Speaker 1
MX 2000 and I I purchased a second one and I'm trying to pair it for mesh Wi-Fi and everything I tried, it will not pair with the with the parent, the child won't pair with the parent node. Um, the parent or the child or both. So the parent serial number is uh 50 Delta 10 Mike 2 Bravo Delta 078777. And the child node is 50 Delta 10 Mike 27 Charlie 12042.
01:00
Speaker 1
Blinking. At the current moment, it's blinking blue. Oh, actually, it just changed to blinking red as I said that. Uh, which button? The reset button? All right. Chalta hu, okay.
02:00
Speaker 2
Certainly. All right. What is the color of the light on the child node right now? Can you press to. Hold it and. Press and hold it for 30 seconds. Yes, salt node only. [silence]
02:00
Speaker 1
I have spectrum right now. But the internet is working fine. I just, like, it's, I just cannot pair the second node. All right. So I held it down for 30 seconds and around like 25 seconds the light came on blue and now it's blinking blue. Okay. Uh, yes. Um, my email is C H R I S S A N T I 8787@ gmail.com. [silence] Yep. It's still blinking blue on the child and the parent is still solid blue. Okay. Yeah, I tried a few ways so far. I tried doing it like through the app and doing the little setup process and it would just like hang on the screen saying connecting and I sat on that screen for like five, it's like oh, it should only take four to six minutes and I sat there for like 15 minutes and nothing happened. So I tried to-- oh, okay. It just turned magenta. Yes. Yes.
03:00
Speaker 2
christalisantis 8787 at gmail.com. [silence] Tell me the color of the light now. [silence] When you see the solid magenta or pink on the child node, tell me.
04:00
Speaker 1
[silence] just one per one uh one per second, okay. Right one, two, three, four, five. Okay. All right. Yeah, now it's yeah, it's blinking white now. [silence] Yeah, so just the parent and the new child. So just two total. Oh, and now it's uh blue. on the parent. Yeah, so I had I had one original node that was just for the whole house.
05:00
Speaker 2
other node. And then press the reset button five times and one press per second. Do not. Do not hold. Press and release. One press per second. did it react? Okay, good. How many child nodes total do you have right now? Three, two? You have one, the new one, plus the old ones? Got it then.
05:00
Speaker 1
I have the LIS Ice Laces house, and then I got a second one that I wanna link and it's the same model and everything. Um, but yeah, so the parent is now a solid blue and the child is a blinking red. [silence] I do have the LIS Ice Laces app. Yeah. Yeah. I tried doing it in the app a few times, it didn't work. I found some things online with the buttons and I couldn't get that either. So... so I'll try in this time calling this time. All right, I'm opening the app now. Uh... Yeah.
06:00
Speaker 2
Wait, [silence] did you install the Linguist app? [silence] Can you open the Linguist app? [silence] It didn't work. [silence] Only one node, right? [silence] The mother node.
06:00
Speaker 1
Oh yeah only one node. Okay. Yep. Add another node. All right but and it's okay that It's okay that the child is blinking red. Okay. All right uh extend my uh Wi-Fi to a new child node. And then next can you All right. Looking for the child node. Uh it said we didn't find any nodes try again or troubleshoot. Oh and then as soon as that happened the child node turned blue and as I was explained
07:00
Speaker 2
On the upper left side of the screen, the three bars, click that one, and then scroll down towards the end. Set up a new product. Then continue, continue. Yep. Yeah, it's okay. Uh-huh. Ah, okay. I see. Uh-huh.
07:00
Speaker 1
Explaining that the dotted solid red and now it's blue again. Okay. Okay. Okay I'm gonna open it again on both are solid blue right now. All right it says okay but so I open yeah no so I open the app and it says ready to complete setup should I say complete or I don't want to continue all right.
08:00
Speaker 2
All right. Close Siemens app. Wait six seconds and then open it again. Wait around two to three minutes. Did it show up? No. Yeah. Yes, completed the setup.
08:00
Speaker 1
um, uninstalled the app. Okay. All right Uh, do you want me to reinstall it? [silence] Uninstall it? Okay. Do you want me to reinstall it? [silence] We lost you as a quick fix. Um, could you try maybe reinstalling? [silence] Did you do that?
09:00
Speaker 2
What do you see in the screen now? Can you uninstall the link systSM? Close it. It's a wall. Yes.
09:00
Speaker 1
Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. All right. So I I opened the app. It says manage your Wi-Fi or set up a new. What network? To manage Wi-Fi. All right. And use a router password. Yeah. All right. It says create your router. Use this when not connected. Start. And ask me enter the recovery key. Jimmy acknowledges. One of four. All right? All right, so wants me to make a new password. Um
10:00
Speaker 2
When you log into the router, to the Lexs app, do not use the route, to the Lexs app, do not use the email address, instead try to login using the router password. We have troubles on the email address right now. And that's why you can see the looping or spinning wheel. Manage, manage. If it ask for an email, router password. That one. Okay. Good. Yeah.
10:00
Speaker 1
is this a new password for the home network or for my dis account? okay. okay. I
11:00
Speaker 2
10 characters for your whole network, not for the Wi-Fi, but for the router only, for the administrator account.
11:00
Speaker 1
right. I can't have that. Okay. Oh, to know. All right. All right. So I have the parent node and the child one. So you said click on the child one. Uh the signal strength is negative 9dbM.
12:00
Speaker 2
Okay, open the nodes and then click a child node. It will tell you where it is reporting to or connected to and the signal strength. Okay. Tell me the value of the signal strength. Yes, please. Negative. Okay. The value that you need to maintain is
12:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Um wait. What'd you say the uh the cutoff range would be? Oh, okay. All right. Uh huh. Okay. I, I think I'm just waiting for it to boot up and everything. So, the, yeah, the blinking. The problem was, uh, it was just the email, I guess. I was, like, doing it through the email instead of through the, the router, I guess. Uh, Mhm. Mhm.
13:00
Speaker 2
Solid blue. Mm-hmm. Take a look. uhh... I did it on a short that way, the pipe breasts. We usually don't advise that one because it will create troubles. And then we usually don't announce out there's a shorter way that pipe breasts. Now, if you encounter this kind of problem, you do the same, you bring the child near the mother node, takes the reset, hold it for 30 seconds. Once you see the pink light, solid, do the pipe breasts. The pipe breasts will, the mother will initiate the connection by itself.
15:00
Speaker 1
[silence] Okay. [silence] All right. Yeah, I think I saw that online, but I think I misread it. I thought it was like, five times within a second, instead of five times every second, so when I tried that one, that didn't work for me either. Um, all right. So it was just blue and then it just switched to red and then it just switched to blue again, but it still says offline. Um, okay. Uh.
16:00
Speaker 2
And you don't have to do anything. That's it. That's okay. Not too fast. One press per second, so five press within five seconds. I think you're good, but let's see what is the RSSI or signal strength in that location? yeah, yeah. That's okay, it takes time. Now the reason for that white it turns to red is it's trying to simulate disconnection. When it tries to red, it disconnects itself and the monitor would should initiate, try to look for the child and that's how it works for [silence]. Hello. Hello.
16:00
Speaker 1
okay mm-hmm oh okay mm-hmm okay so if i would yes it just turned solid blue again i have negative 60 dBm so if I want to I don't know try try a new spot or something mess around with it, would I have to bring it back and do that process every time or can I just you know that it's paired so that I can unplug it and try the new thing again? oh. All right, perfect. Thank you so much. Um, I guess just like, uh, one quick well one quick question. um, so when it comes to like IP addresses and everything, does the child node does have a separate IP?
17:00
Speaker 2
bus. all right. no no just just move unplug place it on the new location wait until it become blue and then check the app or the location is negative 65 That's good. something like that. this is the only way you can test that's the only thing. the only thing that you need to bring it to the mother node is when it becomes red meaning it was not able to stabilize the connection. That's all right then anything else? go ahead go ahead. mm-hmm
18:00
Speaker 1
Correct? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. No, no, no, that's fine. Just this is more of a curiosity for me.
19:00
Speaker 2
Yes, but you will not be able to see it because it's hidden. And then it will treat the child as a mother node. If you want to access the child node, you will see it as 192.168.1.1. But if you dig down, link is not on the phone it's on the device, you will see specifically what is the IP address of the child node. And then when you open the browser, they sit there, then you can see, oh these are our things. If we do that one, for example, we need to do firmware manually on the child node, we dig in that. But on the app it will not show it's hidden. But on the computer, I can show you if you want, if you need it.
19:00
Speaker 1
And so if I were to hardwire anything on ethernet to the child node I mean I would assume I I'd still set the gateway to the 192.168.1.1 still right? Um okay cool. All right perfect. Well, thank you so much for all right. Thanks so much. Have a good day. Right.
20:00
Speaker 2
yes yes because it will look The the child node will act like a one that one or or a gateway right and Chris enjoy and thanks for welcoming my name is Nathan it was my pleasure talking to you and good evening bye for now you too bye bye
