Configuring an IQ
Both IQ’s (1.0 & 2.0) need to be activated within the SALTO KS web app before adding the IQ to the Site. The IQ 2.0 can connect to the internet in more than one way, instead of just the 2G-connection that IQ 1.0 offers. These connection interfaces can be configured and ordered from the SALTO KS web application, before adding the IQ to a site via the web-app.
Before configuring a new IQ, make sure:
