CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
Prior to attempting a connection, install the ElkConnect app on the mobile device that will be used to congure the E27 Alarm Engine.
Access Point Mode
When the AEWF is in access point mode, it creates a temporary Wi-Fi network that is accessible from a mobile device. This
facilitates an initial connection to allow conguration of the customer's Wi-Fi network.
1. After completing the installation, remove the cover from the E27 board and locate the Cong SW button in the lower center of
the board. Power up the E27 board using the master power switch.
2. Observe the seven segment display on the E27 board. After several seconds, the
n
symbol (small n) will be displayed.
Wait for the panel to beep 3 times and display the IP address 192.168.5.1 on the seven
segment display. This indicates the AEWF is in AP mode and has created the temporary
network.
3. From the mobile device, access the Wi-Fi setting page (steps vary from device to device).
Search for new Wi-Fi networks. Locate the network named Elk E27 AP. Connect to this
network using the password elk12345.
4. Once connected, launch the ElkConnect app. From the main menu, select Settings, then
Discover Local Systems. Select the E27 and enter the installer code (default = 1728).
5. On the Network/ Wi-Fi Settings screen, a list of available Wi-Fi networks will be displayed.
Select the appropriate network. If the desired network is not displayed, repeat steps 1-4.
6. Enter the Wi-Fi password, then click Save. A countdown will appear on the seven
segement display. At the end of the countdown, the E27 will reboot. Once rebooted, the
seven segment display will show the IP address assigned to the E27 from the customer's
network. Ensure the mobile device is connected to the customer's network. If necessary,
reconnect to the appropriate network from the Wi-Fi settings page of the mobile device.
Then, reconnect the ElkConnect app to the E27.
Manually Entering Access Point Mode
After initial setup it may be necessary to manually enter access point mode (helpful if network setup or equipment has changed).
Press the Cong SW button 5 times. Wait for the
n
symbol (small n) to appear on the seven segment display, then press the
Cong SW button twice. Follow the instructions above, starting at step 2.
WPS Mode
In some installations, it may be desirable to connect the AEWF to a Wi-Fi network via WPS. If supported by the network router,
WPS allows a device to be connected to the network without entering the network password.
1. After completing the installation, remove the cover from the E27 board and locate the Cong SW button in the lower center of
the board. Power up the E27 board using the master power switch.
2. Activate WPS on the network router.
3. Press the Cong SW button 7 times. Wait for the
m
symbol (large N) to appear on the seven segment display, then press the
Cong SW button twice.
4. After several seconds, the seven segment display will show the IP address assigned to the E27 from the customer's network.
Ensure the mobile device is connected to the customer's network. Launch the ElkConnect app. Select the E27 and enter the
installer code (default = 1728) to connect.
