NOTE
DHCP is disabled when the unit leaves Provisioning Mode.
Make sure that the Fluidmesh 1200 VOLO is connected to a local network
that supports DHCP. If the unit connects successfully to the internet and to
the Partners Portal, the RACER™ Cloud connection info Status will be
shown as Connected (Figure 18 (page 52)).
Figure 18. RACER™ Cloud connection info status (Connected)
Configure the unit using either of the following methods:
• To do a centralized (online) configuration of the unit using the
RACER interface, refer to the Fluidmesh Networks RACER User
Manual.
• To do a local (offline) configuration using the Configurator interface,
refer to “Device configuration using the configurator interface” (page
44).
If the unit is not able to connect to the internet:
• The unit will revert to a Fallback state.
• The unit’s Status and link/boot LEDs will blink continuously from the
outer red and green to the inner green and orange. The LEDs will
repeat this cycle until the unit exits the Fallback state, or is set as
either Online or Offline.
• The unit’s IP address will automatically be set to 192.168.0.10/24.
If the unit connects to the internet in Provisioning Mode, but cannot
connect to the Partners Portal, the unit’s IP address will automatically be
set to 192.168.0.10/24. If the unit cannot connect to the Partners Portal,
verify that the Partners Portal can be reached by doing the following
steps:
1. Check that the Ethernet cable leading to the unit is properly
connected.
2. Check that the local DNS server can resolve this address.
3. Check that the local DNS server can resolve the IP address of
the RACER Cloud server, and that the address can be reached.
