This article provides general instructions on how to connect to Brain server and setup a Smartspot for the first time.

Power options

A Smartspot can be powered using PoE or a 12VDC wall adapter. If using PoE make sure your switch supports PoE or use a PoE injector which is capable to supply at least 12 Watt.

Setup connectivity

Connect the Smartspot to internet using an Ethernet cable (not provided) to your router or switch as shown in the image below.

Default a Smartspot will sound a three-tone beep to indicate startup. It takes about 10 seconds for the Smartspot to fully boot and connect to the internet. If successful, the Smartspot might try to update firmware and/or retrieve scheduled setting configurations from Intellifi Dashboard. During this process, the Smartspot might reboot a couple of times.

Locate Smartspot in your Brain Server

Open a web browser and enter your Brain URL. Login using the supplied credentials. After completing the firmware upgrade and retrieving scheduled configurations, the Smartspot will show up in the list with Spots. While doing so a notification may appear in the top of your browser screen.

When a new Smartspot connects to Brain Server, a new location (if not existing) is created and assigned to your Smartspot. The naming of the newly created location is spot<serial number>. You may change this name in the Location Editor which can be found under menu Apps.

First presences

Open Live Presences in your browser. This page shows all detections in Brain Server. For a Smartspot with RFID, hold a RFID tag in front of the antenna, For a Smartspot with BLE, an active BLE tag should be near the Smartspot. Detections are shown based on assigned location.

Note: Tags may be in range of multiple Smartspot readers. Therefore multiple detections may appears, though for different locations.
