- Dedicated Internet connection (If using the Cellular router option this is a dedicated connection).
- LAN switch or WIFI Access Point.
- DHCP or Static IP Address.
- Wired Ethernet – Cat5 or greater wiring. LAN Switch port required for each unit
if using existing network.

5.3.1 Basic Topologies
Topology #1: Ethernet
In this configuration each WattStation is connected to a common Ethernet LAN to provide
primary connectivity. The WattStations do not need to be plugged into the same switch, but
the switches must be part of the same common network segment or VLAN. Internet
connectivity is provided through the default gateway.
