      • Multiple Boards: Repeat for each board you have.

       

      Method #2: The Built-in Setup Page (6 zone panels ONLY)

      1. Power on your boards one at a time by connecting the power supply.
      2. When the Konnected device is powered on, you should see a slow blinking blue LED indicating it's trying to connect to WiFi. Until WiFi is configured, the device will broadcast its WiFi network named konnected_XXXXXX for configuration.

      3. Connect to this WiFi network with your smartphone or computer, then open a web browser to http://192.168.4.1

      4. Select your wireless network from the dropdown menu and enter your WiFi password. After tapping Save, the device will connect to your home WiFi network, and the blue LED will stop blinking and turn off.

      It may look like the screen hangs at Connecting. This does not mean that the connection failed! Once the blue LED stops flashing, you can proceed to the next step.

      5.     Press the small REBOOT button on the device or unplug and re-plug it. The blue LED          will blink for a few seconds and then turn off, indicating that it's connected to WiFi and        ready to be discovered.

      Method #3 - Forcing a WiFi Connection

      1. Power the Konnected WiFi board via USB
      2. Connect to the network it broadcasts with a phone, tablet, or computer.
      3. Open a browser window and enter the following address into your address bar. Substitute your SSID for MYWIFI and your network password for MYPASSWORD.   http://192.168.4.1/setwifi?wifi_ssid=MYWIFI&wifi_password=MYPASSWORD
      4. Hit return. The card should then connect, and the blue light should go out. If it does, you have joined. Power cycle the board and check in your router's device list for the Konnected card (usually listed as Node-xxxxx)
