Programming
Simple set up, out of the box
Wi-fi
If you’re going to connect over wi-fi, the easiest way to set up is using WPS.
Power up the unit. Press the WPS button on your customer’s router and within two
minutes, press and hold the up arrow marked with WPS on the Essential IP unit.
The display will initially show ‘Discovering’, then ‘Connecting’. When successfully
connected to the platform, it’ll show ‘Path Wi-fi Registered’.
Wired Ethernet
When not using wi-fi you can wire an Ethernet cable into the customers’ router or
network. The unit’s default set-up is to use an Ethernet connection, unless WPS is used.
Wire in the Ethernet cable, power up the unit, and it’ll start to connect to the platform.
When successfully connected, the display will read ‘Path: Ethernet Registered’.
Unit initialisation
The unit will immediately attempt to connect to the BT Redcare platform. It’ll typically
complete path establishment to either Ethernet or wi-fi within 60 seconds from power up.
