Pairing Transmitters¶
The QuattroPod receiver can be paired with up to 32 transmitters simultaneously. The transmitters are paired with the supplied receiver by default. However, you can purchase additional transmitters or use transmitters with a different receiver. To do this, the transmitters must be paired with the corresponding receiver.
There are two ways to pair a transmitter with a receiver:
Connect the Transmitter to the Receiver¶
Connect the transmitter to the USB port on the receiver and the devices will pair automatically. Some find this option easiest if the receiver is easy to reach. If the receiver is mounted on the ceiling however or is simply difficult to reach you can pair via USB stick.
- Switch the transmitter to
PC
.
- Connect the transmitter to the USB port of the receiver and switch on the receiver.
The message "Pairing... " automatically appears on the QuattroPod`s landing page.
During pairing, the transmitter flashes red and the receiver flashes white.
After a few seconds the transmitter is paired with the QuattroPod. The receiver and transmitter light up white.
This is confirmed with "Pairing OK" on the landing page.
- The transmitter can now be used with the corresponding receiver. Finally, switch the transmitter to the desired mode:
Mobile
= smart devices,PC
= Windows/macOS and connect the transmitter to your enddevice.
Pair Transmitter via USB Stick¶
Download Pairing File via Web Interface¶
If the QuattroPod receiver is hard to reach physically you have the option of downloading a pairing file and copying the receiver`s information to the transmitter via USB stick. You can use FAT, FAT32, or NTFS as the file system of the USB stick.
- Either download the pairing file
pairingInfo.json
from the menu itemAdmin Settings
of the web interface.
- Copy the file to a USB stick. You do not need to delete any other files first. IMPORTANT: It is essential to save the pairing file at the root of the USB stick.
Download the Pairing File via Receiver¶
- Before mounting the receiver on the ceiling or even when the receiver is easily accessible, you can insert a USB stick into the USB port of the receiver and press the pairing button on the top of the receiver. After a few seconds, the pairing file is copied to the USB stick and the receiver`s pairing button lights up white. You can keep this file in your network or on the USB stick until pairing is needed.
