Waveshare RS485 TOWIFI/ETHMQTT Communication User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the RS485 TO WIFI/ETH user manual. This document outlines the process of setting up the RS485 to WIFI/ETH converter, focusing on MQTT communication, network connectivity, and web-based configuration using EMQX MQTT. I'm ready to assist with any questions you might have about the device and the instructions provided in this manual.
  • What is the default username and password for the configuration page?
    What is the default network name(SSID)?
    What is the default IP address to access the management page?
