Getting your first board on your local Wi-Fi network
The very first board on from your System2 Air should be configured for your Wi-Fi. This will allow
you to connect and adjust the board settings and download future software. The examples below
are from a servo8 board. The hotspot for a panel controller will be “panel-xxxxxx” where the x’s are
your devices serial number.
Connect all boards of your starter kit to power and cable the CAN network prior to commencing.
Broadly speaking, here’s how to connect to your first board to Wi-Fi. Apply 12 VDC regulated power
to all starter kit System2 boards.
Observe the RUN LED flashing about once per second.
Press and hold the HOTSPOT button for 1 second; observe the RUN LED flash rate increase
to double.
From your phone, tablet or other Wi-Fi device scan for Wi-Fi networks and locate the
hotspot network for the panel controller (it will be the device name/serial number on the
sticker) such as “serv8-xxxxxx”. See above Servo-8 photo for example.
Connect to the devices hotspot network. You may receive a warning stating this network
does not connect to the Internet. This is normal.
Enter the address “192.168.4.1/admin” in your browser (screenshot below) on your phone
or tablet browser.
Enter the network name (SSID) and password for your local network. Note case sensitivity
(screenshot below). Note the IP Address field (1) is blank indicating no network connectivity.
