These instructions assume that the hub and zappi have not been paired before and they are on the default radio channel (channel 1)
On the hub
Briefly press the "Pair" button. The LED's should change colour:
|
All countries except Australia |
Australia (915MHz Radio) |
|
|
If the LED's are not these colours then the hub is set on a different radio channel or may be on the wrong radio frequency
On the zappi
Select the menu: Settings -> Advanced -> 0 0 0 0 -> Linked Devices - Pairing Mode
The display hub will appear in the list of devices on the screen
Make sure it is selected and then press +
After a short countdown the list of devices will refresh and you should see the listed and pair.
The zappi LED on the hub will now be lit.
Changing the hub radio channel
If the LED's on the hub are not as listed above then the hub is on a different radio channel. The hub and the zappi need to be on the same channel to work.
To change the hub channel:
- Briefly press the "Pair" button. The Power LED will flash Red
- Now press and hold the "Pair" button
- The channel LED's will cycle through the eight possible channels
- Blue - Channels 1 to 4
- White - Channels 5 to 8
Changing the hub from 868MHz to 915MHz (and back)
To switch between the two different radio frequencies
- Briefly press the "Pair" button. The Power LED will flash Red
- Now Press and hold the “Pair” button and the “Download” button together for 10 seconds until the server LED changes (Yellow for 915MHz Australia mode / not lit for 868MHz mode)

These instructions assume that the hub and zappi have not been paired before... err mine have been paired before but after a hub reset lights to zappi and harvi are off. How do I re pair now?
When I put my hub in pairing mode and try to pair from my zappi v1 I can't see the hub in the list. What is the radio signal range? Currently they are probably only 5 meters apart, but there are a couple of walls between them.
[Ed: The range is very good - should be better than WiFi, but depends on what might be blocking the signal. Foil backed plasterboard will kill the radio signal, as do thick stone walls.
To pair the hub you could temporarily move if closer to the zappi (it does not have to be plugged into the Ethernet when it is pairing.
Best to stick to channel 1 or 4.
One other thing to check is that the hub is on the same radio frequency. Zappi v1 only works on 868MHz. When the hub is in pairing mode, if the server LED is yellow then it's on 915MHz]
