existing network using an
Ethernet cable.

Connect the supplied Power
Adapter to the AirTies
Expansion Unit and then
into a power socket. Turn
the unit on.

•To configure your AirTies Expansion Unit, open an Internet browser (Safari, Chrome,
Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) on your device (PC, Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet, etc.).
Enter “http://air4920.local”in the address bar. The device (PC, Laptop, Smartphone,
Tablet, etc.) will present the AirTies Expansion Unit setup page.
•On the AirTies Expansion Unit’s setup page, insert the Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and
Password, of your choice, and click “Save”. The pre-configured (factory) Wi-Fi Name

RETURNING UNITS TO FACTORY
SETTINGS:
To return the unit to factory settings, power on the unit, wait for the Power LED to
be lit solid white and press down on the reset button (in a small opening on the
back) for 10 – 12 seconds. A metal paperclip is a good choice to do this. When
the reset process is successfully triggered, the LEDs in the front will temporarily
“blink” and the unit will reboot (in about 2 minutes) to factory settings.
Note: When returning meshed units to Factory Default state, all Access Points
need to be reset within 2 minutes of resetting the first unit. If not, settings from
the units that have not yet been factory reset will again overwrite the factory
settings of the first unit.
