Wi-Fi Connection
There are two ways to configure the Wi-Fi
connection. Follow one of these methods to
connect the Envoy to the Internet and Enlighten.
Method A
: Use the WPS function on the router.
1. Verify that there is no Ethernet cable connected
to the Envoy.
2. Confirm the homeowner’s router supports WPS
function. (WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected
Setup.) Look for a button on the router with a
symbol like one of these.
3. Once you find WPS button on the wireless
router, press and hold it for a few seconds. On
most routers, a WPS LED begins flashing.
(Pressing the WPS button on the router
activates device pairing.)
4. Initiate the WPS
pairing at the Envoy
by pressing and
holding the AP
Mode button for five
seconds .
NOTE
:
If the AP Mode button is
held for fewer than five seconds,
AP mode will be initiated, but not
WPS pairing.
If AP mode is enabled
accidentally, the Envoy’s
network will be visible on your
Wi-Fi settings and the AP
Mode LED will be lit solid
green.
5. To disable AP mode, touch the AP Mode
button for one second, then release it.
Method B
: Manually configure Wi-Fi connection.
1. Click on the
Network
tab.
2. Select the homeowner’s Wi-Fi
network from the list of available
networks.
3. Connect to the homeowner’s Wi-
Fi network. This may require that
you enter the homeowner’s
network password.
Within three minutes the Envoy-S
Network Communications LED
lights solid green to indicate
successful connection to the Internet
and to Enlighten.
Hard-Wire Ethernet
The most reliable Internet connection, when Mobile
Connect or Wi-Fi are not options, is a hard-wired
Ethernet connection. In a hard-wire connection you
must use an Ethernet cable (Use Cat5E or Cat6
UTP – Do not use STP cable) to connect to the
homeowner’s router on one end and directly to the
Envoy on the other end. This is a good option when
the Ethernet cable will span a distance of no more
than 100m (328 feet).
If it is not physically possible to hard-wire the
connection, use Ethernet bridges instead.
