KE2 Local Area Manual

KE2 Therm’s Local Area Dashboard & Alarms
(LDA) is the perfect addition to the Refrigeration
Network.
When the KE2 LDA is connected to the same network as
KE2 Therm controllers, it immediately and automatically scans and finds all KE2
Therm controllers –Ethernet or Serial-ModBus.
Serve as a Permanent WiFi Service Tool
Display a Local Area Dashboard showing controllers connected to the
customer’s network
Connect controllers to KE2 SmartAccess customer portal without requir-
ing controller upgrades
Send E-mail Alarms to multiple e-mail recipients
View Serial devices in a webpage, make changes to setpoints, and re-
ceive alerts via e-mail or text message
366-day data logging when used with the KE2 Flash Drive (see bulletin
Q.5.48)
Wirelessly tether to the local network (Wirelessly connect a controller to
existing WiFi.)
Guest Mode: Connect wirelessly to the KE2 LDA with no password, ac-
cess up to 99 devices.
The KE2 LDA allows customers to locally view all of their controllers in a single
view, without a recurring fee. And, additionally, enables customers to access their
controllers over the Internet, by functioning as a conduit to KE2 SmartAccess
(available for a nominal monthly charge.)

and WAN links.
LAN - https://ke2lda.ke2.co
WAN - https://ke2lda-406608*
(*This is an example only. The
WAN link uses the 6 digits of the
KE2 LDA’s MAC Address. It will vary
for each KE2 LDA).
KE2 LDA’s firmware version in-
formation, is also available at the
bottom of the page.
Update Available will be dis-
played if there is newer firmware
available.
For controllers on the network,
simply click on the IP address
of the controller, to immediate-
ly connect to that controller’s
Home Page.
Access the Local Dashboard:
To access the Local Dashboard, connect
to the KE2 LDA wireless SSID or cabled
to the LAN. Since it is an Ethernet de-
vice, speaking TCP/IP, users can con-
nect to it by simply launching their pre-
ferred web browser, and typing in the
address bar: https://ke2lda - OR - IP
address 192.168.50.1
For multiple KE2 LDA’s on the same net-
work ke2lda-MAC address will register
with DNS.
Example, https://ke2lda-406608 can
be entered in web browser when con-
nected wirelessly or LAN to LDA or
on company network if WAN access is
enabled.
This brings the user to their local
dashboard.
Once connected to the dash-
board, the user will immedi-
ately see up to 10 displayed
controllers.

Remote Access Setup
KE2 LDA provides the user with simple remote
access to KE2 Therm’s Smart Access portal, which
provides quick and easy, real time access to your
refrigeration systems 24/7. No port forwarding.
No vpn. All the KE2 LDA needs is a physical con-
nection to the network router with a cat 5 cable.
KE2 Smart Access automatically connects to your
personal web portal, providing a dashboard of
the controllers you publish with the KE2 LDA.
Portal: The portal is the in-
ternet address used to access
the controllers remotely. This
should NEVER be changed with-
out directions from KE2 Therm.
Changing it may result in loss of
remote access.
Check the box to enable Access.
Site: The default Site for all LDA
devices KE2LDA-and the last
6 digits of MAC Address. KE2
Therm recommends changing
this to something easily re-
membered by the person who
will be accessing the controllers
remotely.
