Set-up
Please read this entire section
before starting to configure the
WLAN access data.
During and after installation, keep
a minimum distance of 1 m to
your router.
Make sure that the scratch field on
the back of the device has not
been damaged before first use
and that the QR code or text
below it is not completely visible.
If the scratch field has been da-
maged, please contact your speci-
alist retailer.
For installation of the Homematic IP
WLAN Access Point you will need the
free Homematic IP app for Android
and iOS. Download the app in the res-
pective app store and install it on your
smartphone.
The Homematic IP WLAN Access Point
offers two different ways for trans-
mission of the WLAN access data: For
the standard procedure, it is assumed
that the smartphone is located in the
same WLAN network in which the
Homematic IP WLAN Access Points
will be integrated. If the standard pro-
cedure fails, the alternative procedu-
re can be used. For this purpose, the
Homematic IP WLAN Access Point pro-
vides its own WLAN network, to which
the smartphone must be connected in
order to transmit the access data.
