Overview

The Dynamic Control Touchscreen (DCT) features a local Wifi connection that can be connected to with a phone to view current runtime information. This allows viewing sensor data from around the site.

How to Connect

  1. On your phone, check under WiFi connections for an access point named “EMIT_XXXX”, where XXXX is the serial number of the touchscreen.
  2. Select the connection, and for the password enter “emitemit” (all lowercase). It is recommended to turn auto reconnect off.
  3. On your phone browser, enter “192.168.1.1” into the navigation bar. It should pull up the page shown below, where “Dashboard” can be selected to see current unit data. If it does not connect, try entering “http://192.168.1.1” into the navigation bar of the browser.
