APAK®LED, BUTTON, ALARM, AND Z CONTROL®BEHAVIORS
*AP Mode is when the APak® is broadcasting its “name”, or SSID. The SSID is in the format ZCTL_APAK_xxxx where “xxxx” is the rst 4 digits of your APak®’s
Device ID. The APak’®s SSID will show up in your phone/tablet/computer’s list of available Wi-Fi®, and selecting it will give you direct connectivity to the APak®.
This is required in order to give your APak®the password credentials needed to connect to the Wi-Fi®of your choice.
