Default setting is to 4G modem as primary link to Internet. The LAN port supports standard Ethernet communication at 10/100Mbps and TCP/IP protocol. Standard unit is equipped with international simcard for mobile network access and does not require user interaction for linking the unit to internet. After unit is powered will automatically link to cellular network and connect to cloud. The LEDs on unit indicate current state. For wired connectivity the Hub supports a local LAN interface, standard set to DHCP IP setting and with ability link to cloud through any standard broadband router. IP settings can be modified in admin portal of Hub towards static IPv4 setting. IP settings (wired LAN connection) Default setting for IP connection of Hub is set to DHCP. There is a 4G over LAN fallback enabled. In case of usage inside a local network with firewall the following ports are required to be open to access the energybox cloud system:
Pairing of wireless Sensors (Dots) The Hub supports whitelist method of pairing of sensors to the Hub. Each wireless sensor is equipped with a global unique ID (UID) and once powered the sensor will seek for a Energybox Hub to transmit data to. The whitelist is a list of UID inside Hub which is the allowance list. Hub will only accept sensors transmitting data to Hub that are listed in whitelist. Once a sensor is transmitting data to Hub it is in paired mode causing the sensor to no longer seek for a Hub rather than transmitting data in regular configured interval. On admin portal of Hub is an overview of listed sensors in whitelist and status (paired / non-paired). To add a device to whitelist and pair with Hub activate the pairing mode on Hub. 12 Technical Documentation The green LED of pairing mode starts flashing and Dots that are not yet paired and seeking for Hub will pair to Hub accordingly. The flashing LED on dot indicates pairing seek and will be in off state once paired. ATTENTION: Do not start pairing mode on multiple Hubs simultaneously in same communication area next to each other as the pairing will be random by then. Clear Buffer Data The Hub provides Memory for storing measurement data up to 4 weeks in case of disconnect to host server. This data can be manually erased following the procedure:
Step 1: power off Hub Step 2: Hold RF link button Step 3: Power on Hub Step 4: RF link and cloud LED turn red, Status LED turn green Step 5: Keep pressing RF link button for 15s Step 6: Pairing and RF link LED turn green Step 7: Release button Reset RF setting During normal operation of Hub press and hold RF link button and pairing button for 5s. This will reset the RF settings. 13 Technical Documentation Admin Portal The Hub is providing an internal webserver allowing access to devices admin portal for manual configuration settings. To enter the admin portal attach the Hub to your network or computer with a wired LAN connection. Start an internet browser (preferred Chrome) and enter the Hubs IP address. You will be linked to the device admin portal. Credentials for login:

UUID Server Status Unique ID of Hub (same as MAC adress of LAN port) Host Server setting the Hub is connecting to Cloud link status (connected to Host server) Network Network type and carrier LTE RSSI Signal strength of RSSI on 4G/LTE LTE Signal quality of 4G/LTE connection Sim card Status of simcard Paired Sensors Number of paired Sensors to Hub 14 Technical Documentation Network page Ethernet setting applies between DHCP mode of operation or fixed IPv4 setting. Ports in use please see referring chapter in manual. Mobile setting applies the 4G/LTE setting. For Energybox simcard set to default. In case of instable 4G network a preference handling Mobile/LAN can be set. NTP servers are set to default NTP pool operation. In case of operating of unit inside intranetwork the settings can be modified. Cloud setting defaults to standard Energybox Host Server and can be modified for intranetwork operation. Sensors Current whitelist of sensors shows which UID of sensors will be accepted by Hub and their actual pair status. Unpaired sensors shows only sensors that are seeking for Hub to pair to. On admin portal can manually add those to whitelist. 15 Technical Documentation Setup Dot General The Energybox Dot Sensor lines supports two models:
Ambient Dot with internal temperature and humidity sensor Sensor Dot with external probe connector. 16 Technical Documentation Powering Dot The Dot can be battery powered or DC hard wired powered. Open top cover by turn counterclockwise and insert 2x AA batteries (non-rechargeable). For DC wiring connect a 5V
/ 200mA DC source to the terminal for powering and follow polarity mark. The wiring can be support from backside of dot through hole. Mounting Dot 17 Technical Documentation The dot comes with Velcro-tape for easy mounting on surface. Screw mounting is also provided and suitable screws are in accessory of Dot package. Connect the antenna to SMA jack of Dot. The Dot cannot operate properly without antenna connected. Connecting Sensor Probe The sensor connector supports probes from Energybox portfolio. The probe can be connected to Dot via sensor connector and will be recognized automatically. In case of probe requires powering the sensor port will provide this and no additional equipment is needed to operate the probe. Pairing Dot After first power up the Dot sensor will seek for Hub to pair with. The LED will be on green flashing (slow) and it needs to be made sure Hub in pairing mode is at near. A Hub with UID of Dot listed in whitelist will pair the Dot automatically. After pairing done the LED of Dot will be off state. Button / LED The Dot comes with one button and build in LED. LED COLOR Off SIGNAL STATUS Paired mode, normal operation Green flash (5s) Seeking pairing to Hub Green flash (0.2s) Pairing in process BUTTON PRESS SIGNAL STATUS Double click manual transmit of value, LED will flash up (6x) for proper transmission
(can be used for checking connection to Hub) 18 Technical Documentation Factory reset Dot To factory reset Dot and activate pairing mode again follow the procedure:
Step 1: Press and hold button of Dot Step 2: Power on Dot Step 3: Keep holding button for >15s Step 4: Ensure LED flash quick for 3s Step 5: Click button once within 3s Dimensions Dot 19 Technical Documentation Firmware update Hub provides functionality for firmware update on both internal operating system and wireless connected devices. To ensure synchronized proper operation the Hub will update wireless connected devices automatically to same firmware being installed on Hub. Whilst the firmware update process on Hub is being performed in less than 1 Minute the update via RF to wireless connected devices might take time depending on bandwidth available in air traffic and number of devices connected to Hub. During Hub firmware update the Center LED is green flashing. During Dot or any wireless connected device firmware update the RF LED is flashing green/red. On Dot device the LED is flashing green quickly. Firmware update from cloud For Firmware update on cloud follow online instruction. Firmware update manually For manual firmware update in admin portal:
1. Connect the Hub to the LAN. 2. Enter Hubs Admin portal 3. Goto Maintainance page 4. Enter Firmware update page and choose firmware-file from your computer 5. Wait until reboot of system Please note that the filename is case-sensitive. 20 Technical Documentation FCC Regulatory Information These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
