Connecting to Kemppi cloud services

To use the Kemppi cloud services, connect the welding machine to the internet either through a WLAN or a wired connection. Form the connection by using the Cloud services view in the View menu. You can also see the status of the Cloud services there.

Cloud communication requires that your network firewall allows outbound data through ports 80 (HTTP), 123 (NTP), 443 (HTTPS) and 8883 (Secure MQTT).
