02:00
Speaker 1
00:00:02:14
03:00
Speaker 2
since yes sir yes yes that's the one that we have here ah okay so you're trying to set up again the VLP01 that you have? Okay usually sir for this one if you're going to reconfigure this uh the device is actually out of warranty and then uh we no longer supporting the unit the VLP01 I can only send you an email step by step guide on how you can do the reset and then how you can set it up again including with the other nodes that you have what have you tried so far
03:00
Speaker 1
Uh, I've tried resetting them. I don't know what colors the lights are supposed to be. Half the time it's blue. I'm trying to get it to be purple. I don't know. About 10 s. 30. OK. So right now I just plugged it into power and it's solid blue. Yes, it's connected to uh, yeah, through ethernet, yes.
04:00
Speaker 2
How long would you press, sir, the reset button? Well, the proper reset, sir, since you're going to reconfigure, this one, um it should take, uh 30 seconds. So, um once you start holding the reset, yes, once you start holding the reset button, you will notice that the LED light will blink red three times and then the light will go off. Wait for it to turn blue before you let go. Try that one first, sir, on the, um on the first node. It's solid blue. Is it connected to your modem from your internet service provider?
04:00
Speaker 1
It's a frontier. Yes. It's underscore Velop set up 13E. Okay, now it's blinking blue. But yes, I can't I can't I
05:00
Speaker 2
And who's your internet service provider by the way, sir? Do you see, sir, the default Wi-Fi name or do you see the Wi-Fi name of the one that is solid blue? What's the Wi-Fi name, sir? Uh 13e. Okay. So this one sir, the one that's showing as 13e. If it's solid blue, that means it's connected with, uh, it it connected with the internet. Can can you try to connect and then see if you have internet connection using that Wi-Fi name? Did you reset as well this one, sir? [silence]
05:00
Speaker 1
I think I reset it, I think, a little while ago.
06:00
Speaker 2
okay. but usually uh, yeah, if we're going to reconfigure this one, sir, you have to press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds and then if they're properly reset, usually for this type of model for the VLP 01, they usually won't turn to solid blue, uh, solid purple because due to their firmware, uh, usually they'll they'll come as like pink red or solid red, but as long as you're able to reset them within 30 seconds, then you should be able to set them up. okay. maybe you can try sir to okay. so maybe you can try to do one last reset sir on this one just to make sure.
06:00
Speaker 1
Well, I just started holding it. So I should look for three pulses of red, right? Okay. Okay. It's the light turned off, I'm still holding it. And now it's blue. Okay. Okay. Should I do that right now or should I wait? Oh, perfect. Okay. So I just plugged them both into power.
07:00
Speaker 2
Yes, and then the light will turn off. So there's going going to be no LED, but do not let go yet of the reset button. If the light turns off, wait for it to turn blue before you let go. Okay. All right, you can let go, sir. And then give it some time to recover like two to three minutes. So you have to do the same process on the other VLP 01 that you have. You can actually do that one right now, sir, while you're while we're waiting. So at least we can make sure that everything is properly reset.
07:00
Speaker 1
and I'm just gonna wait for the lights to turn red and then I can reset it okay okay well those are plugged into power I'm waiting for those the one that I did originally is now blinking blue. Okay. Yeah. Thank you for the help by the way I appreciate it. I've been sitting here for probably two hours now trying to figure it out. Uh yes I'm just waiting for those because I plugged in I'm just waiting for them to go to red like the first one did.
08:00
Speaker 2
Yeah. Give it like two minutes, sir, if you just plug in it to the power. Then you can proceed with the reset. Yeah. Okay, that means it's trying to recover now, sir. The one that you first reset. You're welcome, sir. And you're doing now, sir, the reset for the two nodes, right? The two chhone nodes?
08:00
Speaker 1
Uh, before they start blinking red? There we go. Now it's starting to blink red. Yep, it's blinking red now. Okay. And now the other one is doing the red so I'll reset both of these right now. Okay, so it turned blue. Now I can let go. And I will do the same for this one.
09:00
Speaker 2
But if they're blinking red, sir, um, you can actually begin with the reset. Uh, no, usually, once you plug them in, they will be blinking blue and then if this is actually a child node, then usually they will start blinking red. As long as it's two minutes. Uh, okay. You can actually reset that one, sir. Um, okay.
09:00
Speaker 1
Okay, now both of the other ones I just did the resets on, and they are both now blue. The original one is now a solid red. Okay.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Should I wait to do that before the other two nose are finished resetting? Or should I, am I good to do it now? Okay, all right. Well then those are, they shouldn't be too long because those have been sitting for a second here. Um should I have anything ready on my phone like looking for a Wi-Fi or anything like that?
11:00
Speaker 2
Don't need to hold the reset button, just press the reset button five times, so you have to do it not too fast, not too slow, just a minimum amount of speed. Usually, the interval is one press per one second, so do it five times. [silence] You can actually do the one serve. Once the other nodes are, once the other nodes has the same color with the parent node. [silence] Yes, if you're going to if you if if the five press if you are able to set up the parent node and then the child nodes using the five press, you have to connect to the if you want the change.
11:00
Speaker 1
I have that downloaded. Okay. Okay. Okay. They're already now. They're all the same color, the solid red. Okay. Okay. I just did it and now it started blinking red and then it's back to solid red. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
the Wi-Fi name, and then totally complete the set up. You have to download the Linksys app. But you need to connect your phone. Okay. You have to connect to the Wi-Fi of the parent node before you go through server the Linksys app. So the Linksys app will guide you for the set the total complete set up. And I can send you an email as well. Um, I can send you an email that that you can use here as a guide on the Linksys app and then the five press and then the web interface as well. Okay. All right. You can try now, sir, the five press. Okay. Let's give it some time, sir.
12:00
Speaker 1
okay. okay, should I do that with the other ones or just the parent mode? okay. [silence] okay. Well, that one's waiting. It shows up in my Wifies as well, just so you know. [applause] Yeah. [silence] okay.
13:00
Speaker 2
At least three minutes, usually it will take two to three minutes. [silence] Just the parent server. If the parent node is online, once it's solid blue, it will try to look automatically for the remaining nodes. [silence] Is it? [silence] okay. Yeah, it will show up users the three wifi names that you have for the child nodes as well, because you reset them, but just connect to the main wifi of the parent node and then once it's fully set up, once the child node has been added, you will no longer be able to see the two other wifi name. It should be on the parent node's wifi name only.
13:00
Speaker 1
For right now, just stay connected to, like, the house Wi-Fi, and don't mess with connecting to either of the or any of the nodes. Okay. Uh it's still
14:00
Speaker 2
correct. yes. As long as you see a change on the LED light of the parent node, once it's solid blue, that means that you can connect to the Wi-Fi of it because it will allow you you to complete the setup. How's the light so far? Can you try one more time Sir? Um, do it not too fast, not too slow either try to do it five times. Are you Okay, that means that it's trying to connect her with the um internet now, if it's blinking orange.
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. And I won't even have to touch those but they'll start blinking. Okay.
15:00
Speaker 2
So we'll have to wait another three minutes for the one. Once it's connected, it will turn solid blue, and then other nodes will start blinking also. Yes, no need, sir. You just need to wait if the LED light will change to the same color of the parent node.
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so the light's green now. Uh, yes. Uh, they're both, oh, well, actually one of them just started blinking. Red. Yes. Okay. Yeah, they're, they're both blinking now.
16:00
Speaker 2
solid green. Okay. And then how's the child node so far, Sir? Okay. All right. That means that it's trying to connect, so if they're blinking, so you have successfully connected the parent node, so it's either solid blue or solid green, so because of the firmware of the VLP01. So that means it's online. If it's solid green, then the other child nodes that you have, they should also be solid green once they're connected to the parent node. So you just need to complete the setup of the sketch. So that will take four to six minutes per child node to connect to the parent node. So
16:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Fair enough. Thank you. So now it's just once they're done I connect to the parent node and then I go through the app. Awesome. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yes that's right. Uh, Nathan.
17:00
Speaker 2
We'll just have to wait within the timeframe and then yeah, once they're all solid green, then connect to the Wi-Fi and then continue with the Linksys app. I'll send you the email because I cannot wait I cannot stay longer on the call if the device is actually end of service. So I'll just provide you all the step-by-step process to complete the setup, okay? Yeah. Okay. Yes, correct. So you can also change the you're welcome, sir. So you can also change the Wi-Fi name and the Wi-Fi password. I'm going to send it to toniholmes@aol.com. It's T-O-N-I-H-O-L-M-E-S@aol.com. Okay, and what's your name, sir? Nathan. Okay, thanks.
