Step 2: Completing the Initial Construction Grouping
Once the device installation and electrical connections are confirmed, use the following steps to complete the initial construction grouping.
The construction grouping process pairs devices with the Wireless Area Controller, forms one large default control group for basic operation
during construction, and prepares devices for configuration from the WaveLinx Mobile Application.
1: On the site floorplan, locate the WaveLinx Wireless Area Controller and identify the WaveLinx devices that should be paired to it. Sites
designed to use multiple Wireless Area Controllers should identify the devices that belong to each controller so that they can be correctly
paired with the appropriate Wireless Area Controller according to the design plan.
2: Identify the circuit breakers supplying power to each of the WaveLinx devices that will be paired with the first Wireless Area Controller.
This includes circuits that power fixtures with WaveLinx Integrated Sensors, fixtures connected to WaveLinx Tilemount Sensors, fixtures with
Wireless Outdoor Lighting Control Modules, lighting connected to WaveLinx wireless Dimming Switchpacks as well as circuits connected to
WaveLinx Receptacles and Wallstations.

Mobile Application Basic Familiarity
Before proceeding to the next step, become familiar with the basics of the WaveLinx Mobile Application. This section describes the
terminology, icons, and basic navigation used in the mobile application.
Areas
Construction grouping automatically places all paired devices into a default construction area.
Default area
Each Wireless Area Controller allows the creation of up to 15 areas plus the default construction area. Think of an area as a room within the
facility. Typically each area will operate separately from other areas defined in the space. Select any area defined in the application to view
the devices located in the area and their associated configurations/programming.

Zones
In any area, controlled loads are organized into zones. A zone is a “group” of one or more lights, receptacles or other loads that are to be
controlled together in the exact same way. The WaveLinx Mobile Application creates three zones by default. Zone 1 and 2 are automatically
created for dimmable lighting devices. Zone 3 is automatically created for switched receptacle devices. Up to 16 total zones may be used in
each area to meet application needs.
Default zones 1, 2 & 3

Automatic Code Commissioning Operation
Once devices are assigned to their appropriate areas and zones, the automatic code commissioning programming will begin operating.
•
All occupancy sensors, both integrated fixture mounted sensors and battery powered ceiling sensors, are grouped to control all loads
assigned to the default zones in the area (zones that have been manually added may require assignment to the occupancy set).
•
Upon receiving an occupied signal from any sensor in the group, lighting will turn ON automatically to a 50% light level and controlled
receptacles will turn ON.
•
Lighting and receptacles will turn OFF automatically after 20 minutes of vacancy (all sensors in the group must “sense” vacancy for 20
minutes).
•
Individual fixtures with integrated or tilemount sensors will begin closed loop daylight dimming operation to a reasonable light level. If a
specific light level (target) is expected at the surface, then calibration is required. Note that daylighting filters the fixture's response to
other control commands. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy sensor to go to 100% will adjust the electric light level
output to meet the originally calibrated daylight level. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy sensor to go to 50% will adjust
the electric light level to meet 50% of the originally calibrated daylight level. The actual electric light level output with these commands
will vary and adjust based on the available amount of daylight in the space and how much electric light needs to be contributed to
maintain the commanded target.
•
Open loop daylighting will not operate until configured within the mobile application. This includes battery powered ceiling sensors and
wireless outdoor lighting control modules.
•
Wallstations will operate the controlled lighting and receptacle zones in their assigned area according to their default button configuration.
See the standard wallstation configuration information on page 48 and the battery powered wallstation configuration information on page
49 for details on the default button commands.
•
All scene commands will default to the following light levels:
SceneDimmable Light Zone ResponseOn/Off Zone ResponseReceptacle Response
Scene 00%OFF (0%)OFF
Scene 1100%ON (100%)ON
Scene 270%ON (100%)ON

Scene 430%ON (100%)ON
Scene 510%ON (100%)ON
Scene 61%ON (100%)ON
Scenes 7 through 150%OFF (0%)OFF
•
Demand Response behavior is assigned to all dimmable lighting zones. By default, if a demand response signal or test is received, all
dimmable loads will reduce by 20% light output. Non dimmable and receptacle zones are automatically exempted from demand response
and will not be affected with demand response signals.

Modifying Zone Response
Zone response may be modified by changing the default maximum and minimum levels (high and low end trims) and by modifying the
operational mode default First ON/Last OFF behavior.
Modifying Minimum and Maximum Levels (High and Low End Trims)
The mobile application’s minimum and maximum level settings combined with the fixture’s native driver or ballast range determines the
total dimming capability of the luminaire. If minimum and maximum levels (trims) are set for a zone, dimming commands to the zone will
not be able raise or lower the level beyond the levels defined. This is often referred to as setting minimum and maximum levels or setting a
high end or low end trim. Commands to the affected zone that are above the maximum level or below the minimum level will result in the
zone remaining at or going to the level defined (Exception: zones will still turn off when commanded to 0% regardless of the minimum level
defined).
Typically, trims are used either to save energy or to provide a desired aesthetic. Lowering the maximum level (high end trim) can result in
energy savings. Raising the minimum level (low end trim), while not typical, can help match dissimilar fixtures to the same cutoff level. For
instance, if there is a mixture of fixtures in the same space, some with integrated sensors and others that are 0-10V loads controlled with
WaveLinx wireless Dimming Switchpacks, the fixtures may dim to different minimum levels. The driver in the fixtures with integrated sensors
may support dimming down to a 1% level while the 0-10V load driver may support dimming down to a 5% level. In this instance, the
minimum level (low end trim) for the 1% fixtures can be raised to more closely match the cutoff to that of the 5% fixtures. In order to make
this adjustment, the integrated fixtures would need to be assigned to a different zone than the 0-10V fixtures.
By default, the WaveLinx system starts with all dimmable zones set to a minimum level of 0% and a maximum level of 90%. These settings
may be changed at any time by the administrator user.
To modify minimum and maximum levels for all fixtures in the zone:

ote:NIt is possible to assign a dimmable fixture to a non-dimmable zone to allow it to act like a switched load. In this instance, a maximum level may be set
to set a high end trim. The dimmable fixture will turn ON to the defined maximum level when commanded to any level of 1% or higher when left in the default
First On/Last Off operation mode.
Modifying Zone Operational Mode
It is rare to adjust the zone operation mode from the First On/Last Off behavior default. This feature might be used in locations where
dimming fixtures and non-dimming (switched) loads are in the same space and need to operate together in the same lighting zone. In this
circumstance, the operational mode setting determines how the switched and dimmed load should operate. For instance, if a dimmable
zone has a switched load assigned to it as well as dimmable loads, it may be desirable to have the switched load turn OFF when starting to
dim the dimmable loads. This prevents the switched load from continuing to be ON full bright while other loads in the zone are dimming. It
may also be desirable to have the switched load turn ON last so that dimmable loads in the zone can fade gradually to the chosen light level
before the switched loads turn ON. This type of modification is done by adjusting the default operational mode First ON/Last OFF behavior.
(Note that adjustment of the operational mode affects only the switched load assigned to the dimmable zone. The dimmable loads in the
zone will not be affected by the change in operation mode.)
To modify the default operational mode:
Before beginning, assign the switched load to the same zone as the dimmed lighting that it needs to operate with.
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.

Copying Wallstation Programming to Other Wallstations
In many applications, wallstations within the same room may perform the same functions. In addition, wallstations in other rooms may have
the same behavior. The mobile application makes it easy to copy customized wallstation programming to other wallstations. In order to copy
wallstation programming, the wallstations must be the same type and have the same faceplate configuration, i.e. if the original wallstation
is a standard line voltage powered 4 small button with raise/lower, then the destination wallstation must be a standard line voltage powered
4 small button with raise/lower. In addition, if the wallstation is issuing commands to specific zones, the quantity of zones should match
between areas.
Settings that copy include the button actions of each button and all defined parameters with the exception of the target area. When copied,
the target area defined in the original wallstation will update to the area assigned to the selected wallstation.

Modifying Occupancy Sensor Response
The WaveLinx Mobile Application allows modification of some occupancy sensor functions at the individual sensor level and other functions
at a grouped level called an occupancy set. An occupancy set is a group of occupancy sensors that operate together to control the space.
When an area is created, any occupancy sensor assigned to the area is automatically grouped into a default occupancy set to control the
loads in the area. This includes fixture integrated sensors and battery powered ceiling sensors.
In some applications, modification of default occupancy sensor settings may be necessary to meet the desired response. This section
discusses changes that can be made, including:
•
Adjusting occupancy set response and controlled zones
•
Adjusting individual occupancy sensor settings
•
Defining additional occupancy sets
•
Associating occupancy sets for overlapping or cascading control
•
Deleting occupancy sets
Adjusting Occupancy Set Response and Controlled Zones
The occupancy set programming defines the response for all sensors within that set for the controlled zones. Remember that when an
area is created, fixture integrated sensors and battery powered ceiling sensors that are assigned to an area are automatically grouped into a
default occupancy set. The occupancy set automatically controls the default zones for the area. If zones have been manually added, it may be
necessary to manually assign them to the occupancy set control group.
The automatic code commissioning programming defaults for all occupancy sets are:
•
Mode: Occupancy
•
Hold Time: 20 minutes
•
Occupied: Select Scene 3 (default 50% level)
•
Unoccupied: Select Scene 0 (default 0% or OFF level)
•
Controls default zones for the area (zones 1, 2 and 3)
Any of these parameters may be modified for the occupancy set.
To modify the occupancy set response and controlled zones:
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 2: In the areas list, select the area that contains the desired occupancy set.

Defining Additional Occupancy Sets
Although it is not typical of most applications, one area may require more than one occupancy set. Use additional occupancy sets only when
necessary to meet the intended application.
An example application that highlights the use of multiple occupancy sets is an open office area. While the open office is defined as a single
area for wallstation control, in this example, the owners desire greater granularity for occupancy sensor control. Occupancy sensor response
is to be limited to specific zones within the open office space.
In the given application, light fixtures are grouped into unique zones to achieve the desired occupancy sensor operation. Occupancy sets
need to be created for each of these unique zones.

forwarded to trigger occupancy set D.
Review changes to verify all necessary
occupancy sets are associated
Application Example 1: Open Office
In this example, an open office has been segmented into distinct occupancy control zones. The walkway path has also been placed in a
unique control zone. The walkway path zone should turn ON if anyone enters the space and should remain ON if there are occupants in any
of the controlled zones. Unique occupancy sets have been programmed in the area for each of the zones shown.
Zone AZone BZone C
Zone D
(walkways)
Associations are made between the occupancy sets controlling zone A, B, and C, to the walkway occupancy set D. (Remember, the general
rule is to modify the occupancy set that needs to receive signals from other occupancy sets.) In this example, occupancy set D is associated
with the other sets.
68
www.eaton.com/wavelinx
WaveLinx User Manual
With this programming, as an occupant enters the walkway zone D, only zone D will initially respond. As the occupant enters cubicle zone A,
the lighting will respond in zone A. If the occupant remains in zone A, then zone A and the walkway zone D will remain ON, even if there is
no further motion in zone D.
Application Example 2: Common Area Hold On Functionality
In this example, one area of the facility consists of private offices and a shared corridor. Each private office has been configured as an area
and the shared corridor has been configured as a separate area. The corridor should turn ON if anyone enters the corridor and then should
remain ON if there are occupants in any of the private offices. Areas have been created as shown. Each area contains one occupancy set
that is defined with a scene command for occupied and unoccupied actions.

Office 103
Office 101
Office 104
Office 105
Corridor 100
Associations are made between the occupancy sets controlling Offices 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105, to the Corridor 100 occupancy set.
(Remember, the general rule is to modify the occupancy set that needs to receive signals from other occupancy sets.) In this example,
corridor 100’s occupancy set will be associated with the others.

Modifying Light Levels for Daylight Sensors
The WaveLinx system supports daylight sensor control for both interior and exterior applications. In both scenario, the daylighting
functionality may be disabled for fixtures that are not located in a daylight zone or for any devices where daylight operation is not desired.
The WaveLinx system supports two different daylighting approaches, closed loop and open loop.
Closed Loop Daylighting
Standard ambient, industrial and outdoor integrated sensors as well as tilemount sensors are used for closed loop daylight control. With the
closed loop approach, the sensor controls the fixture it is directly connected to. A closed loop sensor “looks” at the surface directly below
the sensor. It reads the reflected light level from the surface including light contributed by the electric light and the daylight that falls within
the sensor’s view. As daylight contribution increases, the sensor dims the electric light to keep the light level on the surface as consistent as
possible. If bright daylight causes the surface light level to be above the desired level even after the light level has been fully dimmed, after a
period of time the fixture will dim to OFF. As daylight contribution decreases and the surface light level lowers, the fixture will turn back ON
and then raise the amount of electric light accordingly.
Open Loop Daylighting
The WaveLinx battery operated ceiling sensors are used for open loop daylight control in interior spaces. The WaveLinx Wireless Outdoor
Lighting Control Module is used for open loop daylight control in exterior spaces. With open loop daylight control, the sensor is placed
in a spot that is optimal for sensing daylight contribution while minimizing the sensor’s view of the electric light in the controlled area. A
correlation is then made between the daylight level “seen” by the sensor and the desired electric light level output, adjusting how much
the sensor dims the electric light in response to daylight. The sensor adjusts the electric lighting as daylight contribution increases and
decreases.
Because the sensor reading is “looking” at daylight contribution and is not affected by changes in the electric light, the sensor can control
multiple zones of fixtures. In interior applications, one sensor can even control different zones at different light levels. This is a common
approach for primary daylight zones next to the windows which typically dim more aggressively than secondary daylight zones located
further into the space. Sensor placement is critical with the open loop approach. Assigning a zone to an open loop daylight set will
automatically disable closed loop daylighting for any integrated sensors or tilemount sensors connected to loads in that zone.
Control Interactions with Daylighting
Daylighting filters the fixture’s response to other control commands. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy sensor to go to
100% will adjust the electric light level output to meet the calibrated daylight level. A command from a wallstation button or occupancy
sensor to go to 50% will adjust the electric light level to meet 50% of the calibrated daylight level. The actual electric light level output with
these commands will vary based on the available amount of daylight in the space and how much electric light needs to be contributed to
maintain the commanded target. If the electric light has daylight dimmed to OFF, lighting will remain OFF if wallstation, schedule event or
occupancy commands are received, preventing unnecessary energy waste when adequate daylight is present.

Calibrate closed loop sensors located in exterior spaces
Disabling Daylighting for Closed Loop Sensors (Interior and Exterior Sensors)
The automatic code commissioning operation causes standard ambient, industrial and outdoor fixture integrated sensors as well as tilemount
sensors to begin daylight dimming as soon as the device is assigned to an area. If the devices are located in areas that should not daylight
dim, disable the daylight set to avoid nuisance dimming if the electric light reflectance alone exceeds the expected target level.
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 2: In the areas list, select the area that contains the controlled fixture.

Step 3: In the area screen, tap on the zone that the controlled fixture is assigned to. If there are multiple fixtures in the zone, identify the
correct device by using one of the following methods:
•
Method 1: Using a laser pointer or flashlight, stand beneath the fixture and shine the laser pointer directly into the lens of the sensor for
3-4 seconds. The timing needs to be precise for the identification mode to respond. The LED in the sensor window will briefly flash violet
at the end of this 3-4 second period. In the mobile application, the device’s icon will move to the far-left and begin to pulse in the in area
device section. Note the name of the identified device.
•
Method 2: Within the zone screen, double tap a fixture’s icon to place the fixture into blink to identify mode for 15 seconds. Repeat with
additional devices until the desired fixture load is visually identified. Note the name of the identified device.
Tap on the fixture's zone icon
Identify the correct device using
one of described methods
Step 4: Tap on the identified device to open its device details page. Make note of its currently assigned closed loop daylight set. Tap the back

Calibrating and Modifying Light Levels for Closed Loop Daylight Sensors
In the WaveLinx system, standard ambient and industrial fixture integrated sensors as well as tilemount daylight sensors use closed loop
daylighting to directly control the physically connected load. Unlike occupancy sets, closed loop daylight sensors cannot be grouped into a
single daylight set. Each daylight sensor is automatically assigned to a unique daylight set.
Each sensor has default factory settings that provide closed loop daylighting to a reasonable light level. Daylight sensor operation begins
automatically once the fixture containing/connected to the sensor is assigned to an area other than the default construction group.
The default factory settings cannot account for all factors that affect the light level measured at the sensor. The sensor location is not at
the surface but at the ceiling and therefore its reading of reflected light levels is affected by many variables, including mounting height, the
surface height, and the color and reflective properties of the room décor. If a specific light level is expected at the surface, then calibration at
the site is required.
It is recommended to calibrate and adjust the target level of all the sensors within one area at the same time using the mobile application’s
option to calibrate all. In this method, all of the sensors within the space (area) will be calibrated together. A light meter capable of reporting
lux or foot-candles is recommended for this procedure.
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 2: In the areas list, select the area to calibrate.

Step 5: Use the slider bars to adjust the electric light to the desired level for each controlled fixture. Verify that the level is correct by placing
the light meter on the surface beneath each of the controlled fixtures, ensuring that the reading is within the desired range. If the light
level is still too bright when electric lighting is fully dimmed, use available shading to adjust the amount of incoming daylight or postpone
calibration until the amount of incoming daylight has decreased.

Calibrating and Modifying Light Levels for Exterior Closed Loop Daylight Sensors
In the WaveLinx system, outdoor fixture integrated sensors use closed loop daylighting to directly control the physically connected load. Each
daylight sensor is automatically assigned to a unique daylight set.
Each sensor has default factory settings that provide closed loop daylighting to a reasonable light level. Daylight sensor operation begins
automatically once the fixture containing the sensor is assigned to an area other than the default construction group.
The default factory settings cannot account for all factors that affect the light level measured at the sensor. The sensor location is not at the
surface but at the fixture and therefore its reading of reflected light levels is affected by many variables, including the mounting height and
the reflective properties of the surface. If a specific daylighting behavior is expected, then calibration at the site is required.
If calibration is necessary, calibrate and adjust the target level of all the sensors within one area at the same time using the mobile
application’s option to calibrate all. In this method, all of the sensors within the space (area) will be calibrated together.
Once calibrated, when the measured light level exceeds 150% of the calibrated light level for more than 30 minutes, the sensor will turn
lighting OFF. When the measured light level is less than 50% of the calibrated light level for more than 10 minutes, the sensor will turn
lighting ON.
ote:NBefore beginning the calibration process, for best accuracy, ensure that the outdoor light level is at the level where lighting should be turning
ON or OFF. For outdoor application, this is typically either at dusk when the lighting should be turning ON or at dawn when the lighting should be
turning OFF.
Step 1: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.

Configuring Open Loop Daylighting Control
This section focuses on the use of open loop daylighting control. In the WaveLinx system, open loop daylighting is not part of the automatic
code commissioning operation and must be specifically configured. This process is discussed in detail for both interior and exterior open loop
daylighting applications.
Configuring Interior Open Loop Daylight Sensors
Interior open loop daylighting requires the use of a battery operated ceiling sensor.
•
Open loop daylight sensors should be mounted so that the sensor lens views mainly daylight, not the electric light being controlled in the
area. Refer to the battery operated ceiling sensor’s installation guide for further information on the recommended mounting locations for
this device in daylighting applications.
•
The battery operated ceiling sensor also has occupancy sensing capability. The optimal mounting location for occupancy sensing may not
be the optimal location for open loop daylighting. Separate sensors may be necessary to ensure adequate occupancy sensing coverage
and optimal daylight placement.
•
If fixtures in the zones that are assigned to open loop daylight sets contain integrated or tilemount sensors, closed loop daylighting will
automatically be disabled for these sensors.
Before proceeding:
•
Interior open loop sensor calibration should be performed during daylight hours when electric lighting should be reduced but not fully
dimmed.
•
The use of a light meter capable of reporting lux or foot-candles at the work surface is recommended.
www.eaton.com/wavelinx
81
WaveLinx User Manual
Step 1: Verify that light levels are optimal for calibration. First, turn OFF the electric lighting in the space, and then verify with a light meter
at the work surface that the reading with daylight alone is within 50% to 75% of the desired target light level. If the light level is too high or
too low, return at a time when the daylight level is within this optimal range. (For example, if the desired light level at the work surface is 500
lux, the reading with electric lighting OFF should be between 250 to 375 lux for best results.)
Step 2: Open the WaveLinx Mobile Application and establish a connection with the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 3: In the areas list, select the area to calibrate.
•
Step 4: Using a wallstation, turn ON the controlled lighting and raise the light level to the highest output.
Step 5: If multiple ceiling sensors are within the area, only one will be used for daylighting. In the mobile application area screen, identify the
correct sensor by shining a flashlight into the lens of the sensor for 3 to 4 seconds. The sensor icon should flash or pulse. Make note of the
identified sensor’s name/descriptor.

Configuring Exterior Open Loop Daylight Sensors
Exterior open loop daylighting requires the use of the WaveLinx Wireless Outdoor Lighting Control Module.
•
If the controlled area contains more than one wireless outdoor lighting control module, one module may be assigned to control daylighting
for the connected fixture, or may be assigned to control daylighting for a group of fixtures if it is desired to have them respond to
daylighting in the exact same manner.
•
If fixtures in the zones that are assigned to open loop daylight sets contain an outdoor integrated sensor, closed loop daylighting will
automatically be disabled for these sensors
The WaveLinx wireless outdoor control module is hardcoded for ON at dusk / OFF at dawn operation based on optimal performance factors
for outdoor application. These settings cannot be modified. Lighting will turn OFF if the light level has exceeded 65 lux for a period of 180
seconds (3 minutes). Lighting will turn ON if the light level falls below 16 lux for a period of 30 seconds.
Because settings are hard coded, the configuration of an exterior open loop sensor is simplified and consists of creating the daylight set,
assigning the necessary controlled zones, and assigning the sensor that perform the daylighting functions. It is also possible to view the
sensor’s current reading.

Adding Schedules to the Control Strategy
The automatic code commissioning operation does not include any default schedule events. Schedule events may be added to the control
strategy if required. A schedule event may be used for two basic functions:
1. To issue commands at a specific time of day or astronomic clock sunrise or sunset time.
2. To change the behavior of an occupancy set beginning or ending at a specific time of day.
ote:NIf a schedule event that issues a scene or zone level command is assigned to an area that has occupancy sensors, at the time of the event if the area is
occupied, the lighting and receptacle loads will go to the commanded schedule event levels. If the area is not occupied, the lighting and receptacle loads will
remain at the unoccupied commanded levels.

Once devices are paired with the WAC, the WaveLinx system operates with default demand response functionality. This section describes
how to adjust the default response and how to initiate a test to verify the demand response functionality. For information on integration and
connection to the demand response system, refer to the Lighting Xpert Insights manual.
Demand response signals affect only dimmable loads. Demand response signals will have no effect on switched loads or receptacles.
By default, upon receipt of the demand response signal, all dimmable zones will reduce their light level by 20%. Commands from other
controls will operate within the reduced range until the demand response signal is released. Once released, the lighting returns to the
correct level for the active command. Use the WaveLinx Mobile Application to adjust demand response reduction levels and to exempt
zones from responding. Use the mobile application’s built-in test function to verify that demand response levels are appropriate.

Logging into the Wireless Area Controller Webpages
Establish a connection from a computer to the Wireless Area Controller to access administrator functions in the internal webpages.
The steps in this section assume that the Wireless Area Controller has not been connected to a building network and is still in its factory
default state for wireless name and username/password. If the Wireless Area Controller is connected to the building network, or the
wireless name and password has been changed from the default, please refer to the network administrator for access information.
Step 1: Make sure that the computer being used has wireless connectivity and has a compatible web browser installed. The WaveLinx
internal webpage configuration is accessed using Google Chrome version 70 or higher, Internet Explorer version 11 or higher, and Mozilla
Firefox version 63 or higher.
Step 2: Go to the location of the Wireless Area Controller. On the front plate of the Wireless Area Controller below the blue Eaton LED,
locate the label with the MAC ID. Make note of the MAC ID shown.
Step 3: Ensure that the computer’s Wi-Fi is active, and then navigate to the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Locate the Wi-Fi network with
the name Eaton-XXXXXXXXXXXX (where X is a string of letters and numbers). If there is more than one Wireless Area Controller in the
facility, more than one wireless ID with this naming criteria may be shown. Select the Wi-Fi network Eaton-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX where the
X characters match the MAC ID noted in the last step. Enter the password wclAdmin when prompted matching the case shown and join
the network.
