1. Insert a USB storage device into one of the two
USB ports of the energy manager (USB storage
medium has an ext4 or FAT32 file system).
2. Activate function.
3. Password assigned: Enter password.
The password protects your data and must be
entered when importing or restoring the backup.
Information
The option to perform a backup manually is still avail-
able.
5. Selecting a network connection
To use the energy manager via the web application,
the end device (PC, tablet or smartphone) and the
energy manager should be connected in the domestic
network (via WiFi, PLC or Ethernet connection). The
Internet connection of the domestic network enables
you to use all the functions of the web application.
If there is no domestic network available at the place
of use, your end device can be used to log in directly
to the energy manager via its WiFi hotspot. However
with this there is no Internet connection and only the
locally installed functions are available.
Information
In the web application, the hotspot connection
should only be deactivated if a connection to a do-
mestic network is possible.
g Note the operating instructions of the Porsche
Home Energy Manager.
e
Select the desired network connection (WiFi,
Powerline Communication (PLC), Ethernet).
WiFi
The energy manager can be connected to an existing
WiFi network (e.g. via a network router).
Client mode is activated in the web application. The
energy manager can be added to the network both
manually via password entry or automatically using
the existing WPS function.
Once the energy manager is connected to the net-
work router, it is automatically assigned an IP ad-
dress, which can be viewed in the settings of the
energy manager and router.
The prerequisite for the use of a WiFi connection is
that the WiFi network can be received at the place
of use of the device. Does your smartphone, which is
logged into your WiFi network, have WiFi reception
at the place of use of the energy manager? If recep-
tion is weak, it can under certain circumstances be
improved by adjusting the WiFi router or by using a
WiFi repeater.
1. Activate WiFi.

nection to the network is established.

Powerline Communication (PLC)
With Powerline Communication, communication
takes place via the power grid. The existing power
grid is used to establish a local network for data
transfer.
The energy manager can be connected to a PLC net-
work in two ways:
– As PLC client:
The energy manager is registered as a client
in a PLC network. The PLC modem assigns an
IP address to the energy manager and enables
communication via the power grid. The security
code of the energy manager must be input on
the PLC modem.
Please note: To this end, a PLC modem with
HomePlug standard is required (not included in
the scope of supply).
– With DHCP server:
