1 Important before installation
1.1 Application

monitor and control their heating system from any computer that is connected to the Internet. For example, the customer can to control
the indoor temperature remotely. It also provides the opportunity for a better and safer support for you as an installer by allowing you to

cations.
1.2 Checklist before ordering Online
1.2.1 System requirements
Danfoss Online is an HTML5-based web production.
This of course means some system limitations and we have chosen to support the four most popular browsers.
These are (in no particular order):
▪
Internet Explorer (latest version)
▪
Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
▪
Google Chrome (latest version)
▪
Apple Safari (latest version)
Other system requirements are that Javascript must be enabled and your browser must accept cookies.
The login process is cookie based. These cookies live a short time before they expire. If the system clock on
the login computer, phone, or pad differs more than 5 minutes, the cookie will be too old and login will fail.
1.2.2 Internet in business domains
For the Danfoss Online accessory to work, it takes either a direct Internet connection or a NAT-router/firewall. DHCP must be enabled on
the router. Is there a proxy server (often used by larger companies/organizations), there is currently no support for this.
1.2.3 Internet connection
Since Danfoss Online is based on communication over the Internet, of course this connection is essential. The connection may be divi-
ded into two main categories, one of which is called "Mobile" and the second is "Wired". With mobile means that you are connecting via
a 3G/4G Router containing a SIM card, and communicates over the mobile network. In this case, it is important to have a sufficiently
strong GPRS signal where the router's antenna is located. Check with the prospective mobile broadband supplier that there is sufficient
coverage in the area where Online is to be installed.
With fixed connection means is connected to the Internet via any form of cable or fiber. The link between the heat pump, the different
connection options and responsibilities in between are shown in the figure below.
