1 Introduction

A special feature of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation’s “Centralized Controller AG-150A” is that a PC connected to a LAN can be used to monitor the operation condition of air conditioners, perform air conditioner operations, and make initial settings.

This document explains the procedures for making initial settings for the Centralized Controller AG-150A using the web browser.

Hereinafter, the centralized controller AG-150A, unless otherwise specified, will be called "AG-150A".

Note: License of "Web Monitor" or "Basic License Pack" is necessary to use the web browser and update program. Register the license key on the AG-150A LCD screen.

A one-day license key can be registered on the LCD screen that allows the user to use the "Web Monitor" only on the day of the registration. Use this license key to update the program or to use the initial setting browser, or in any other situations when a temporary license key is necessary.

Note: Use a security device such as a VPN router when connecting the AG-150A to the Internet to prevent unauthorized access. Note: "Air to water booster unit" and "Air to water HEX unit" are referred to as "Hot water supply".
