of your IndoorHub, write it here,
and keep it in a safe place:
If you don't have an account, sign up for one
on AyrMesh.com
Use a computer connected
to the same port you're
using for the IndoorHub!

AyrMesh IndoorHubs can be used two ways: as a Gateway, which is a simple access
point, and as a Remote, which acts as a wireless extender for an IndoorHub Gateway.

Assemble and Connect
Connect the "regular" side of the USB
cable to the power supply:
Connect the "micro" side of the USB
cable to the IndoorHub:
Plug the power supply into the wall and
wait for the IndoorHub to boot:
Wait for the light on the IndoorHub
to stay on solid (no blink) - this indicates
the IndoorHub has successfully checked in
to AyrMesh.com and downloaded its
con�guration. For a Gateway IndoorHub
(one connected to your network with an
Ethernet cable), that's it - mount the
IndoorHub where you want it. For a Remote
IndoorHub, that indicates it is initialized.
It can be disconnected from the Ethernet and
moved wherever you want it to be installed.
...And then connect the IndoorHub to
your network with an Ethernet cable
(use either port on the IndoorHub):
For best performance, mount IndoorHubs
�high and "in the clear" �possible.
Make sure you have an account on
AyrMesh.com

See http://ayrstone.com/support for additional information, hints,
and troubleshooting tips.
Make sure the IndoorHub is working
It usually takes less than a minute for the IndoorHub to check in and show up on AyrMesh.com,
but sometimes it can take a little longer.
The IndoorHub will have the same encryption passkey as your AyrMesh Hubs (as set on
AyrMesh.com), and the SSID will be the same but with "_IndoorAP" appended on the end. This
is to keep AyrMesh Receivers from connecting to the IndoorHub.
Note that devices can be plugged into either Ethernet port of the IndoorHub to connect them
to the network.
The light on the IndoorHub indicates its
state. For a Gateway IndoorHub, the light
should be on steady. For a Remote IndoorHub,
the light should blink, and the rate of the
blink indicates the signal strength to the
next IndoorHub. Blinking quickly (less than a
second on and o�) means the IndoorHub is
not "talking" to another Hub. One second on
and one second o�indicates a very strong
signal, while 4 seconds on and 4 seconds o�
indicates a very weak signal.
4Troubleshooting
If a Gateway IndoorHub's light is blinking quickly, then the device it's connected to may not
be online. Make sure the Bridge, Receiver, Hub, or router it is connected to is actually online
and able to reach the Internet.
If a Remote IndoorHub's light is blinking quickly, then it cannot reach the Internet, usually
because it cannot connect to another IndoorHub. Make sure the Gateway IndoorHub is
working correctly, as well as any other IndoorHubs between this one and the Gateway.
Low bandwidth (slow upload/download) may be caused by several things:
- Low bandwidth at the device the Gateway IndoorHub is connected to - check it.
- Poor positioning of IndoorHub(s) - higher and in the clear is better.
- Too many IndoorHubs - bandwidth is diminshed at each "hop" across an IndoorHub, and
too many IndoorHubs in a relatively small area will interfere with each other.
Note that IndoorHubs will only mesh with other IndoorHubs, not with the Outdoor Hubs - to
use a Remote IndoorHub, you must have a working Gateway IndoorHub.

ULTRA-QUICKSTART GUIDE
These directions are minimized for more knowledgeable/experienced installers.
For the "regular" �uickstart instructions, turn these directions over. For more
detailed instructions, please see https://support/ayrstone.com
GET READY: Write down the MAC address of the IndoorHub and put it someplace safe.
If you haven't already, create an account on AyrMesh.com. Note: if you don't already have
AyrMesh devices, create the account from a computer connected to the same router you'll
connect the IndoorHub to. Otherwise you may need to enter the MAC address manually.
2ASSEMBLE: Connect the IndoorHub to the power supply with the USB cable.

3INITIALIZE: With an Ethernet cable, connect one of the Ethernet
ports of the IndoorHub to your network (router, Hub, Receiver,
Bridge radio, etc.), then plug in the power supply. Wait until the IndoorHub
checks in to AyrMesh.com - the light will go from blinking rapidly to steady on.
This should take about a minute.
4INSTALL: Mount the IndoorHub as high and "in the clear" as possible.
You can connect other devices to either of the Ethernet ports on the IndoorAP.
