How to connect to CoreLink Case Controller in Store Network
Custom Store Network
When visiting a store site, the technician might notice the USB to Ethernet adaptors installed and connected
to RJ-45 ethernet cable at the CoreLink Case Controllers. The store likely has a custom CoreLink Case
Controller network with all cases connected directly to an ethernet switch or multiple ethernet switches.
To access these controllers, please consult the refrigeration service contractor, or Hussmann Representative.
Technicians will need to obtain details of the network setup. Some networks may only be accessed through
direct wire connection and others may have Wi-Fi available onsite. Username and password will be needed
to make connection to this network much like the access point instructions above.
Technicians will also need to know the IP addressed assigned to each case circuit. In this scenario each
CoreLink Case Controller will have a unique IP address assigned. Technicians will only be able to gain
access to the internal Web UI with the correct provided IP address.
Once connected to the network the technician will be able to access any of the controllers connected to
the network.
