Installation

Follow these steps to install the LANKIT:

1. Connect the LANKIT adapter to the back of the ICC2 controller using the included network cable.
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to your internet access point.
3. Connect the power source to the LANKIT adapter.
4. CAUTION: Do not plug the black, shorter network cable into the controller’s ribbon cable adapter. This will permanently damage the LANKIT.
5. Once all cables are plugged in and power is restored to the controller, the LANKIT will immediately begin searching for yourinternet access point. While the LANKIT is attempting to connect, the LEDs will initially blink multiple times, and then the leftmost LED will remain solid red while searching for your network.

• Turn off the AC power to the controller.
• Disconnect the ribbon cable from the power module in the upper left side of the controller.
• Plug the LANKIT adapter into the power module.
• Plug the ribbon cable from the facepack into the adapter.
• Remove the knockout (for plastic enclosures) or rubber plug (for metal enclosures) on the lower right side of the controller cabinet.
• Route the LANKIT cables through the opening and through the included plastic nut on the inside of the controller. Secure the LANKIT in place with the nut (finger-tighten only).
• Connect the gray data cable from the LANKIT to the ribbon cable adapter.
• The individual red and black wires are not used at this time. Simply fold them out of the way.
• Route an Ethernet cable from your router into your ICC2 controller. You can use any open knockouts on the bottom of the controller to get the cable into the cabinet. Using the supplied female x female Ethernet cable adapter, connect the cable from your router to the black cable coming from the LANKIT.
• Restore power to the controller and verify that a light appears on the LANKIT.

CAUTION Never plug the black, shorter network cable into the controller’s ribbon cable adapter. This will permanently damage the LANKIT.

Setting Up Communications

Follow these steps to set up communications:

1. Verify that the LANKIT has successfully connected to both your internet network and the Centralus server by comparing your display to the sample views on the screen.
2. Once all cables are plugged in and power is restored to the controller, the LANKIT will immediately begin searching for your internet access point. While the LANKIT is attempting to connect, the LEDs will initially blink multiple times, and then the leftmost LED will remain solid red while searching for your network.
3. To verify if your LANKIT has successfully connected to both your internet network and the Centralus server, compare your display to the sample views on the screen.

Troubleshooting the Connection
If you are having trouble connecting your LANKIT, refer to the troubleshooting section in the user manual or contact customersupport for further assistance.

• If the first two LEDs are solid green, the attempt was successful. The LANKIT is now connected to both the router and the Centralus server. Proceed to Software Setup.
• If the first light remains solid red after an extended period (up to two minutes), the connection attempt was unsuccessful.
  • Cycle power to the LANKIT and retry the connection.
  • Double-check that the router is operating properly. Reset the router if necessary.
• If the first light turns green, but the second light is red, the LANKIT was able to connect to the router, but not to the Centralus server.
  • Check the internet connection from the router and retry.

PRODUCT SOFTWARE SETUP

Follow these steps to set up the software:

1. Go to http://centralus.hunterindustries.com and log in using your Hunter SSO email and password.
2. Click the menu icon at the top left of the screen and select “Add Controller”.
3. Enter a name for your controller and the LANKIT serial number (located on the spine of the LANKIT) and click “Next”. Do not enter dashes in the serial number.
4. Enter the controller address and select the correct Google Maps address from the drop-down menu. Click “Next”.
5. For security purposes, rotate the controller dial to a random position when prompted and click “Next”.
6. If the software sees that you have selected the correct dial position, it will instruct you to return the dial to the Run position. Turn the dial position to Run and then click “Next”. If verification fails, the software will select a new dial position and ask you to turn to that position. This step must be completed before finalizing the controller setup.
7. After successful controller setup, click “Continue” to begin programming your controller.
8. Navigate to the Controller List tab from the menu icon and select your new controller.
9. You may be prompted to update your firmware when first connecting. Click “Update Firmware” to automatically obtain the latest controller operating system. This process will take approximately 11 minutes with a good connection.
