Enabling the Network Connection
IMPORTANT: For new Wi-Fi-enabled units, there is a device called a "dongle" located at the back of the control panel. It resembles a USB drive and is inserted into the "XXX" port. The dongle is labeled with a MAC (Media Access Control) address. For older units that were shipped and installed without a dongle, a retrofit kit containing the dongle can be purchased and installed. The MAC address is printed on a label attached to the dongle. To ensure proper connectivity, the MAC address must be added to the customer’s network configuration (e.g., IP whitelisting, ARP table, DNS server, etc.).
NOTE: These instructions assume the network hardware is installed and actively working. This includes IP whitelisting the MAC address, so the radio properly communicates with the customer's network router and server(s) as applicable.
