Programming the installation
Program the installation with the most recent version of the programming software (available on www.niko.eu) and load it
to the connected controller. If you add additional modules to the installation, you will need to reprogram the installation in
order for the modules to work.
Follow the steps below to program the installation:
1 Connect the installation to the mains power supply.
2 Press the TEST button and verify that the STATUS LED of each module lights up. This way you are certain that all
sliding controls between the modules were closed properly.
Connect the computer to the installation:
• If a router is already present for the home network, you can:
- connect the computer to a free port on the router.
- if it is a WiFi router, connect the computer to the installation wirelessly. This gives the advantage that you
can walk around the home whilst addressing the inputs. To upload the programming to the installation, we
recommend using a wired connection with a free port on the router as such a connection is more reliable than
a WiFi connection.
• If a router is not yet present, you can connect your computer directly to the WAN port of the connected controller.
As an IP address is assigned automatically with this connection, it can take up to 2 minutes before the connection
with the connected controller is realized.
1 Start up the programming software and open your installation project.
2 Click on "Create" on the menu bar and follow the on-screen instructions until all the steps of the programming
process are completed.
3 Disconnect the computer from the installation.
All programmed outputs are now stored in the controller. At any time this programming can be read on the controller.
Save a backup on your computer. Backups are also stored on the controller.
