Installing The CheckBox HSv210 Controller
Locating the equipment
The CheckBox HSv210 must be located indoors in a dry area. The HSv210 should be
located close to power and the Internet connection.
Connecting the equipment
The CheckBox HSv210 will connect to your DSL, fiber, satellite, or cable modem using
an Ethernet network cable. Connect one end of a cable to the port marked
Internet
on
the CheckBox and the other end to your Internet connection. Depending upon your
particular modem the jack may be marked “LAN”, “PC”, “Host” or something else.
The ports marked
1 - - Local - - 2
will connect to your Guest area network - the part of
your network that your guests connect through. This may be a wired network feed
through a series of Ethernet switches, a wireless network fed to one or more
CheckBox meshing access points or other wireless access points, or a combination of
wired and wireless connections.
Guest traffic should not be connected through other routers before being connected to
CheckBox. Other routers connected between the guests and the CheckBox will cause
failure to identify individual devices on the network and failure to authenticate users
properly.
The jack marked
Power
connects to the included AC power adapter.
