Room Alert 26W
Installation
Room Alert 26W unit. Do not use any other power adapter or it could damage the unit.
Step 1:
Install The AVTECH Device Discovery Utility
The AVTECH Device Discovery Utility is used to initially discover the Room Alert 26W after it is
connected to your network. The Device Discovery Utility can be installed from the AVTECH Update
CD or downloaded from the ‘Downloads’ section of the
AVTECH.com
website. Install this utility on
a Windows-based computer that is located on the same network that the Room Alert 26W unit will be
connected to. Install this now and we will come back to the Device Discovery Utility in a later step.
Step 2:
Install The Room Alert 26W ID Box
The Room Alert 26W must be connected in the following order for initial configuration
and discovery on the network to be successful. Locate the Ethernet cable included with
your package and connect one end to the ‘Network’ port on the front of the Room Alert
26W unit. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an open port on the hub, switch
or router that will give the Room Alert 26W unit access to your network.
Next, locate the ‘AVTECH 5v 1A Power Adapter’ and plug it into a surge protected power source.
NOTE: The Room Alert 26W unit can be plugged into a UPS, however this will prevent the built-in power sensor from being
able to detect a main power failure and send an immediate alert when that occurs.
Then, attach the other end of the power adapter to the ‘Power’ port on the Room Alert 26W
unit
only if the Room Alert 26W unit is already connected to the network
. Be sure to
remove the sticker over the ‘Power’ port before attaching the ‘AVTECH 5v 1A Power
Adapter’ to the Room Alert 26W unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT POWER to the Room Alert 26W unit during the initial setup UNTIL AFTER you have
connected it to your network as described above or it will cause problems automatically assigning the initial IP address.
Once the network and power connections have been completed, verify that the LED
located on the bottom-left side of the network jack lights up indicating power and network
connectivity.
NOTE: The Room Alert 26W unit has a built-in battery backup system (i.e. UPS) that will keep the Room Alert 26W
unit powered long enough to send an alert notification indicating power failure. To enable this, simply pull the plastic tab from the air vent
on the left side of the unit so that the battery contact is enabled. There is no need to open the enclosure and doing so may void the
warranty. Consult Technical Support before opening the Room Alert 26W ID box.
Next, remove the plastic pull tab, enabling the built-in UPS.
Step 3:
Discovery And Network Settings
Once the Room Alert 26W unit has been properly installed according to Step 2 above, open the
AVTECH Device Discovery Utility and click the ‘Search’ button. The AVTECH Device Discovery
