Leviton NorthStar Site Controller Manual de usuario

The instructions in this guide provide a basic overview for quickly getting results from a NorthStarlighting

solution. They are intended to get you up and running quickly, and should be used for initial testing and proof of

concept operations.

Installation Overview:

lConnect the site controller and turn it on

lLog in to the site controller

lConfigure the controller's location and time settings

lChange the site controller's default password

lConduct a system census to discover lights

lConfigure and place lights

lControl the lights

Once these steps are complete, you'll have a good feel for how a full installation will work and behave, and a

clearer picture for how you'll want the full installation to be configured.

Lighting System Configuration Overview

ANorthStar lighting solution consists of a NorthStar Site Controller and some number of lights equipped with

Leviton light controllers, and potentially sensors and/or switches.

The NorthStar Site Controller serves as the hub of control and communications for managing the lights that

make up the lighting solution.

Setting up the NorthStar Site Controller

The first step in installing a NorthStarlighting solution is to connect the physical hardware of the system, followed

by configuration of the system within the NorthStaruser interface. These instructions assume that you have

already physically installed the hardware that will make up your NorthStarlighting solution and you are now

ready to connect the site controller.

Page 2| NorthStar Quick Install Guide

To install the NorthStarsite controller:

1. Unpack the NorthStar Site Controller.

2. Attach the included antennas to the site controller as

shown. When looking at the top of the site controller

(with the mounting bracket on the back side), the

longest antenna (SNAP antenna) attaches to the

left-most antenna connector, and the shorter Wi-Fi

antenna attaches to the middle connector. If the site

controller that you're installing has cellular capability,

the optional cell antenna is attached to the

remaining connector.

Leviton-provided antennas will have white dots at

the base of the antenna that denote the type. One

dot is a SNAPantenna, two is for a Wi-Fi antenna,

and three is for a cellular antenna. This notation is

also reflected on the front unit label of the site

controller.

3. Plug the provided power supply into the barrel

connector and then into an 110VAC outlet. When the

NorthStar Site Controller powers up, orange LEDs

will light up for approximately 30 seconds while the

site controller software starts up. Once this is

complete, the orange LEDs will turn off and the site controller will be ready to use.

Software Configuration and Logging In

The NorthStar Site Controller comes preconfigured with the NorthStar software so there is no user installation

of software required.

The current version of the NorthStar software only supports the Google Chrome browser. Other browsers will be

supported in future releases. If you don’t have the Google Chrome browser installed on your device, please

download and install it from this location:

http://www.google.com/chrome

Accessing the Site Controller

The NorthStar Site Controller supports LAN(Ethernet)and WI-FIconnections. The NorthStar Site Controller

acts as an access point and broadcasts its Wi-Fi SSID over the air. During installation the Wi-Fi connection is used

to establish communications between the controller and a browser based device such as a computer or tablet.

After that, it can be accessed via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

The SSID that is broadcast from the site controller should be visible from the network connections panel of your

computer or tablet. It will appear in your network connections list as SimplySNAP_XXXXXX where XXXXXX is

the specific address of the site controller. This address is unique to each site controller and is the last 6

alphanumeric characters of the Ethernet MAC address.

The Wi-Fi connection to the

site controller is secure. Once

you select the SSID and your

computer attempts to

connect to the site controller,

it will prompt you for a

password to complete the connection.

Enter the password synapse!wireless to establish the connection.

When this password is entered a connection is established and will appear

in your network settings similar to what is shown below. This may appear

as an “Unidentified network” with no Internet access.

Next, launch the Chrome browser and enter HTTPS://192.168.55.1 in the

address bar.

Make sure it is entered exactly as shown. (This is a secure connection to a

specific IP address that is the factory default within the site controller). This connection mimics a connection to an

internet access point.

You will receive a warning as shown at right. Click the

Advanced link at the bottom, then click the "Proceed to

192.168.55.1 (unsafe)" link. (This warning is displayed because

the site controller is using an unsigned security certificate.)

The NorthStar dashboard should now appear in your browser

and present you with the login screen for the NorthStar site

controller.

Enter the following username and password:

Username: snap

Password: qwerty

After you log in, navigate to the NorthStar dashboard page by clicking the Dashboard menu selection.

The Dashboard

The dashboard provides an overview of the components that make up your NorthStarsystem.

NOTE: For more information on the Dashboard and menu choices, please see the NorthStarUser Guide.

Discovering Unconfigured Devices

You'll next want to add a few devices to the system to get a feel for how it works. Again, these instructions are for

getting a quick idea of how easy the system is to configure and use, and not intended to be used for a full

installation. Please consult the NorthStarUser Guide for full instructions.

NOTE: Before proceeding, make sure all of your lighting controllers are properly installed and power is

applied.

You can click the Unconfigured Devices icon on

the Devices &Zones page to perform a "census"

of the unconfigured NorthStar devices on your

channel and network ID. These devices will

appear in a list to provide you with an easy way to

configure them.

If you are adding several devices in this manner,

we recommend that you perform the census two

or three times to ensure that all devices were

discovered.

To perform a census of unconfigured devices:

1. Click the Devices & Zones menu choice in

the left menu panel, then click the Census

Icon.

2. Click the Start Census button at the top of

the screen. NorthStar will begin to search

for unconfigured devices in your network.

3. If unconfigured devices are discovered, you

will be presented with a list of the devices.

To add a device to your network, click the

Add Device button to the left of the device

you wish to add. The new device will appear in a pane on the Devices &Zones page.

NOTE: If the lighting controller does not automatically identify its type as part of the census, you can

manually select the proper type using the drop-down menu.

4. Once the device is loaded, you can edit it as you would any other device. For more information on editing

devices, please consult the NorthStaruser guide.

Activating, Deactivating and Dimming Lights

After a light is entered into the system it can be controlled directly from the Devices and Zones page. Broader

control can be accomplished through the use of zones, schedules, and sensors, which are explained fully in the

NorthStarUser Guide.

The light may be switched on and off using the toggle switch in the lower left of the light panel, while dimming can

be controlled using the slider switch in the center of the panel.

Next Steps

You have now completed the NorthStar lighting solution introduction. For more detailed information, including

administration and configuration of zones, sensors, and behaviors, consult the NorthStar user manual.
