USER MANUAL
Introduction
The Trulifi 6013 PoE Blue Access Points and End Points provide a wireless LiFi connection between two points with speeds up to 250 Mbit/s and a maximum operating distance up to 8 meters. The device is equipped with a 100/1000 R45 Ethernet port to connect to the network. The device is powered using the same Ethernet port using PoE and is compliant with PoE standard IEEE 802.3af. The device can be connected directly to a PoE-enabled Ethernet switch or using a PoE injector.
2 Laser Class safety notice
The Trulifi 6013 PoE Blue complies with Laser Class 2 safety regulations.
Please observe the
corresponding safety notes. Laser Class 2 Safety notes

Application notice
The Trulifi 6013 is designed to offer a (temporary) data connection between
machines, devices, and/or network systems at a maximum distance of 8 meters in
an indoor application. The Trulifi 6013 is not designed for safety-critical
applications. A line of sight between two devices is necessary, therefore
blocking the line of sight will limit or cut connectivity.
Ambient temperature -10C to +40°C

4 Getting started
Make sure the Trulifi 6013 is correctly connected to your network switch and
powered using a PoE connection. The device should emit blue light. For the
first-time setup, you will have to use the web configuration system of the
Trulifi 6013. On Windows 10 systems:
1. Open the Setting window and select Network and Internet.
2. Select Ethernet or Wi-Fi, depending on how your computer is connected to
the network and select Change Adapter Options
The network adaptor of your computer needs to be configured to be in the same
IP subnet as your Trulifi 6013.
To do this, select the correct Ethernet or Wi-Fi adaptor and select Properties
using the right mouse button.
Select Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/1Pv4) and select Properties.
Assign an IP address to your computer and make sure that it is within the
correct network subnet that the Trulifi 6013 is also connected to (default 255
265 255.0) Check that the IP address of your computer is different from that
of the Trulifi 6013 (default. 192.168.1.70)
Close the window and save the configuration by clicking the OK tab.
Web Configuration system
You can use the Trulifi 6013 web configuration system to configure specific
operating parameters. To access the web configuration system. open a standard
web browser and enter the default system IP address 192.168.1.70 into the
navigation tab. In the Authentication, tab enters the Configuration/Security
password (default: admin) and click ok.
After entering the password, the main configuration window opens. On the left
side of this window, there are several menu tabs to view and change system
configuration parameters. 
5.1 Link Menu
Displays the MAC address, device ID, and Node Type. This menu allows you to
change the Domain Name and Node Type (Access_Point/Master, Client/End_Point,
default: Automatic). o establish an encrypted connection, please click the
PAIR button at one side of the link to be encrypted. You will be logged out of
the web browser and after logging in again, you will see a changed domain name
and an auto-generated pairing password. Now click PAIR at the opposite side,
and encryption will be enabled. This might take more than one attempt. To stop
communicating via the encrypted connection. please click UNPAIR. 
5.2 Link Performance Menu
The Link Performance menu reports connection status information and
corresponding transmit and receive throughput values.
If the device is programmed/auto-assigned to be a CLIENT/END_POINT, the device
ID, MAC address, and transmit/receive bandwidth of the associated ACCESS_POINT
is shown. If the device is programmed/auto-assigned to be an ACCESS_POINT, the
device IDs. MAC addresses and transmits/receive bandwidth of the associated
CLIENTS/END_POINTS are shown. Please verify this setting in the LINK MENU of
the web browser (see section 5.1). In case the Node type is set to “AUTO”, the
system configures these Node type settings automatically. 
5.3 IP
Menu
The IP menu allows you to change the following parameters of the Trulifi 6013:
- DHCP ON/OFF
- IP Address
- Subnet Mask
- Gateway IP Address
- DNS IP Address
5.4 Ethernet Menu
The Ethernet menu shows the status of the Ethernet Port and allows to
enable/disable power saving modes.
5.5
Multicast Menu
The Multicast menu allows for configuring Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping parameters.
5.6
QoS Menu
In the QoS menu, you can change the following Trulifi 6013 parameter
- QoS Criteria: 802.1p or custom
- Frame Type: Ethernet frame. 802.10. 802.1ad
- Packet Detection Method: 1Pv4 or custom
- Packet Classification/Type-of-Service ToS)
5.7 Advanced menu
The Advanced menu has provisions to perform a Hardware Reset and restore the
initial factory setting at the time of shipment. When using the factory reset
option, all system configuration settings will be lost. 
Installation
After the configuration of the Trulifi 6013 units is completed. the system is
ready to be installed. Note that ceiling mounts for the Trulifi 6013 are sold
separately.After attaching the device to the ceiling/wall, connect it to a
PoE-enabled 100/1000-Base-TX network switch port. When the device is powered,
the green power LED on the bottom panel is lit.
The final installation step is to align both Trulifi 6013 devices to establish
a connection. Please make sure that the center of the blue spot emitted from
one device is projected on the optical window of the other 6013 devices.
Repeat this step for the other device. When the units will start to
communicate if are aligned correctly and LINK ACTIVITY LED will start
blinking. The system is now ready to be used.
