Connect the Smart Building Hub to Equipment
The Smart Building Hub (SBH) permanently connects to the
®
Verasys
system using the 4-terminal system bus port.
Note:
If the SBH is at the end of a line, set the end of the line
switch to on.
Note:
The RJ12 jack beside the 4-terminal block can be used
as a temporary connection to the system bus using the RJ12
cable supplied with the SBH.
Figure 1: Connecting the SBH
+
1.
Wire the system bus communications to the blue, 4-
terminal connector and connect it to the port. See Figure 1.
Note:
As a Wi-Fi adapter is not supplied with the SBH, you
can order a supported adapter, connect it to the SBH, and
continue to steps 2 and 3. Alternatively, you can connect the
SBH using a USB to micro USB cable.
2.
Connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to the building Ethernet
network as instructed by the building IT department. The
Ethernet must be plugged into the SBH if you choose the
(optional) Ethernet setup.
3.
Connect power to the SBH.
Once power is supplied to the SBH, the Wi-Fi AP LED
flashes to indicate that the device is initializing. When the
Fault LED turns off, the Wi-Fi AP LED flashes, and the
RUN LED is on, you can connect to the SBH using the field
installed USB Wi-Fi adapter access point.

Option A: Connecting to the SBH Wi-Fi access point
The SBH can be configured with Wi-Fi using a mobile device or a
laptop.
1.
In your Wi-Fi enabled device, access the Wi-Fi settings and
select the Verasys-SBH access point name.
2.
Connect to the SBH Wi-Fi network using the supplied
passphrase from the beginning of this guide.
Option B: Connecting the SBH using a USB to micro
USB cable
Note: If you are using a Wi-Fi adapter, do not complete this
procedure.
1.
Plug the micro USB side of the USB to micro USB cable
into the micro USB port on the SBH.
2.
Plug the USB side into a laptop running Windows software.
Note: If the SBH installs successfully, skip to step 3. If the install
was not successful, you must update the device drivers. To
update the drivers, complete the following steps:
i. Open Control Panel.
ii. Open Device Manager.
iii. Right click on the RNDIS with the exclamation mark
and select Update Driver Software.
iv. Select Browse my computer for driver software
v. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on
my computer.
vi. Select Network Adapters from the list.
vii. Select: Microsoft Corperation (NOT Microsoft).
viii. Select NDIS Compatible Device.
ix. When the message Update Driver Warning
appears, select Yes.
The driver installs.
3.
Open a web browser and type 169.254.1.100 into the URL
bar. The login screen appears.
Note:
If the SBH does not connect to the 169.254.1.100 URL,
refresh the browser once or twice. If the SBH still does not
connect, use a small screwdriver or similar tool to press the
Reboot button. The Reboot button is located below the LEDs
on the front of the SBH, see Figure 2.
Log in to the SBH user interface (UI)
1.
Navigate to the following URL: www.smartbuildinghub.com,
to open the SBH browser interface.
Note:
The SBH ships with a private smartbuildinghub.com SSL
certificate installed to ensure secure communication with the
SBH. However, this certificate does not indicate that it is trusted
in a browser. If you wish to install your own certificate, refer to
the
Smart Building Hub Network and IT Guidance Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12012324)
for more information.
2.
Use the default Admin login credentials from the beginning
of this guide.
3.
Read and accept the SBH license agreement.
Change Passwords and SSID
The first time you log into the SBH, the
Change Password and
Passphrase
web page appears. You must change the Admin
password, Wi-Fi passphrase, and the SSID.
IMPORTANT: After you change the Wi-Fi passphrase or SSID, the web
server restarts and you must rejoin the SBH Wi-Fi network using the new
passphrase. On some mobile devices, you must select and forget the
original SBH Wi-Fi network before rejoining the network with the new
passphrase. A laptop running Microsoft Windows is a device that
behaves this way.
1.
In the
New Admin Password
field, enter a new password.
2.

Take note of the address in the IP Address field. By default,
the SBH is configured to dynamically receive an IP address
from your network using DHCP.
Note:
If the IP Address does not appear, refresh the screen.
5.
Enter the IP address from the previous step into the
address bar of your browser.
You now have access to the SBH using an Ethernet
network.
