TABLE OF CONTENTS

Introduction

Once your Qendercore Hub is installed and powered up, you will need to connect it to the internet before being able to make use of many of its features. For some models of Qendercore Hub, an Ethernet cable may be a good option. Otherwise, you will need to connect it to the internet via WiFi or via WPS. This document explains the AP (Access Point) setup method. Please note, Qendercore Hubs are only compatible with 2.4Ghz WiFi networks, you may need to enable this in your WiFi router settings if it is not already. 


See Qendercore Setup Manual for the most up to date version of any Qendercore Setup Procedures. This document is intended as a short outline of one of the most common parts of the overall Setup process.

Instructions


  1. On your Qendercore Device, double click the Interactive Button to put it into Setup Mode. This will be indicated by the GREEN MODE LED starting to slow flash. 
    1. DONSTR001- Button is located just above the POWER LED
    2. DONSTR002- Button is located in the centre of the hub. 
  2. Once in Setup Mode, triple click the Interactive Button to activate the Qendercore WiFi AP. This will be indicated by the GREEN MODE LED starting to fast flash. 
  3. On your computer or smart device, open your WiFi settings and connect to the WiFi network named "Qendercore". When prompted for a password, input "p1234567". You should be connected to the Qendercore AP, with No Internet.
    1. On smart devices with mobile data, it is recommended to switch off mobile data from this point onwards. Airplane mode may be suitable for this. 
  4. Once connected, use your preferred Web Browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc), and navigate to http://qendercore.local OR 192.168.89.89. You will be directed to the page below:
     
  5. Click on the "Installed in" field, and select the country of installation. Once selected, click Apply. 
  6. Select the desired WiFi network from the list on the screen, and then enter the WiFi password into the "Wi-Fi passphrase" field. Use the "show password" function to double check that you have input the correct password, then click "Connect". You will see the below popup:
  7. Once the connection is completed, the YELLOW CONNECTIVITY LED should go solid, with only very short blinks. Once this happens, your device is connected to the internet and communicating with the Qendercore servers. This can also be confirmed on the screen of the device you are using to do the setup, as the Qendercore DNS Lookup and Internet Connectivity sections should now say AVAILABLE.
If your Qendercore Hub has been disconnected from the internet for a period of time and/or this is the first time it is being connected to the internet, a software upgrade may happen automatically. This will be characterized by the GREEN MODE LED and the YELLOW CONNECTIVITY LED  flashing alternately to each other. Please leave the hub powered and connected to the internet for the period of the update (usually 5-10 minutes).
