By connecting the APak to the Z Control
"push" notifications. In addition, the user can verify the APak's readiness, remotely silence alarms and reset the unit, configure settings, and
modify how notifications are sent. Other visual information such as input status and battery level are available through the web and app interfaces.
There are 2 ways to connect the APak to the Z Control
1.
The simplest method is to use the Z Control
2.
The second method is to use your mobile device or computer to connect to the APak directly. Instructions for connecting directly are
provided below under "Use Your Mobile Device Or Computer To Connect Directly To The APak".
Use the Mobile App (iOS and Android)
Before you begin:
•
K now what your WiFi network is named (i.e. its SSID) and its password. Double check you know the correct password and exactly how it
is spelled, including capitalization. This will prevent the most common troubleshooting issues.
•
V erify that your mobile device has working WiFi and detects a strong signal from your WiFi network when you are standing next to the
APak. If the signal is questionable, your network may not be able to provide a stable connection for the APak.
•
Verify your WiFi network is connected to the internet and that it is broadcasting a visible, secure, 2.4Ghz network.
•
2 .4 Ghz network is required. If you only see 5 Ghz networks, you may need to log into your dual band router to choose to broadcast the
networks separately.
•
Band steering may need to be temporarily turned off during setup.
•
The 2.4Ghz network must use WPA or WPA2 security. WEP and Open networks are not compatible with the APak.
•
Any VPNs or other network controls may need to be temporarily turned off during setup.
•
Locate the APak's Device ID and data matrix on the top sticker.
•
L ike most internet connected devices, the APak's WiFi connectivity should be used behind a secure firewall. Most routers have a firewall
built into them. Consult a networking professional for specific questions about firewalls.
•
The above list also helps to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
These basic instructions will not detail every step, but provide an overview of what the app will do.
1.
O pen the app, sign in to your account, or create an account using the link at the bottom. Open your profile to set up any additional phone
numbers or email addresses where you would like to receive notifications.
2.
Once you're logged in to your account, create locations by touching the "+ " from the Locations screen. When ready to add a device,
choose the desired location name and then touch the "+" to start adding a device. Allow access to the camera so you can scan the data
matrix.
3.
N ow the app will provide several instruction screens about scanning the data matrix, joining the APak's network, and then LEAVING the
app and how to come back.
Rather than scan the data matrix, the user may instead enter the APak's Device ID to get started. Ignore warnings your mobile device may give you
about "unsecure network" or "no internet connection". The app is connecting directly with the Z Control
internet connection is necessary.
4.
W hen the captive screen opens (see Figure J in next section), use the Wifi Scan button to find the Wifi network you want the APak
to use, select it from the list provided at the bottom of the screen (you may need to scroll), and type the Passphrase in the field. The
Z Control
LED should be solid within a minute indicating successful connection to the router and the Z Control
®
connecting to the cloud, the APak controller may immediately update its firmware over the air (OTA), if an update is available. If an
update is taking place, the Z Control
solid and all other LEDs will turn off while the update is being installed. After up to 1 minute, the APak will restart and return to normal
operation. The APak's alert history on the Z Control
email accounts will occur.
5.
You now should go back to the Z Control
change a device to a different location in your account.
6.
O pen the APak and explore current status and configuration settings.
