Ethernet Connection

  2. Power on the IoT Box.

  3. Read the Pairing Code from a screen or a receipt printer connected to the IoT Box.

  4. Input the Pairing Code and click on the Pair button.

Note

Recent changes in modern web browsers forced us to modify the connection wizard. If your screen is different from the screenshots, make sure that the iot_pairing module is installed.

WiFi Connection

  1. Power on the IoT Box

  2. Copy the token

  4. You will be redirected to the IoT Box Homepage (if it doesn’t work, connect to the IP address of the box). Give a name to your IoT Box (not required) and paste the token, then click on next.

    Tip

    If you are on Runbot, do not forget to add the -all or -base in the token (e.g. this token http://375228-saas-11-5-iot-f3f920.runbot16.odoo.com|4957098401 should become http://375228-saas-11-5-iot-f3f920-all.runbot16.odoo.com|4957098401).

  5. Choose the WiFi network you want to connect with (enter the password if there is one) and click on Submit. Wait a few seconds before being redirected to your database.
