First time using VTAP PRO reader in Cloud mode

1. Before powering the device, please check that the chosen Wi‑Fi network is available. This will be either ‘VTAP’ (with a password of ‘passreader’) or another SSID that you specified to our team in advance.

2. Power on the VTAP100-PRO-BW, by connecting the captive USB cable to a 5V USB port or power adapter or VTAP100-PRO-POE by connecting the PoE cable. Always confirm the suitability of any power adapter before use.

3. You should see a steady red LED on the top of the VTAP PRO reader. This indicates that the device is booting up, which can take up to 10 seconds.

   When boot up is complete you should see the LED flash red while the device establishes a network or Wi‑Fi connection. A steady blue LED indicates you have a successful connection to the network or Wi‑Fi and the Internet, and therefore to the Dot Origin cloud platform.

   Note: The steady blue LED will flicker every 30s in response to a heartbeat signal, giving visual confirmation it is still in communication with the VTAP Cloud.

   Continued LED red flashing signals a problem. Reconfiguring the Wi‑Fi settings, if needed, is addressed in Wi‑Fi configuration in Cloud mode.
