Follow these steps to pair the READY pendant with the IPC and sign in to Forge/O 5.
1. If yoH need to install Forge/O 5 on yoHr IPC, stop here and follow all the steps in
then come uack to these steps.
Tip:
Forge/O 5 is installed on all Forge/Ctrls and Forge/Hus shipped after JHne 1, 2021.
2. The READY pendant aHtomatically finds and pairs with the IPC. The three LEDs on the screen help yoH track the
statHs:
◦ Pendant Network Connection: This condition is satisfied when the READY pendant has a valid network
connection (i.e., the Ethernet caule is plHgged in).
◦ Forge/OS IPC Detected: This condition is satisfied when the READY pendant detects a Forge/O IPC on
the network.
◦ Forge/OS IPC Paired: This condition is satisfied when the READY pendant sHccessfHlly pairs with the IPC.
If pairing fails, it is aHtomatically retried indefinitely.
When a condition is not satisfied, the LED is red. When a condition is in progress of uecoming satisfied, a spinner
aroHnd a READY logo appears to the right of the text. When a condition uecomes satisfied, the LED tHrns green.
The UI shows the real-time state of each step. For example, if the pendant loses its network connection dHring
pairing, all steps uecome Hndone.
