Initial Setup

After you have accessed the WebGUI (described here: Connecting to Web Interface), you can perform initial setup, if needed.

While you are in the Sensors page, and would like to perform initial setup, please head to the System page by clicking on the menu icon and choosing System.

By default, you will open the Status page, where you will be able to see the overall information about the base station.

Locate the Region menu, and set your preferred Language, Units, Time, and Data formats. To save the settings, click on the Save icon.

Navigate to the Time menu and set the time manually, synchronize with your PC, or NTP servers. Click the Save icon.

If you are connected to Aranet Cloud, then synchronization is enabled automatically to ensure the correct time of the base station.

Navigate to the Firmware menu to check for the latest FW available for update, or update it manually if needed.

It is highly advised to install the latest firmware for your Aranet Pro/Pro Plus base. Visit aranet.com/downloads/ to download the latest firmware version and upgrade your device if it has an older version firmware version installed.

Before you start pairing your sensors, it is recommended, but not necessary, to scan radio channels.

It is advised to scan radio channels for better availability before pairing the sensors because of possible interference from other devices using the same frequency range that might be installed near your location. Be patient, it is a long-lasting process and can take up to 3 hours. You can skip scanning by now and select any available channel, but this can lead to worse communication between sensors and Aranet Pro/Pro Plus base.

Keep in mind: you will have to repeat the pairing process for all sensors if you decide to change the radio channel.

Now you can leave the System menu and head to the Sensors menu for sensor pairing.
