Installation
The ESBox requires only a connection to a power supply and a wired Ethernet connection to function
correctly. Each ESBox is supplied with an external screw-on antenna that should be attached during
installation. When power is applied to the ESBox and Ethernet is connected, the device should start
up and connect to the ESCo within 6 seconds.
During installation, the status of the ESBox can be quickly determined by observing the state of the
front panel LEDs. The diagram below shows the LED pattern that will be visible when the device is
operating normally.
The ‘Ethernet Status’ LED will turn
red if there is no Ethernet connection detected; this state typically
reflects a physical connectivity issue, such as an unconnected Ethernet cable. When the Ethernet
cable is correctly connected, the ‘Ethernet Status’ LED will blink green while the devic
e negotiates an
IP address using DHCP.
If the ‘ESCo Connection’ LED is red, this ESBox is not able to communicate with a compliant ESCo.
Check the ESBox’s settings for Primary and Secondary ESCo (address, port and path). If the ‘ESCo
Connection’ LED is bl
inking red, the ESBox is able to communicate with a compliant ESCo but is not
properly authenticated. Contact the ESCo operator if this condition occurs and ensure that the ESBox
is correctly registered with the ESCo.
Refer to the LED Quick Reference guide at the start of this document for more information on the
ESBox LED status indications.
