In the process of adding a device to your Room Booking System Web Portal, one of the steps is pairing the device with your Room Booking System Web Portal account. For a complete overview and instructions on how to add a device, click here.
Once your Room Booking System device is connected to the Wi-Fi, a unique pairing PIN code should appear on the display which you enter in your Room Booking System Web Portal.
However, it might happen that this PIN code does not appear for you once you unplug the Micro USB cable from the Room Booking System device.
In most cases, this is caused by the device not being connected to the internet and thus not being able to fetch the unique PIN code.
Here are a few potential causes and tips on how to resolve them:
- Wi-Fi settings were not properly set
- There is a firmware update in progress
- TCP port 11113 is not open or a firewall is blocking the connection
Wi-Fi settings were not properly set
The most frequent cause of this issue is a mistake in the Wi-FI configuration process. Make sure you properly connected the device to your Wi-Fi. Click here for instructions on how to do so.
There is a firmware update in progress
If you set up the Wi-Fi settings correctly, but the device is showing the “No Wi-Fi” screen, then the Room Booking System device is not fully connected yet and might be in the middle of the latest firmware update. This may take up to 5 minutes, so please be patient and allow the device to update
TCP port 11113 is not open or a firewall is blocking the connection
Make sure that there are no firewall settings that might block the network connection of both the device and server.
Also, as Room Booking System devices communicate with the on-premises server through the TCP port 11113, make sure it is open. Otherwise, the Room Booking System device will not be able to establish a connection.
