https://www.signify.com/global/innovation/trulifi/downloads
It is recommended to copy the LAN78xx.pkg zip-file belonging to
your MacOS version to your Mac desktop.
Double click the zip-file and a folder appears on your Mac desktop.
This folder contains a text file and package file
This describes how to install the driver for macOS Mojave (macOS
10.14) or higher and perform troubleshooting. The screenshots
may be slightly different, depending on your operating system
•DO NOT connect the USB key to your computer until you have
reached Step 8.
•Quit any running applications. A computer restart might be
performed during driver installation.
•Make sure you have admin rights on your device.

Step 1
Start computer with all USB cables disconnected, except the
keyboard and mouse.
Step 2
Allow the driver to be installed from another source than the App
Sore. In "System Preferences," click "Security & Privacy".
Step 3
Click the [ General ] tab.
By default, the security and privacy preferences of your Mac are
set to allow only apps from the App Store. To install the Trulifi
driver, you will need to allow apps from b both the App Store and
identified developers.
Step 4
•In System Preferences under General tab, click the lock and
enter your password to make changes.
•Select “App Store and identified developers”under the header
“Allow apps downloaded from”
•Click the lock to close the window.
Step 5
Double click truLiFi-x.x.pkg file belonging to your MacOS-version.
Step 6

the USB Key to your Mac.
Click the Microchip Icon to install the driver
Step 8
Next, allow the driver to be loaded. When you are installing the
driver under macOS Catalina (10.15) or Big Sur, permission to load
the driver is required. If this permission is not given, the computer
does not recognize the unit when it is connected. Be sure to follow
the procedure below to allow loading of the driver. Plug your
Trulifi USB key if not already done.
In "System Preferences", click "Security & Privacy".
Step 9
Click the [ General ] tab.
Make sure the message ‘System software from developer
"Microchip Technology Inc." was blocked from loading’is
displayed. In some cases, the message "Some system software
was blocked from loading." might be displayed instead.
The message about being blocked is displayed for only 30 minutes
after installing the driver. When 30 minutes have passed after in-
stalling, the message is no longer displayed.
If the message is not displayed, restart from step 5. In some cases,
no warning message is displayed and loading of the driver is per-
mitted. This happens:
•When a driver that has previously been allowed is reinstalled.
•When you are using a machine on which the driver was in-
stalled before updating to macOS Catalina (macOS 10.15)
Step 10
Change the settings to allow loading the driver:
•Click the lock icon at the lower left of the "Security & Privacy"
screen. You are prompted to enter the password for the ad-
ministrator account.
•Enter "User Name" and "Password," then click [ OK ].
Step 11
Make sure "Microchip Technology Inc." or “LAN7800App” is dis-
played as the developer and click [ Allow ]. If system software
from more than one developer is blocked from loading, clicking [
Allow ] displays a list of the developers.
Select "Microchip Technology Inc." and click [ OK ].
If a message prompting you to restart is displayed, click [ OK ]. Re-
starting is not necessary right now.
This completes installation of the driver.
Step 12: Checking the Installed Status of the Driver
When the Trulifi USB key is plugged and correctly installed, it will
appear into the network interface list of your Mac.
Open the network interface list. In "System Preferences", click
"Network".

see “LAN7801”. The button next to “LAN7801” can have 3 colours:
•Red: Trulifi USB key is not detected due to the following cases:
oUSB key is not correctly connected to your Mac
=> verify the USB key and the USB cable connection
oThe driver is not allowed to be loaded.
=> restart from step 8 and check if the message about be-
ing blocked has disappeared. If you don’t see any message,
restart the installation procedure from step 5.
•Orange: Trulifi USB key is running correctly on your Mac, but
no LiFi connection or internet connection is established.
=> verify your ethernet connection on your Trulifi Access
Point and check your internet setting
=> check the status LED on your Trulifi USB key (see section

USB key MAC address
The PC will recognize the USB key as an Ethernet interface
(network adaptor). The USB key has two MAC addresses, one for
the USB-to-Ethernet converter and one for the LiFi baseband. This
is depicted in the below schematic diagram.
MAC Address 1: This is the MAC address which the PC sees as
Ethernet Interface
MAC Address 2: This is the MAC address which the LiFi Access
point sees as Ethernet Interface
The MAC address is also printed on the USB-key. There may be
either 1 or 2 MAC-addresses printed on the USB key.
•In case 1 MAC address is printed on the USB key this will be
MAC address 1 (USB to Ethernet convertor).
•In case 2 MAC address are printed on the USB; MAC address
1 will be for the USB to Ethernet convertor and MAC address
2 will be for the LiFi Baseband.
4Advanced configuration
If necessary, use the Trulifi 6002 web configuration system to
configure specific operating parameters, for example to change
the LiFi encryption password or to update the firmware of the
devices.
Note: The web configuration system is designed for IT managers
and requires a basic understanding of LAN network configuration.
Factory default IP configuration
Out of the box the Trulifi 6002 Access Points and USB keys are pre-
configured with DHCP enabled. With DHCP enabled, the device
will automatically receive an IP address and subset mask. In

addition to this automatically assigned IP address, the Access
Point and USB key also have a static IP address, even when DHCP
is enabled. This can be helpful in case you are unable to retrieve
what address has been assigned by the DHCP server. The default
static IP address is:
•192.168.1.10 (6002Access Points)
•192.168.1.20 (6002 USB key)
The corresponding default subset mask is:
•255.255.255.0
In case your LAN network configuration uses different IP
configuration settings, you must temporarily apply the IP settings
described above to configure your Access Point and USB Key, and
switch back afterwards.
Once you have logged in to the web configuration system, the IP
settings can be changed, for example to apply a different static IP
address and subnet, or to enable dynamic addressing using DHCP.
These settings are described in section 4.7.2.
Logging in to the Web configuration system
To access the web configuration system, please open a standard
web browser and enter the correct IP address of the device.
Enter the Security password in the pop-up dialog. Default
password:
•Trulifi 6002.0 USB Key: trulifi%2019
•Trulifi 6002.1 USB Key: serial number printed on the back
side of the device
•Trulifi 6002.0 Access Point: trulifi%2019
•Trulifi 6002.1 and 6002.2 Access Point: serial number is
printed on the top cover of the device
Note: On the Trulifi 6002.0 USB Key this password is fixed. On the
Trulifi 6002.1 USB Key this password can be changed by the user in
the Settings tab.
After entering the password successfully, the main overview
window opens. On the left side of this window there are several
menu tabs to view and change system configuration parameters.
Note: For systems with Firmware v3.3.1 (or higher) the password
required to return the system (for Access Point and for USB key) to
the factory default settings is:
trulifi%2019
Device Information
The Device Information tab shows various static information about
the USB Key and the LiFi connection. The information in this tab
cannot be changed.
Optical Link Performance tab
The Optical Link Performance tab displays the MAC-address of the
devices connected as well as the optical link performance.
Security tab
The security tab allows to change the preconfigured LiFi
encryption password to restrict access to the LiFi network. Note
that the LiFi encryption password is independent from the
password to log in to the Web configuration system.
•The default password to access the Web UI for the Trulifi
6002.1 USB Key is the serial number which is printed on the
back of the device
•The default LiFi encryption password is: trulifi

Changing the LiFi encryption password
The LiFi encryption password must be identical on the Access
Point and all USB Keys. Any difference in the password will result
in a loss of LiFi connection between the Access Point and the USB
Key.
Change the LiFi encryption password of the Access Point
1. Disconnect your USB Key from your computer. Make sure that
your computer is connected to the Access Point via the Access
Point’s LAN connection (instead of the LiFi connection).
2. Use your web browser to open the web configuration system
of the Access Point. Log in using the correct password and
switch to the Security tab
3. Change the LiFi encryption password. Simply type a new
password into the “Password” field and click on “Change
password”.
Change the LiFi encryption password of the USB Key
4. Reconnect your USB Key. You will notice that the connection
between to Access Point will not be established because the
encryption passwords are different at this moment.
5. Ensure that your computer’s IP address configuration is
correctly set, as described in sections 4.1 and 4.4..
oNote that because you reconnected the USB Key, your
computer can no longer reach the DHCP server in your
network.
oIf you are using the factory default static IP address as
described in section 4.1, you may have to manually assign
a temporary static IP address 192.169.1.x (with x unequal
to 10 or 20) to your computer’s Wireless LAN adaptor and
set the subdomain to 255.255.255.0. (In Windows, go to
Control Panel, Network and Internet, Wi-Fi, Change
Adaptor options).
6. Open the web configuration system of the USB Key using your
web browser at correct IP address. Log in using the correct
password and switch to the Security tab
7. Change the LiFi encryption password. Use the same LiFi
encryption password as you have used for the Access Point
and click on “Change password”.
8. Restart the USB Key by disconnecting and reconnecting the
USB-C cable. The LiFi connection will now be established.
9. If you changed your computer’s IP configuration, don’t forget
to set it back to its original values. The green status LED on the
USB Key will remain ON.
