IRIS Connect Duo with GPRS/3G connection only:
GPRS/3G Network Scan
Select the ‘GPRS/3G network scan’.
The scan must be carried out
without
the SIM card fitted.
The dialler listens for every base station in range, requests operator name and records the signal strength. This will
take a few minutes to complete.
For a reliable GPRS/3G connection it is recommended that for the chosen network (SIM card) used there should be
at least two base stations with signal strength (CSQ) of 10 or more.
If the signal strength is below or close to minimum then try to reposition the IRIS Connect or use an external building
or high gain antenna (if necessary), and rerun the network scan to check signal strength.
Once you have the required GPRS/3G signal strength power down the dialler and insert the SIM card into the SIM
card holder, and insert the 4 x AA batteries if required then power the dialler back up.
Now press the button labelled AP again and on your connection device connect to the ‘IRIS’ network and using your
web browser connect to the IRIS Connect web interface again by browsing to ‘iris.local’.
Enter in the installer code setup beforehand and then select the Installation Wizard as indicated next.
IRIS Connect Solo or Duo without GPRS/3G or after network scan completed on Duo:
Installation Wizard
Select the Installation Wizard and follow the on screen prompts.
Note 1: If installing the IRIS Connect without batteries then please untick the ‘Use battery backup’ option.
Note 2: During the Installation Wizard the Wi-Fi status screen and the signal strength will be displayed. For a
reliable Wi-Fi connection it is recommended that the Wi-Fi network used should have a signal strength of 20 or
more. If this signal strength is lower than suggested try moving the IRIS Connect nearer the Wi-Fi router.
Once Installation Wizard is completed and any additional panel interface configuration setup via the settings menu,
check / configure the panel for the connection method being used and the current battery status.
To check the current battery statuses go to the option ‘Battery status’ in the main menu and this will indicate the
current status of the batteries.
