Scan Discovery
The typical workflow demands that you use your Remote (Wand) in order to discover fixtures,
but there is another way to discover fixtures that we recommend you use only as a secondary, or
backup way to find any non-commissioned fixtures in the area. This function is simply called
“Scan” and can be found in your main toolbar panel.
By clicking the “Scan” button, the App will send a broadcast requesting the Unique ID numbers
of all Xi-Fi enabled fixtures in range. Those fixtures in range will send a response back to the App
and each confirmed fixture should show up in the discovery list as a fixture tile. The longer the
Scan is allowed to run, the more fixtures you are likely to discover, this is because the App will
send repeated ID request broadcasts for as long as the Scan is engaged, giving more fixtures the
opportunity to respond.
Advanced Scan Filters
Below the Scan button you will see two dropdown boxes.
The box on the left filters the discovery list by showing
either “All Fixtures” or just the fixture type of your
choosing. This can assist when trying to commission one
area in your site that has a predominant fixture type,
opposed to another.
The box on the right selects on which frequency channel
the App will scan, the default is set to only scan channel 1.
NOTE: Xi-Fi Remote (Wand) functionality is only possible
when the channel dropdown is set to 1. The frequency
channel filter provides 3 scanning options: All Channels,
Single Channel, or Range of Channels. All fixtures come
from the factory set to Channel 1, but if they were manually
adjusted at any point to another channel then you will have
to change these search parameters. Typically, you will not
have to be concerned with this. Call Xeleum for assistance.
