Luxor - Setting Up Wi-Fi Network

There are two ways to associate a Luxor Controller with a Wi-Fi network: through a networked Wi-Fi router, or directly to a wireless iOS or Android device.  A strong WIFI signal (RSSI 70 or above) is strongly recommended at the area of installation of the Luxor face pack.

Network Requirements

To connect to a Wi-Fi router please make sure of the following parameters:

  • 802.11b/g 2.4 Ghz compatible only
  • WEP or WPA Encryption
  • All Luxor Controllers at a single site are on the same Wi-Fi Network.
  • Signal Strength is consistent where the facepack and Wi-Fi Module are located. We recommend a 70 RSSI level or greater for consistent WIFI signal.  If the signal is low or inconsistent, raise the router location, mount the Facepack as close as possible to the Wi-Fi router, or install a Wi-Fi extender to increase signal strength.

Connecting a Luxor to a Wi-Fi Router

 

1

Navigate to the SETUP screen and select the Wi-Fi button.

2

Scroll to the NETWORK button, press scroll wheel to select.

3

Look for the SSID (Network Name) of the local Wi-Fi network that is also used by smartphones and/or tablets at the location.

4

Select the network by highlighting it and pressing down on the scroll wheel. The Luxor will now switch back to the Wi-Fi Setup screen and show the network that is selected. When successfully connected to the router, the display will show "Connected to Router".

Association to the network can take some time. If connection fails, it may be due to weak signal strength. Raising the location of the router may help to increase the signal strength at the Luxor location. If raising the router height or location does not work, you may need to move the Luxor closer to the Wi-Fi router or install a Wi-Fi network extending device.

The Luxor facepack with the installed Module and Antenna can also be run to the interior using proper cabling methods, which will also increase signal strength if the Wi-Fi network is interior based.

Adding Additional Luxor Controllers to the Same Network

When adding additional Luxors to the same network, each needs to be numbered using the Controller ID feature.

When adding an additional Luxor, and before selecting a network, add a Controller ID number in order to identify it. This feature is most useful when using Direct Mode so that each Luxor can be identified for communication.
