1Introduction
This manual describes how to install and configure the wireless gateway that can be con-
nected to VISY-Command Web. The external wireless gateway enables internet connectivity
to a VISY-Command WEB located at forecourts where internet connection via LAN network

The wireless gateway uses a SIM-card (should be purchased separately) to connect the VISY-
Command WEB to the internet.
This wireless gateway has already been checked for dual use and it complies with the dual
use purpose. The product can be ordered using the article number 900243.
