Use AP mode to connect (wireless)

In Access Point (AP) mode, each plasma power supply has its own connection. You can only connect to and control one plasma power supply at a time.

You must have a computer-based device with a screen, a web browser that has support for the latest web standards, and wireless access.

  1. Supply power to the cutting system:
    1. Set the line-disconnect switch to the ON position.
    2. Make sure that the power-indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the plasma power supply is illuminated.
    3. Make sure that the remote on-off switch for the plasma power supply is set to ON.
    4. If the redundant remote on-off switch is installed, make sure that it is set to ON.
  2. On your device, go to the wireless connections menu.

    This menu can be different on different devices.

  3. Choose the XPR® connection.

    The default connection name is "xpr" + the System ID. The System ID is the last four digits of the Media Access Control (MAC) address. For more information about the System ID and MAC address, refer to Web interface screen information.

    If you want to change the connection name or password, refer to Change the limited AP settings Other screen.

  4. Enter the password.

    The default password is hypertherm. If you want to change the connection name, refer to Change the limited AP settings Other screen.

  5. Open a web browser.
  6. Go to 192.168.1.1/index.html.
  7. To fully operate the cutting system, you must also use discrete.

    Refer to Connect to the plasma power supply with discrete.

  • The plasma power supply is now connected.
  • The main screen of the XPR web interface shows information about the connected plasma power supply in the top-left corner.
  • If the Client ID and the Operator ID are the same on your device, you are in control of the plasma power supply and can set a process.
  • Refer to Web interface screen information for more information about the interface menus.
