Connect to a Router
Connecting to WiFi with a Smart Phone Instructions
If you have sensor connections that are not hard wired into the system please disconnect them with the power off. If the system is plugged in (powered) please unplug the system and then power it back on and if it is not, please plug the system into a power source. The Log-Alert signal will broadcast for up to 3 minutes after power cycling the system. It is the power cycling of the system that initiates the system’s WiFi signal.
Next open your phone’s WiFi network selection menu to choose a WiFi network. Find, select and connect to the network that begins with Log-Alert with alphamerical characters following.
Some phones can take up to 20 seconds processing the connection and warn the user that the WiFi device (our device) does not have internet access. Consequently, we recommend waiting 20 seconds or pressing one of the below (red arrow) options. Then open an internet browser on your phone or laptop and type 192.168.4.1 into the URL space within the browser.
Once a screen similar to the one below opens press the configuration button.
Next choose the best WiFi signal.
Our system only connects to a 2.4mhz signal (not 5mhz).
Then type in the WiFi signal’s password
The Log-Alert device should automatically reboot and connect. Please log into your online dashboard (username and password sent to purchaser via email) and look below and to the left of your system’s graph to determine if your system is connected. It will state either WiFi On or WiFi Off.
If you are unable to connect, please unplug the system and plug it back in and diligently go through the connection process again. If you are still unable to connect to WiFi we recommend using Log-Alert’s base station. This is an easier and quicker solution than reconfiguring the security settings of your router.
