For Your HeatMasterSS Furnace
This instruction applies to G-Series furnaces that were manufactured as a part
of the 2020 model lineup using the Siemens Logo Control.
These instructions will guide you in setting up a wireless connection to your G-Series furnace. A hardwired connection to
your furnace is the preferred and recommended method, but a wireless connection is a good option when hardwiring is not
possible. See your furnace’s owner’s manual for more information on the hardwired method. Either method will allow you to
access the furnace controls on your home network.
This wireless method requires the installation of a wireless access device. This is available as part of the HeatmasterSS Wireless
Access Kit. Please contact your dealer for more information.
Program your wireless access point.
See page 3for these instructions.
Aer you have setup the wireless connection you will need to find an IP address on your home
network that is available to assign to your furnace.
See page 8for these instructions.
Mount the wireless access radio.
See page 10 for these instructions.
Assign your furnace an IP address.
See page 11 for these instructions.
Once you have followed these steps you should be able to access your furnace on your home network
via an internet browser.
See page 13 for these instructions.

WIRELESS CONNECTION KIT
This kit contains the components needed to establish a wireless connection from your outdoor furnace to a nearby wireless
network. The following instructions illustrate how to set up this equipment to allow you to monitor your furnace from your home
network.
Connecting the access point to your wireless network.
The first step in connecting your new wireless access point is
to connect it to your home network. Layout the hardware and
cables as shown in Figure 1.
Once you have connected the wireless access point as shown
in Figure 1, connect the LAN cable to your computer to
configure the wireless access point.

FINDING AN IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR FURNACE
These instructions will guide you in finding an available address on your home network to assign to your HeatMaster furnace.
Using a windows PC that is running on your home network,
we’ll use the command prompt app. Using the search bar in
the lower le corner of your Windows home screen, enter
the letters “cmd”, and then hit enter as shown in Figure 1, the
command prompt app loads.

GSERIES
Enter the command “ipconfig”. You’ll see a screen with similar
data as shown in figure 3.
Paying attention to the addresses that we’ve highlighted
within the square (in figure 3), you’ll need to take note of
three addresses.
The line “IPv4 Address” is the IP address of the computer
that you are currently working on. the IP address that you’ll
be assigning to your furnace will be in the same range as this
number.
The line “Subnet Mask” is the same Subnet address that you’ll
be assigning to your furnace.
The line “Default Gateway” is an address that you need to
confirm or assign to your furnace.
Note these three addresses, as you’ll need them later.
Figure 2
Next you will see a window similar to the one in figure 2.
Figure 3
In this same window we will ping a few addresses and find one
available to use for your furnace.
Start by pinging your computers IP address that you found in the
previous window (in our case this is 192.168.1.101).
Enter the ping command as shown in the first box in figure 4, using
your computers IP address (ping ***.***.**.***.). The following
lines (as shown in the second box in figure 4) show that the
computer is getting a reply from that address, indicating that this IP
address is already in use and can’t be used for your furnace.
Figure 4

10 Heatmasterss G Series Furnace Operating Manual
Ping an address with a higher number than 192.168.1.101 as your
router is less likely to assign an address within this range. We
suggest a number between 200-250. Only change the last three
numbers in the address as shown on Figure 5.

(Antenna/Mount)
(b)
(a)
(c)
Secure the antenna mount (a) to the back corner of the furnace
by driling 3/16” holes through the back corner post of the
furnace, using the antenna mount holes as a template for the
hole locations.
Rivet the mount to the corner post, using the supplied rivets.
Mount the wireless access point (b) to the top of the anntena
post using the supplied pipe clamp. Turn the wireless access
point so that it’s facing the direction of your home wireless
signal.
Drill a 5/8” hole through the back of the furance at (c) to route
the cable that will be coming from the wireless access point to
the network jack that’s inside the back cabinet of your furnace.
Zip tie the cable to the anntena post.
MOUNTING THE WIRELESS ACCESS RADIO
You may need to try a few different numbers before you will
find an available address. Once you find an IP address that is
available you will see a message saying “Request timed out”,
as shown in Figure 6.
Write down this IP address (in our case 192.168.1.250).
This will be the address we will assign to your furnace in the
“Addressing Your Furnace” step of this instruction.
