Wiring the Edge Device
1. Preparation
Install electrical box.
For new installations: use a 4” square electrical box (minimum of 1 ½” deep)
with a single-gang plaster ring.
To prevent tampering: Conceal plaster ring mounting screws with drywall or use
tamper resistant screws.
For surface-mount installations: use Wiremold® V5744S or BW35.
Remove metal back-plate from unit and mount to electrical box, as shown.

Manually Connecting to an Edge Device
This section explains how to connect a laptop to access the diagnostic interface for the Edge
device if the device does not automatically connect, or if the network does not support DHCP
and manual network setup is required.
The device must have a known IP address if it is to be accessed from other machines on the
network. The most convenient way to achieve this is to set a Static IP Address appropriate for
the local network. Contact your LAN administrator for the corresponding settings.
For Brivo OnAir:

To set static parameters or proxy settings:
1. Connect Edge device to laptop.
2. Open your browser and enter the address http://169.254.242.121.
3. The login page will display, prompting for login information. The default
username is “admin.” Leave the password field blank.
4. The password page displays. Choose a username and enter password. Click
“set password.” A page displays to signify that the changes have been saved
successfully
o
To set static IP address:
1. Click on the Networking tab.
a. Click IP Configuration.
b. Click the “Deactivate DHCP” button.
c. Fill in the fields according to the worksheet at the end of
this document.
d. Click Set Static Parameters. Changes have been saved.
o
To set proxy server settings:
1. Click on the Networking tab.
a. Click Proxy Server.
b. Fill out the fields according to the worksheet. If SOCKS5
proxy server settings are required, fill in:
i. Address
ii. Port
iii. Username
iv. Password
c. Click Accept. Changes have been saved.
After settings are configured, reconnect the Ethernet cable back into the main
network and check to ensure that the device is communicating with Brivo Central.
For Aprato:

To set static parameters:
1. Connect the Edge device to your laptop.
2. Open your browser and enter the address http://169.254.242.121.
3. The login page will display, prompting for login information. The default
username is “admin.” Leave the password field blank.

network.
3. Go to http://<edgeIP>/cgi-bin/server.cgi and enter the SE
appliance’s IP address. Software for the Edge device installs.
NOTE: When you click submit, a page will display that may or may not give
updates about the device’s status. Allow the page to run to completion before
powering down the device.
o

If necessary, return network to DHCP configuration:

Appendices
Network Defaults Jumper
Use the Network Defaults Jumper to correct possible errors in the network configuration of an
Edge device in order to proceed normally with configuration or reconfiguration.
WARNING: All network configuration information will be overwritten upon
rebooting the Edge device with a jumper in place.
 To use the Network Defaults Jumper:
1. Remove the jumper from the Tamper header.
2. Place the same jumper over the two left pins of the P65 header as shown in
the figure above.
3. Reboot the Edge device to change all of the configuration settings back to
the factory default settings.
4. After the LED turns amber, remove the jumper from the P65 header and
return it to the Tamper header. The Edge device will take approximately 60
seconds to reset following the removal of the jumper. Once the device
finishes rebooting, the LED will blink green.
5. Configure the Edge device for your installation parameters.
