SHORT DESCRIPTION
Signum IoT Gateway with direct Velbus connection. For full features, specs

COMPONENTS OF THE MODULE
- I / O USB 2.0: reserved for extensions
- LAN: Ethernet connection

- CAN bus terminator*
- RESET button (called DIS on some models): down in normal operation. Slide up to disconnect the module from the power supply (hardware reset).
- RMT (Remote): used for identification during the Quickstart and during a software reset.
- USB-B port: for USB connection with a PC, e.g. for the configuration software VelbusLink. (Not in use under normal circumstances, as all communication can pass over the LAN.)

- Rx and Tx leds: flicker when there is bus communication*
- BUS connector: connection with the Velbus bus cable (incl. power supply 15V +/- 3V DC)
See general Velbus Installation manual
CONNECTION
Connect the Signum to the Velbus installation via the BUS connector, and to
the local network via the LAN connector. For managed networks: make sure your
firewall accepts outgoing traffic on port 123 (NTP). (For most home users this
should be the case by default.)
Wait until the RUN led is continuously on, and the ACT led shows a heartbeat
(2 blinks, off, etc.). This can take up to 3 minutes during startup.
Open VelbusLink and give the VMBSIG a valid address. You can connect via a USB cable (using the USB-B port at the front), or via LAN with the option “Connect via Signum” in VelbusLink.
QUICKSTART
On mobile devices: install the Velbus Signum app via the Google Play Store or
the Apple App Store.
On PC: surf to the Signum’s IP address in a browser (latest version of Edge,
Chrome, Firefox or Safari). You can find the IP address in VelbusLink via the
Connect button > “Connect with Signum”.
Now follow the directions in the app or browser. The Signum will automatically
scan the Velbus installation and create a working dashboard.
PORT FORWARDING AND DDNS
You can find all necessary information about port forwarding and DDNS in the
Signum application > Configuration > Settings > Network Settings.
RUN LED
