Follow these steps to install and configure your AcuLink Internet Bridge:
- Prepare: Ensure you have an Acu-Link compatible sensor, a network router with an available Ethernet port, and an always-on internet connection.
- Connect: Plug the Ethernet cable into the bridge and your network router.
- Power: Connect the AC power adapter. The bridge will take about a minute to start up. During startup, the status lights will be solid blue.
- Update: The bridge may need up to 30 minutes to automatically download the latest software. Do not unplug cables during this time.
- Register: Once both status lights begin flashing, press and hold the REGISTER button on the bottom of the bridge for 4 to 6 seconds.
- Finalize: It may take up to 10 minutes for the bridge to send the signal to the Acu-Link servers. Complete the registration at www.Acu-Link.com.
Understanding Status Lights
The bridge features integrated status lights to indicate its current state:
- Initial Boot: Status Light 1 and 2 are steady.
- Downloading Firmware: Status Light 1 is blinking rapidly; Status Light 2 is steady (very dim). This takes 5 to 30 minutes.
- Re-Booting: Status Light 1 and 2 are steady.
- Ready for Use: Both status lights are blinking rapidly, indicating normal operation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, try the following solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the power adapter and cable are firmly connected and that power is being provided to the outlet.
- Cannot Activate Online: Wait a few minutes before attempting to register. Ensure you pressed the REGISTER button for 4 to 6 seconds.
- Reset: Unplug the power adapter for at least 2 minutes, then try pressing the register button again for 4 to 6 seconds.
- Network Settings: Ensure DHCP is enabled on your router. If MAC address filtering is enabled, your router may be blocking the bridge. Temporarily disable security to test activation.
