many homes. The network might use automatic IP addressing (DHCP), static
IP addressing or a mix of the two.
Figure 2. A basic home network example BEFORE installing a Wiser Home Controller
In the example above, the customer can easily access the static IP address
of the modem/router to set wireless security parameters.
