• If the SPEED button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without blinking to indicate that the appliance will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.
• Note: The change from the default network SSID “VORTICE_HRW” to a unique network SSID is mandatory in order to prevent interference between different devices belonging to different networks (for example, in the case of two independent flats separated by a wall, etc.).
• Note: you must have a smartphone or network detection device handy to view the names of theassigned networks.

To set the SSID in the case of two installed networks (for example two networks on two different floors) follow these steps:

1. Switch off the units that are not part of the network on which you want to operate (for example those on the upper floor if you want to set the network on the lower floor) them being assigned to the incorrect SSID.
2. Then, from the MASTER unit, assign the unique network identifier (SSID) by pressing the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence and then the SPEED button.
3. To set up another network (the upper floor in the example), you do not need to turn off the units of the other set up network as they already have a unique SSID.

To reset the mesh WiFi network (global / all network units) SSID:

• Press simultaneously the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons.
• Press the MODE – SPEED – FUNCTION – MODE – SPEED- FUNCTION buttons in sequence.
• Press the MODE button within 20 second

• If the MODE button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all speed LEDs 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without flashing, indicating that the machine will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.

To reset the WiFi mesh network (local / single unit on the network) SSID:

• Press simultaneously the SPEED – MODE – FUNCTION buttons on the SLAVE device.
• Press the MODE – MODE – SPEED – SPEED – MODE – MODE buttons in sequence.
• Press the SPEED button within 20 seconds
• All the SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will blink briefly to indicate that SSID = VORTICE_HRW (default) has been reset FOR THE SINGLE UNIT ONLY.
• If the SPEED button is not pressed within 20 seconds, all SPEED LEDs from 1 to 5 will light up for 1 second without blinking to indicate that the appliance will return to normal operation without resetting the network SSID.

MAC Address and SSID

• The MAC Address is assigned by the manufacturer of the WiFi module itself and it is unique.
• The last 4 hexadecimal digits of the MAC Address (UAA = Unique Address Assignment) of the master unit are used to generate the unique SSID of the network:
• VOR_XXXXXXXX (e.g. VOR_34F5E4E7)
• Each digit consists of two hex characters ranging from 0 to 255 (0x00-0xFF).
• The default SSID is instead VORTICE_HRW with default password = “12345678” which cannot be changed.
