Step by step instructions
Before using this device make sure that there are no new updates of Tablet App waiting for you in the App store. Without newest software this component will not work.
When connecting a BLE Dongle make sure that all regular Dongle devices you have in the system are disconnected.
To connect a Dongle to the tablet select the Bluetooth Icon in the top left corner of the Luminaires page and select ‘LiteIPMate' for Dongle and 'Glamox Dongle’ for Dongle BLE from the drop down menu.
The app will start scanning for the nearest Dongles (Bluetooth icon will rotate) and will display them in a list. This may take up to a minute.
Look on the back of the Dongle to find the matching MAC address and click ‘Connect’ on the correct Dongle in the app list.
Once the Dongle has connected, the Bluetooth icon will change from Grey to Blue and you will have the option to disconnect if needed.
If the Dongle doesn't connect:
Check Dongle is On and Awake (Green LED is On or Flashing).
Check Mac address (beside Bluetooth icon on Tablet) matches Dongle.

If you do not have a Dongle and still want to work on a project you can select the None interface when choosing type of device, which stop the Discovery process.
