- Turn on Speedlink. It will connect automatically to SpeedLAN_X
- Start your Speedlight App on the iPAD
- Go to ‘Setup and Connection’ page.
- If everything is connected, you will see the Preset test menu appear
- If there is an issue with connection you may see “No IP available” error message
- If this occurs check if you can see SpeedlinkNNNN (where NNNN is the serial number of your Speedlink) If you can see this, your Speedlink has not connected to the Dlink AP.
- Hold you finger on the red button until the RED led comes on solid, and release. This turns the device off
- Again Hold your finger on the red button until the RED led comes on solid, and release. this turns the device on. It may take 30 seconds before connection is complete

General Notes
- The link between gates and Speedlink is not WIFI. Speedlight gates uses a Zigbee protocol
- The Dlink provides a common access point for iPad and Speedlink using WIFI
- It is worth noting that Zigbee has a great range than WIFI , as such always keep the iPad within 20m or so of the Dlink AP.
- Ensure all antennas point up, and make sure you are using our latest hi-gain antennas fro optimal performance
- DO NOT put the Speedlink on the ground. Make sure it is at least 40cm off the ground, with antenna pointing up
- DO NOT put the speedlink any closer than 30cm to the Dlink
