The Bauknecht Home Net feature allows to operate and supervise the appliance remotely by external device. To enable the
appliance to be remotely controlled, you first have to complete successfully the connectivity set up process. This process is
necessary to register your appliance and connect to your home network. The set up procedure has to be carried out only once. You
have to carry it out again if you change your router set up properties (network name or password or data provider).

1.2 PROVISIONING
•
Before starting the installation process turn on your router and verify that the wireless signal of your home router is reaching the
appliance. To verify the Wifi strength signal use a Tablet or Smart-phone connected only to the Wi-Fi router, disable any other
data connections, and place the device close to the appliance. Open any internet web page in a browser and check that it is
downloaded fast correctly. If the internet connection of your home is working correctly but the page is not downloaded, you may
need to install a Wi-Fi extender device (not provided with the appliance).
•
If the router supports WPS 2.0 (or subsequent versions), follow the automatic configuration procedure to connect the device to
the router. If the router doesn't support WPS, follow the manual configuration procedure.
Follow the instructions on your Bauknecht Home Net application on your smartphone to connect the appliance to your wifi
network.
Otherwise read the next paragraphs for automatic or manual connection.
1.2.1 AUTOMATIC SETUP INSTRUCTION (FIRST TIME USE) – WPS METHOD
This procedure is applicable only if your router supports WPS2.0 (or greater)
1.
On your appliance activate the provisioning process by pressing and hold for three seconds the connectivity button (an
acoustical feedback is played). The appliance is being set to a "search" mode for a local network. The Connectivity icon on the
appliance starts blinking fast.
2.
On wireless router press the WPS button to establish a connection between the two products. An indicator light on your router
will begin blinking.
3.
When the appliance successfully connects to the local router, the wifi icon switches from fast to slow blinking (supported not in
all appliances).
4.
The device will try to connect to the backend system. The connectivity icon remains continuously lit. If the Wi-Fi icon doesn't
stop flashing after a few minutes, this means the device was not able to make a connection with the home network through
WPS. Try repeating the procedure, and if it is unsuccessful, use the manual configuration procedure.
5.
You can abort the WiFi connection procedure by pressing the connectivity button.
