Step 3 - NETWORK CONNECTIONS
Ethernet Connection
The fuel manager device is capable of connecting to a network via its Ethernet Port,
WiFi, or both. The device defaults to using the ethernet port and uses WiFi as backup if
both are connected.
On power up, the device will search for and try to connect to an available network over
the Ethernet port. If there is no connection, the device will try to connect to a saved
WiFi network. If there is no saved WiFi network OR the device is unable to connect to
the saved WiFi network, it will go into Setup Mode (Blinking Blue) allowing the user to
enter new WiFi Credentials.
1) Plug an Ethernet cable into an appropriate LAN port on your network.
2) Plug the opposite end into the Fuel Manager device.
3) The status LED should briefly blink green as it is connecting.
4) Connectivity to the internet will be verified by the status LED fading either yellow
or cyan. See Status Light Key.
WiFi Connection
1) Put Device In Setup Mode
Setup Mode is a state where the Fuel Manager device hosts its own WiFi
network named “Fuel Setup” to allow a wifi device such as a smartphone or
computer to connect to it and configure local WiFi settings and is indicated by a
blinking blue LED.
On powerup, the Fuel Manager device will enter Setup Mode if it does not have
previously saved WiFi and if it is not connected via the Ethernet Port.
If the device already has an internet connection via the Ethernet port or WiFi, the
device will not go into Setup Mode unless the Mode button is pressed.
Press and hold the mode button for 2 seconds to force the device into Setup
Mode if needed. Verify Setup Mode with the blinking blue light.
