Connections and buttons

The hub has two buttons with LEDs on the top and two connections on the back:

  • (A) Link button (LINK SYMBOL) and status LED for wireless pairing

  • (B) Cloud button (CLOUD SYMBOL) and status LED for the cloud service connection

  • (C) Ethernet socket for connecting the hub to the consumer’s broadband router or network switch

  • (D) Power socket for mains power

 

Connecting to the network

The hub needs to be connected to an available Ethernet socket on your broadband router. If no  socket is available, then a suitable network switch will be required. 

  • Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable into the router / switch

  • Connect the other end into the Ethernet socket on the hub (C), ensuring there is a
    positive “click”.



Powering the hub

The hub is packaged with UK mains adapter

  • Connect the power adapter into the hub (D)

  • Insert the power supply into the electricity socket

  • Power on the hub

Firmware update

The hub comes pre-installed with firmware that may automatically update once connected to the broadband router. 

Once the update has completed, the status LEDs will indicate the state of the hub (as shown in the status table).

During update, the two status LEDs will flash green alternately to indicate the update is in progress. The update will last for approximately four minutes. 

Do not switch off the power or disconnect the hub from the broadband during this time.

Hub status LEDs

After the hub has updated and before a device is added, the status LEDs will show the following:

  • Link LED (LINK SYMBOL) is red

  • Cloud LED (CLOUD SYMBOL) is green
