Wi-Fi Installation
Step 6: Reconnect
communication cable. Close
facepack, and ensure it locks
into place.

Note
The menu option changes depending on the preferred
wireless connection. The LAN menu is the default
option. Wi-Fi will appear if the WIFIMOD2 is plugged
into the facepack.

Wi-Fi Setup
Setup
There are two ways to associate a controller with a Wi-Fi
network: through a networked Wi-Fi router or directly to a
wireless iOS or Android device.
Connecting to an Existing Network (Wi-Fi Module)
To connect a controller to an existing Wi-Fi network, follow the
steps below. Please ensure the Wi-Fi module is already installed
per the instructions in the installation section.
1. From the Home screen, navigate to the Setup screen using
the scroll wheel.
2. Scroll to and select Wi-Fi.

Note
The controller defaults to “Direct Connect” mode.
8
Wi-Fi Setup
3. Scroll to Network eld and press scroll wheel to choose a
specic network.
4. The Wi-Fi Networks page auto-populates with the SSIDs of
local wireless networks within range of the controller. The
security column displays “Y” or “N” (yes or no) if a password
is required to connect to that network. The RSSI column
displays a numeric value to indicate the signal strength of
each network. RSSI is measured between zero and 120, with
optimum performance above 70.

9
5. If a “Y” was displayed for the selected network, a password
entry screen will appear. Select each box to scroll for the
desired character and press the scroll wheel to nalize that
character. Move to the next character space and repeat the
process until the full password is entered.
Note
Connection can take up to 20 seconds. Note
For best results, ensure an RSSI of 70+.
8. If the network SSID does not appear in the list of available
networks, but the network is close enough that it should be
able to connect, select the “Other Network” button from the
Wi-Fi networks page.
Wi-Fi Setup
6. Select “OK.”
7. The controller will then connect to the network.
9. Enter the SSID of the desired network.
10. Select the appropriate password button and enter the
password accordingly as shown previously. Hint: WPA is the
most common in modern networks.

10
Note
This menu option changes depending on which
network connection is being used. “Wi-Fi” displays
only when the Wi-Fi module is connected into the
accessory port. If no Wi-Fi is present, LAN will appear
by default.
Wi-Fi Setup
Connecting to an Existing Network (LAN)
A direct connection between the controller and the network
equipment can provide a more reliable connection. A LAN
adapter is pre-installed into the Luxor controller. Insert ethernet
cable into LAN port to begin LAN connection process.
1. From the Home screen, navigate to the Setup screen using
the scroll wheel.
2. Scroll to and select LAN.

11
Wi-Fi Setup
3. The LAN status screen will display as “Connected” when a
Cat 6 connection is made between the LAN module and the
network device.

12
Wi-Fi Setup
Direct Connect
The controller can be placed in direct connect mode, allowing an
iOS or Android device to connect directly over Wi-Fi to a single
controller. This removes the need to go through the Wi-Fi router
or network in order to communicate directly with the controller.
1. From the Home screen, navigate to the Setup screen using
the scroll wheel.
2. Scroll to and select Wi-Fi.
Note
This menu option only appears if Wi-Fi module is
installed.

13
3. The controller defaults to Direct Connect mode. The network
name is LXTWO.
Wi-Fi Setup
Note
The Direct Connect feature is available only with the
Wi-Fi module, not a LAN connection.
4. If a controller is in Network mode, select the "Network"
button on the Wi-Fi setup screen. Then select "Direct
Connect" to switch to Direct Connect mode.

14
Wi-Fi Setup
Multiple Controllers
When multiple controllers on a single site are connected to the
same network via LAN or Wi-Fi, the app sees the controllers
as a single system with up to 250 groups available across all
controllers. Each controller will retain and automate its own
programs, but when initiating a manual group event or theme
through the smartphone app, the controllers will act as one.
1. To set up multiple controllers on a single site, start by
entering the same Wi-Fi network information on each
controller that will be linked. Refer to pages 8 or 11 for
detailed instructions.
2. When manually initiating a group from the smartphone app,
every controller will activate and every xture assigned to
that group will initiate, no matter which controller the xture
is connected to.
3. Group/theme names and theme settings are saved across
all linked controllers and will remain in sync as long as each
Luxor remains connected to the network. Note: The facepack
displays only the group numbers and theme letters; names
assigned by the user are displayed only through the app.

Wi-Fi Care and Maintenance
Wi-Fi Tips
The Wi-Fi operates optimally at an RSSI of 70 or greater. If the
RSSI indicates a value lower than 70, consider the following
alternatives:
• Add an extender or access point to the local network,
boosting signal closer.
• Move into an area with less interference.
• Consider switching to the LAN module for a Cat 6 connection
in areas of poor signal strength.
If the Wi-Fi signal is not as strong as you think it should be,
consider possible sources of interference. This can include the
following:
• Neighbors' Wi-Fi networks
• Household electronics such as cordless phones, baby
monitors, or microwaves
• Physical interference such as drywall, brick, or stucco

Wi-Fi Legal Information
Regulatory and Legal Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harm-ful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
The user is cautioned that changes/modications not approved
by the responsible party could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base
station transmission devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or
more should be maintained between the antenna of this device
and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation
at a closer distance is not recommended. The antenna(s) used
for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.
Wi-Fi Legal Information
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le
présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne
d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les
risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de
sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.)
ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (IC: 7693A-24WG0MAMB) has been
approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna
types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the
maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for
use with this device.
