2.2. Configuration
2.2.1. System start-up
For the initial start-up the LINK Master Controller and Gateway keypads will
be used because the DuraCloud App and LINK Touch are not yet paired with
the LINK Master.
Also be aware that the last step in the initial start-up of the Gateway is
to search for any software updates. This process is only possible when a
network connection with internet access has been established. If you have
opted for the local ‘network’ connection (
→
2.1.3.) this step in the start-up
will be skipped.
-
Power up the LINK Master by switching on the power supply.
-
On the keypad all Led’s will blink once short, to check their
functioning.
-
On the controller keypad all Led’s of connected devices will stay
ON.
-
On the gateway keypad the on/off button will start blinking for 30
seconds. This means it is starting up.
-
Two minutes after start-up, the “DuraCloud” LED will show if the
LINK Master has made an internet connection (LED ON) or not (LED
OFF).
-
When the internet connection is made, The LINK Master will now
search for any software updates.
-
During the process of updating, the LINK Master will be fully
operational.
2.2.2. DuraCloud app pairing

network access to be created.

linked to one or more gateways.
