Setting Up the G2 Gateway⁚ A Step-by-Step Guide
Begin by ensuring your G2 Gateway is within 30 feet (ideally 10 feet) of your smart lock for optimal Bluetooth connectivity. Power on the gateway using the provided Type-C USB cable and a 5V/500mA power supply. Observe the LED indicator lights; alternating red and blue signifies standby mode‚ ready for pairing. Download the TTLock app from your device’s app store (Google Play or App Store). Create an account or log in if you already have one. Within the app‚ navigate to the gateway setup section. The app will guide you through the process of connecting the gateway to your Wi-Fi network. Input your Wi-Fi credentials (SSID and password) accurately. The gateway will then connect to your home network‚ enabling remote access. During this process‚ the LED lights on the G2 will indicate the connection status; a solid blue light usually signals a successful connection. Once the network connection is established‚ the app will prompt you to pair the gateway with your smart lock(s). Follow the on-screen instructions carefully‚ ensuring the smart lock is within Bluetooth range of the G2 Gateway. After successful pairing‚ you can start managing your smart locks remotely via the TTLock app.
Connecting the G2 Gateway to Your Wi-Fi Network
To connect your G2 Gateway to your home Wi-Fi network‚ ensure the gateway is powered on and in standby mode (alternating red and blue LED lights); Open the TTLock app and navigate to the gateway setup section. The app will prompt you to select your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your Wi-Fi network’s SSID (name) and password. Double-check the accuracy of this information to prevent connection errors. The G2 Gateway supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks adhering to the 802.11 b/g/n standard. It’s crucial to ensure your router is broadcasting on the 2.4 GHz band‚ as 5 GHz networks are not compatible. The app may require you to select the correct region for your Wi-Fi network. Once the correct information is provided‚ the app will attempt to connect the G2 Gateway to your Wi-Fi. This process may take a few minutes; the LED light on the G2 will change to indicate the connection status. A solid blue light generally signifies a successful connection. If the connection fails‚ verify your Wi-Fi credentials‚ check for any network interference‚ and ensure your router is functioning correctly. Refer to the troubleshooting section if you encounter persistent connection issues. After successful connection‚ you’ll be able to control your smart locks remotely through the internet.
Pairing the G2 Gateway with the TTLock App
Before pairing‚ ensure your G2 Gateway is successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network (refer to the previous section for instructions). Then‚ open the TTLock app on your smartphone or tablet. You’ll need to create an account or log in if you already have one. The app will guide you through the process of adding a new device. Select the option to add a gateway and choose the G2 model from the list of available devices. The app may display a QR code; you might need to scan this code using your device’s camera to initiate pairing. Alternatively‚ you might need to manually enter a device ID from the G2 Gateway’s label. This ID should be visible on the packaging or the device itself. Next‚ the app will likely prompt you to confirm the gateway’s connection status and network details. This step verifies that the G2 Gateway is correctly connected to your Wi-Fi network and ready for pairing. Once confirmed‚ the app will initiate the pairing process. This might involve pressing a button on the G2 Gateway while the app is actively searching for the device. The app will provide on-screen instructions and visual feedback (e.g.‚ progress bar) during the pairing process. Successful pairing will be indicated by a confirmation message within the TTLock app. You’ll then be able to manage your smart locks through the gateway using the app’s interface.
Managing User Access and Passcodes
The TTLock app provides a centralized platform for managing user access and passcodes for your smart locks connected to the G2 Gateway. You can easily add new users by inputting their details‚ such as name and phone number‚ and assigning them specific access permissions. These permissions can range from temporary access codes valid for a limited time period‚ to permanent access codes granting ongoing access. You have granular control over the duration and validity of each passcode. For instance‚ you can set time-based restrictions‚ such as allowing access only during specific days or hours. This is particularly useful for managing access for guests or temporary residents. The app allows you to view the access history for each user‚ providing a record of when and how each user accessed the lock. This feature enhances security and allows you to monitor usage patterns. You can also revoke access for any user at any time‚ effectively disabling their passcode. This ensures that unauthorized individuals are prevented from accessing your property. Moreover‚ the app allows you to generate eKeys for specific users‚ enabling convenient access management without the need to physically share physical keys. Remember to regularly review and update user access permissions as needed to maintain optimal security and control.
Utilizing Advanced Features⁚ eKeys and RF Cards
Enhance the functionality of your G2 Smart Lock Gateway by exploring its advanced features⁚ eKeys and RF cards. eKeys‚ digital keys generated within the TTLock app‚ offer a convenient and secure alternative to traditional physical keys. Share eKeys with trusted individuals‚ granting temporary or permanent access to your property. Control access duration and revoke eKeys remotely at any time for enhanced security. The system allows for granular control‚ offering flexibility in managing who has access and for how long. This eliminates the need for key exchange and reduces the risk of lost or stolen physical keys. Complementing eKeys‚ RF cards provide a contactless access method. Program RF cards within the app to grant access to specific individuals. Simply hold the card near the lock’s reader for immediate entry. RF cards offer a user-friendly experience‚ ideal for family members or frequent visitors. Manage both eKeys and RF cards efficiently through the TTLock app‚ maintaining a comprehensive overview of all access permissions granted.
