1.
Connect the Smart Building Hub to Equipment
The Smart Building Hub (SBH) permanently connects to the
Verasys
TM
system using the 4-terminal System bus port. Wire
the system bus communications to the blue, 4-terminal
connector and plug it into the port.
Note:
If this device is at the end of a line, set the end of the
line switch to on.
Note:
The RJ-12 jack next to the 4-terminal block can be used
as a temporary connection to the System bus using the RJ-12
cable supplied with the SBH.
Figure 1: Connecting the SBH
a. Wire your cable to the supplied four-pin adapter as
illustrated.
b. Plug the Wi-Fi adapter that comes with the SBH into either
of the USB ports.
c. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to the building Ethernet
network as instructed by the building IT department. The
Ethernet must be plugged into the device if you choose the
(optional) Ethernet setup in step 6.
d. Connect power to the Smart Building Hub.
Once power is supplied to the SBH, the
WiFi AP
LED
flashes to indicate that the device is initializing. When the
Fault
LED turns off, the
WiFi AP
LED flashes, and the
RUN
LED is on, you can connect the SBH using the built-
in Wifi access point.

IMPORTANT: After you change the Wi-Fi passphrase or
SSID, the web server restarts and you must rejoin the SBH
Wi-Fi network using the new passphrase. On some mobile
devices, you must select and forget the original SBH Wi-Fi
network before rejoining the network with the new
passphrase. A laptop running Microsoft Windows is a device
that behaves this way.
