Module Configuration
– Bluetooth Capability
No module configuration is required (i.e. no visibility timeout, pairing options etc.).
Programming
The Wi-Fi capability of the module can be programmed to support two distinct purposes:
•
Provide a wireless WAN connection to a router. This allows the AdvisorOne system to be located at a distance from an Internet
connected 802.11BGN router. Note: In order for the Wi-Fi module to interface to a router, the credentials of the wireless router
must be available (SSID, encryption key, etc.). For more information on how to program the Wi-Fi capability to interface to a
router, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).

must be available (SSID, encryption key, etc.). For more information on how to program the Wi-Fi capability to interface to a
router, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).
•
Provide wireless LAN/ Access Point of IP devices which the AdvisorOne system can utilize. This wireless LAN/Access Point is
independent from the home router network. The credentials of the wireless LAN provided by the Wi-Fi capability are hidden.
The Wi-Fi capability will support connection to Advisor Touchscreens over Wi-Fi and/or approved wireless IP cameras. For
more information on how to program the Wi-Fi capability to interface to a wireless IP device such as IP cameras or
touchscreens, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).

The Bluetooth capability of the module can be programmed to support key fob-like capability on a mobile device (Smartphone).
Note: The AdvisorSync Mobile software must be loaded onto the mobile device. For more information regarding loading
AdvisorSync Mobile, refer to the AdvisorSync Mobile Remote Installation Sheet (P/N 466-4424).

Troubleshooting
If
The Module Doesn’t Configure or Appear Operational
•
Verify the module is installed in the panel correctly, in the proper location and that the pins on the circuit board are aligned
properly with the header on the main circuit board.
properly with the header on the main circuit board.
•
If these steps fail, try replacing the module devices or contact Interlogix Technical Support.
•
If Wi-Fi is not operational for wireless WAN and a connection is not established, check the credentials for the router (i.e. verify
correct SSID is selected, and ensure the correct password/passphrase is used). Additionally, if range is too far, try reducing the
distance between the panel and router.
