3ACCESS POINT AND WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS
Once you turn on the controller for the rst time, you can proceed to its
further conguration. Being connected to the WiFi network emitted by the
device, in the control panel of the wBox application select the device, then go
to “Settings” (icon at the top-right corner of the screen).
You can change the name of the device that is displayed in the wBox
application. In addition, you can change the name and password of its
generated WiFi network. Remember that changing the network name or
password will disconnect the device immediately after you click the "Save"
button, so re-connect to the device using the newly assigned network name
and password.
You can add the controller to your home WiFi network to control it through
this home network or from anywhere in the World. To do this, in the "Connect"
settings section, select a network name from the list and press "Connect". If is
required, enter the WiFi network password. During the connection of the
controller to your home network, the phone / tablet may disconnected from
the network. In this case, you will need to reconnect your phone / tablet to the
controller network.
Please remember that in order to control the device outside the local WiFi
network, from anyplace in the World by using the wBox application, the
option "Remote access enabled" in the controller settings must be set to "Yes".
Once you've nished conguring the WiFi network, you can disconnect your
phone/tablet from the controller network and connect your mobile device
directly to your home WiFi network. The control from the wBox application
will work the same way as when the phone / tablet is connected to the
controller network. If the user leaves the local network, for example, leaving
home or using the mobile data, the wBox application will signal this state as
"Remote mode". In this case, the devices can be controlled, but for security
reasons settings are not available.
Go to "Settings" (icon in the upper right corner of the screen), go to the "Gate
settings" section and select the appropriate option in the "Gate type" eld.
Then, depending on your control panel, select the function of the second
(auxiliary) output. After saving the settings, go to the main panel by clicking
the arrow in the upper left corner. Test the controller work of by clicking the
gate / door icon - the control panel should force the motor to move.
In the "Gate settings" section, in the eld "Address (URL) of the MJPEG stream"
you can enter the URL stream of the camera IP which supervise the motor.
Download the free wBox application. If you have an Android mobile device,
you will nd the application in the Play Store. For iOS devices the application is
in the App Store.
By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless
network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet settings, then go to
setting of the WiFi network and nd the network name "gateBox-xxxxxxxxxx”
where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect to this network.
Turn on the wBox application. A device will appear at the top of the screen. To
add it to the application, click on "+" on the right side of the name. To pre-
congure the controller, click on the default device name.

You can also set the conguration using the web browser
of your phone / tablet. After connecting to the wireless
network of the controller, turn on the browser and go

The meaning states of the limits detected in the IN1 / IN2
inputs (it mean which of the IN1 or IN2 inputs indicates the
closed position and which the open position) can be
changed in the controller settings menu in the option
"Replace inputs".
The limit state is detected if there is a current owing
between the IN1 connectors and between the IN2 does
not. Analogously, the opposite state will be detected when
there is no current owing between the IN1 connectors,
and will ow between the IN2 connectors. Any other
conguration of the current ow is equivalent to the
motor position beyond the limit positions. Inputs IN1 and
IN2 have no specic polarity, they are galvanically isolated
from the rest of the controller. The range of allowable
voltages on the individual input pairs is 12 - 24V AC / DC.
Information advanced for installers regarding inputs,
when is connected to a motor control panel for which is
not available diagram.
After making sure that the device is connected in accordance with the
diagram and that there are no metal components near the controller which
may accidentally cause short-circuit, start the device by turning on the power
(turning on the mains fuse or connecting the power cord to the power outlet).
In case you need to make changes in the advanced controller settings,
click on "Show advanced" button. Will appear additional options.
In the "Gate output type" eld, the output behavior can be changed between
the normally open output (NO - when the output is not shorten) or normally
closed (NC - in other words the contact pair is shorten, opens when the user
presses the control button). It is also possible to adjust the duration of the
impulse in the output - between 0.1 sec. to 15 seconds - after a single press of
the control button. The option "Outputs swap" allows you to correct the order
of pairs of wires without switching them again, for example when the gate
control wire has been connected to the O2 output instead of under O1.
Go to the main panel by clicking the arrow in the upper left corner. If the
motor position sensor circuit has been connected, test the gate work - click on
the gate / door icon, the control panel should force the motor to move. Note
the blue border around the icon. If the motor is in an intermediate position,
the icon's border will be half blue and half gray. The limit position in the
"Open" state is indicated by a gray border and in the "Closed" state by a blue
border.
If you need to change the advanced settings of the controller associated with
the inputs, return to the controller settings, go to the "Gate settings" section
and then click the "Show advanced" button. Will appear additional options. If
despite the correct wiring, the controller can not detect the motors position,
is possible to change the detection method of the limit switches connected to
IN1 / IN2 inputs. If the state of the motor position is detected inversely, i.e. the
motor is physically in the closed position and the visualization indicates that it
is open, it means that the pairs of wires in the IN1 / IN2 inputs have been
changed, so the option should be changed in the eld "Inputs swap (IN1, IN2)"
to "Enabled".
