Introduction
The HLWLAN is a 802.11b/g/n Transceiver kit that can make a wireless connection from the Om-
niLogic up to 250ft to the home’s router/access point preventing the need to run ethernet cable for
web access. Connection to the web is necessary for remote access to the OmniLogic using web
enabled devices.
Compatibility
Refer to this manual when using OmniLogic controls operating with MSP version R1.4.3 and
greater. For earlier OmniLogic MSP revisions, refer to previous HLWLAN manual versions. To
determine your OmniLogic’s MSP version, select the “config” icon on the home screen and then
select “system info” (see diagram on page 8).
Survey the location near the OmniLogic to locate the best mounting location. The HLWLAN has
a 15ft ethernet cable that connects to the OmniLogic. When determining the best mounting
location for the HLWLAN, note that it can be mounted on the two provided screws or strapped
to an object using the two included zip ties. To help determine if the mounting location is in
range of the router/access point, test the connection of other devices (phone, tablet, laptop,
etc.) at that same location.
If a reliable wireless connection can’t be made in the intended location, consider moving the
router/access point closer to the OmniLogic or using a longer outdoor rated ethernet cable to
move the HLWLAN closer to the router/access point.
Before You Begin
The HLWLAN kit contains the following:
• HLWLAN 802.11b/g/n Transceiver
• Power Injector
• OmniLogic power supply cable for
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector
• 2 Ethernet Cables
• Miscellaneous mounting hardware
Installation of the HLWLAN requires that
you have an existing wireless home net-
work in range of the intended HLWLAN
mounting location. The HLWLAN has a
radio range of about 250ft. To connect
the HLWLAN to your home network, you
will need to know the home network’s
SSID, security type and password.

Router/Access Point Information
The HLWLAN cannot be configured without the following information. Before going any further with
the installation, fill in the information below.
Router or Access Point’s SSID (wireless network name - case sensitive)____________________
To find the SSID:
1) Ask the homeowner. Each wireless router or access point has a default SSID which may be in
use, or has been changed by the network administrator (homeowner).
2) If the homeowner doesn’t know, have them login to the router/access point and read the
information from the device. The SSID should be shown along with other router settings. The
router’s documentation or manual should show how to access administrative settings and find
the SSID.
3) If a wireless device is already connected to the home network (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.), the
device’s connection properties may show the SSID.
Router or Access Point’s Security Type_______________________________
To find the Security Type:
1) Ask the homeowner. The network administrator (homeowner) would have set up the security
type based on the desired security level and the type of devices that will be connecting to the
wireless network.
2) If the homeowner doesn’t know, have them login to the router/access point and read the se-
curity type from the device. This information should be shown along with other router settings.
The router’s documentation or manual will show how to access administrative settings and find
the security type.
3) If a wireless device is already connected to the home network (phone, tablet, laptop, etc.), the
device’s connection properties may show the security type that is in use.
Wireless Network Password (case sensitive) _______________________________
The wireless network password is not broadcast or typically saved in the router/access point’s
administrative settings. The network administrator (homeowner) would have set up a password
when initially setting up the wireless security type. If no security was selected, the network is Open
and there is no password.
Installation
DANGER of Death, Injury or Property Damage if procedure not followed. This accessory
connects to the OmniLogic beneath the dead front panel. Dead front removal is required for this
installation. Power to the OmniLogic panel MUST be shut off before the dead front is removed. This
means a complete shutdown of power to the entire OmniLogic unit.

1) Depending on the mounting surface,
use either the included screws/
anchors or tie straps. A drilling tem-
plate is included when using screws.
Be sure that there are no major
obstacles between the HLWLAN and
the home’s router/access point.
Loosely mount the HLWLAN so that
you have visible access to the LED
indicators on the bottom back of
the unit. You will need to refer to
these indicators before permanently
fastening the HLWLAN.
2) Connect the Power Injector’s power cable to the
OmniLogic as shown above.

4) Position the Power Injector in a convenient location within the low voltage wiring compart-
ment of the OmniLogic. You can fasten the Power Injector with double sided tape or Velcro, if
desired. Connect the opposite end of the power supply cable. Connect the 2ft ethernet cable to
the Power Injector’s LAN port.
WARNING: The 2’ ethernet cable comes plugged into the LAN port on the PoE Injector.
DO NOT CHANGE THIS or you will damage the OmniLogic.
Connect one end of the 15ft outdoor ethernet cable to the Power Injector’s PoE port and the
other end to the port on the HLWLAN marked “LAN PoE”. To access this port, remove the HLW-
LAN’s bottom cover. Be sure to replace the cover when done.
After all connections are made, replace the OmniLogic dead front taking care that no wires are
pinched.

Configuration
With the HLWLAN now connected, power up the OmniLogic. Wait about 3-4 minutes for the Om-
niLogic to fully start. Verify that the HLWLAN is being powered and is connected to the OmniLogic
by looking at the PWR and LAN LED indicators on the backside near the ethernet connection. Both
LEDs should be lit.
After verifying that the HLWLAN is powered, it must now be configured to connect to the wireless
home network. From the OmniLogic’s Local Terminal touchscreen, select the “Wifi Bridge” screen
as shown below. Note that this cannot be performed from Remote Terminals.

Wireless Bridge Configuration
The HLWLAN will now scan for available access points. Once it has finished, the SSID of all available
access points will be displayed on the screen as shown below. Touching the desired SSID will begin
the connection process. Depending on the security used by the router or access point, you may be
prompted for a password.
If prompted for a password, the keypad will automatically appear. Enter the password and touch the
check mark to move on. The HLWLAN will begin to automatically connect to the selected access
point. Be patient -- this may take a few minutes to complete. Once complete, verify that you have
connected to the home network by making sure that you have an entry next to “Local IP” in Protocol
Properties, as shown below. Note that your Local IP address will likely be different than the one
shown below. If any IP address is shown, the OmniLogic is connected to your home network. If “Not
assigned” is shown, the OmniLogic is not connected to the home network and you should refer to
Troubleshooting.

Signal Strength
When connected to the home network, the WLAN LED indicator will be lit and one of the Signal
Strength LED indicators will be illuminated on the back of the HLWLAN. There are 3 LEDs indicating
increasing signal strength from left to right. Be sure that at least the left most LED is on steady. If it
is intermittently blinking, or not on at all, consider re-locating the HLWLAN or router/access point to
acquire a better connection.
After verifying an acceptable signal, secure the HLWLAN to the mounting surface.

Troubleshooting
1. The PWR and LAN LEDs are not lit.
This is an indication that the HLWLAN is not connected to the OmniLogic. Perform the following:
•Make sure that both ends of the ethernet cable are firmly connected; one side in the HLWLAN
and the other in the PoE Injector (see Installation Steps 3 and 4).
•Make sure that the PoE Injector cable is firmly inserted in the HLBASE Main Board (Installation
Step 2).
•Verify that the OmniLogic has power and that there is no break in the ethernet cable.
2. There is no “Local IP” address (page 7)
This is an indication that the HLWLAN is not connected to the home network.
• The HLWLAN may be mounted too far away from the home’s router/access point or there may
be too many obstructions between them. Using a Wifi capable phone, tablet or laptop, verify that
other mobile devices can connect from that same location as the HLWLAN.
• If other devices can connect, the most likely cause is an error in the configuration settings.
Reconnect the HLWLAN to the home’s access point by following the procedure on page 7.
• If other devices cannot connect to the wireless network, consider relocating your router/access
point or moving the HLWLAN closer using a longer outdoor rated ethernet cable.
3. Web enabled devices cannot connect to the OmniLogic
• Verify that you have an internet connection at your router/access point. Temporary outages
with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are not uncommon and the OmniLogic will be offline until
service is restored.
• Have any changes been made to your home network? Any changes to your home network
(router replacement, SSID name change, changes in security settings, IP reservation, etc.) may
require you to repeat the configuration steps on page 7.
• Have you removed power from the OmniLogic or made changes that require it to reboot? If so,
give the HLWLAN some additional time to reconnect to the home network.
