  • Page 64 Q4: I used RWCCARD100/RCCARD100 to connect to Cloud but not getting free trial. My device is locked in the device list. How do I fix this? Please check below and try to add the card again. Ensure 8883 port is open on your Router Ensure DNS Server on your WiFi Router is working correctly (we suggest configuring your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 as your DNS servers)
  • Page 65 Q6: What does this message mean? It means your RCCARD100 was previously added to another account. For example, you have to delete the device from A account before RCCARD100 can be added in B account. Q7: Why am I still receiving notification even if my app status is log-out? For security reasons, your app account will be automatically logged out after not using for a while.
  • Page 66 Q9: When the card is installed on another device, is the free trial removed or added to the device? When the system detects the card is installed on another device, the card is automatically converted to the replacement device. Q10: When the card is switched to another account, how do I reset? When the system detects the card is switched to another account, the card is automatically converted to the new account, and users do not have to manually transfer the card on server.
