Speaker 1
Yes, hi, my name is uh Tina Belling and I am trying to connect a node.
04:00
Speaker 2
Hi, thank you for calling Lexus technical support. My name is Dylan. How can I help you today?
04:00
Speaker 1
To a child to a main node and the main node is a network connected to an email address that I no longer have access to. However, I spoke to one of your colleagues earlier and I believe she changed it. And we were trying to go through the whole cycle because I'm connecting a series 7 to a 5. And as soon as she said to disconnect or to reset the whole system, the main router, our phone call got disconnected, obviously, because it's Internet. So we got disconnected and I haven't been and I haven't been able to speak to anybody since. So that's where that's where we are now. That's where we are now.
05:00
Speaker 2
Mhm. Ahuh. Uh-hun. Hmm. Mhm. Yeah. Uh. I-see. So, uh, you just called in like, uh
05:00
Speaker 1
Yes, it was a while ago. Yes. Okay. Yes. Yeah, I tried to call you guys back also, and it just, I kept staying on the wait line. So, a I have no idea. Can I give you my phone number? Okay, so I'm, I'm currently in, I'm currently visiting in Belgium with my, my, my father-in-law. And, my, but I'm originally live in the United States, so my phone number is a US phone number. So that's what I'm calling with his phone number. Because otherwise it'd come in, it'd come in.
06:00
Speaker 2
awhile ago. All right, may have no problem. Um, let me check with the the previous technician. I see, um, I, I saw here a record under your name, Tina Bellings, and, uh, she did try to call you back, but as per her notes, it just keep on ringing. Uh, yeah, actually. Okay. Uh-huh.
06:00
Speaker 1
Okay. If you would call me back, I can give you a different phone number, just in case if we get disconnected again. Is that okay? Okay. It's my phone. Yeah, my phone number is 001 for the US. And it's 512-909-5748. [silence] I don't know. If you call me, do I pay as well? I don't know. Is it like... Okay, but if you have WhatsApp by any... if you have WhatsApp or anything like that, it's easy. Then I know it doesn't cost anything because it's over Internet. I didn't think so. Yeah, I didn't think so. I just thought I'd check. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Oh, sure, sure. No problem. yes. that's okay. Mm-hmm. All right. So, that's um, I don't think you need to pay for it, 'cause we are the one who's going to call you. So I I don't think uh it's gonna charge you. Yeah, but that unfortunately, ma'am, we are not using WhatsApp. Mm-hmm. No problem. [KEEP_UNCERTAIN] No problem, but anyway, uh, let me just review the previous, I mean the record here, under your name and the notes that was, um, notated by the previous extension. Okay? And I'll get back to you. At least, uh, I'll know. Um, oh, okay. um you um okay um yeah um it actually yeah there's actually like difference in the color or the the light indicator depending on the model so if you have the the latest one it has a white light indicator which means uh it's uh online and for the older model it shows uh blue turquoise teal color or green color like us hmm I see yeah it's uh it actually means it's online ma'am [silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
they're actually on. Okay. So I've got a question for you. So if I unplug them, because they're in like within like a foot of each other, right? They're really, they're all close to the main one. If I unplug one of them and plug it back in somewhere else, are they, is it still going to get, stray connected? Are they going to reconnect? Seriously. Oh my God. So did I actually fix it? Okay. Okay, so do I start with the closest one first and then work my way like outwards? Okay. Okay, okay. Oh my God. I'm going to go back. And oh, how do I check? Yeah? Yeah, go ahead. No, no, no, you, you, you talk. You talk. You talk. I'm sorry.
10:00
Speaker 2
If that's the case. Yes, they're online. Mhm, sure. Uh-uh. It should. Yeah, it will reconnect, it should reconnect. Mm-hm. We can, we can actually, we can actually try it. If you want, to double-check, you know. Yes. Uh-huh. Yeah, we can actually try. Yeah, we can actually try. I'm sorry.
10:00
Speaker 1
Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going to, so if I remove the seven or should I remove the fives first because they're all the same. the original, okay, so so the original node. Okay. So I yeah. Okay. So I the the the linkist nodes that I have are old, right? So they're an old model. The new one I just purchased and I was trying to link and that's why I originally called is the new model. And because I couldn't for some reason get them connected to each other. And that's why I called. and apparently I had a little bit more issues than I thought in your
11:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, we can try to remove one and then try to relocate it somewhere, as long as it's within 20 to, I mean, 30 to 50fi feet away from the other node. I'm sorry, I'm kinda confused about the the seven and the five that you're referring to. Mhm.
11:00
Speaker 1
A colleague, trying to help me worked with me. So I have a new model that I'm trying to hook it up to hook it up to an old model. So I'm asking if I take that new model first, And plug it in first and disconnected and plug it back in, should I try that one, or should I try one of the old models that were connected to it? Yeah, no, no, go ahead. No, one. I have, no, no. I have three old models in total. The main one. And two ones that were, and, another, one, but that in total I have three old ones, a main and two children. Now I added another child to it, but it's a new model. So I have three children.
12:00
Speaker 2
OK, just to make sure that I got it, right? I'm sorry, ma'am. Just to make sure I got it, right? With your newest model, you got two of it, right? The main one. Hmm.
12:00
Speaker 1
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So the two old ones are blue and the new one is white. Yes.
13:00
Speaker 2
So you got three old model and you got, you added the one new model, which is now showing solid white, I believe. Okay. All right. Mm-hmm. Okay, so the three old ones. Showing showcasing turquoise. And the new one is showing solid white. Right, right. All right, um, well, um, actually ma'am, for this kinda setup, it's quite unusual.
13:00
Speaker 1
Yes, I know. I know. I know. I understand. However, I am not, I'm not tech savvy enough to switch it all. I'm, usually this is my husband who does all this stuff. So now that I'm getting, that's why I'm asking because it's work, it seems to be working. Should I maybe not use the new one and just try with the old ones to get to reach our bedroom? Since they seem to be working again. So try with the old ones first and see if they work. Okay, okay, okay.
14:00
Speaker 2
Technically speaking. I'm not sure why the newer model should be the one that should I mean that should be set as the main router and the older nodes are supposed to be added as the child node. Yeah. But if it. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. I see. Um. Well, we can actually try it. Yes, yes. Try away the old ones first. [silence]
14:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so let me try one of them first. Hold on, let me. See I just unplug it, right? Okay. Okay, here goes nothing and I'm putting it in the kitchen, which is the middle point. Okay, this is exciting. One second. Okay, it's plugged back in, in the kitchen. And it's blue. It's flashing. [silence] Okay, if you
15:00
Speaker 2
uh huh, yes. Just unplug it. uh huh. uh huh. Mm Hmm. No problem. Let's give it some time. Oh, that's great, ma'am. It means that it's working. All right. So, um, I just wanna Um, yeah, it's actually a normal light pattern. So if it turns turquoise and turns back to solid red, it will eventually go back to turquoise, but let's see what will happen. Okay, that's good to hear, ma'am. All right. Uh, yes. Uh, we can try relocating the other ones. But, uh, just to let you know, ma'am. Um, for this kind of setup, are you on?
15:00
Speaker 1
Okay, so look, so, like I said, my, my. My husband usually does this stuff, right? Not me. He's the IT guy. Um, and he will be here visiting, again in, like, a month or two. And I think it might be best that he does all of that. Like, switches the children to the, you know, like, the new series to, yeah, instead of me if if I can just get it working for, like, the next week, I think that's all I need. Because I'm only going to be here for another week. [silence]
19:00
Speaker 2
If this is your topology or this will be your setup? because I just wanna... uh-huh. yeah because if we're going to step the new one into your main router, it will compromise your other other other nodes. So technically, we're going to reconfigure it reset all the nodes back to its default settings and then set it up again. So this will be your new setup. uh-huh.
19:00
Speaker 1
[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] I, I totally understand. However, like right now, what I'm going to try to do is take the other old one and put it, so I've got the main old one here in the living room. We just placed one in the kitchen and it's working. Now I'm going to take the third one and put it in the bedroom. If, if it works, I don't really need the new one. I will keep it Yeah, so I will keep. I will keep, yeah, I will keep the new one and then have him switch it when he comes with, you know, So that, yeah. Okay, so let me grab the sec, the last child, old child. And then, let me put that. Okay. Got it. Let's take the last old child. [silence]
20:00
Speaker 2
so it's why it yeah yeah yeah yes ma'am yeah I was just you know I was just letting you know cuz it would really take some time so we will proceed with this setup yeah sure no problem okay
20:00
Speaker 1
to the bedroom. Okay. Okay. let's see if I can get that in here. Uh, where do I plug that in? Okay. let's see. Oh. Oh. oh. that might not work. Sorry, just give me one second. I don't know.
21:00
Speaker 2
Sure, ma'am. No problem. Just take your time.
21:00
Speaker 1
Don't know if it's gonna be too far. Let me open a window. Yes, no, I'm just gunna, I just, no, I opened the window so I could see cuz it was dark in here.
22:00
Speaker 2
You don't have to worry about it, ma'am. As long as it's within 30 to 50 feet away, and okay. [silence]
22:00
Speaker 1
it's red it's blinking, um, it's red and it's blinking um known sounds O.K it's turquoise but I now it turned red yeah O it's turquoise it's turquoise Well, I don't need the other one. I don't need it. So I can unplug the new one and just not use it. until my husband comes and he can do the switching. So I will keep it and then he can do the switching. Oh my God. Oh my God. You have no idea. You have no idea how like illiterate in IT and all this crap I am. Seriously. I I'm so shocked. I know I had to call you for help, but still it worked. Oh my God. Thank you. I appreciate it so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you. You have a great day. Thanks. Okay. Okay. Bye!
