Home Screen

The home screen allows you to gain access to changing, editing, the Wi-Fi
settings, access the security functions, access the multimedia (camera)
options, change the theme to accommodate mobile devices, access the setup
options, exit the VAM interface.

Configuring the Wi-Fi Settings

The Change Wi-Fi Router option is an alternative method of changing your
router, but is recommended only for users with Wi-Fi network administrator
experience. To accomplish this the following will be needed:
• Wi-Fi enabled smart device
• Home router SSID and WPA2 password (typically located on the home
router's label or assigned by the network administrator); home router must
use WPA2 encryption and have a password (key) assigned.
NOTE: Before setting up the network, set your smart device for Wi-Fi
operation only (turn off the smart devices "mobile data" option).

Change the home Wi-Fi Router

1. Connect the smart device to the VAM using the normal process
instructed by the installer.
2. Click Setup > Network > Change WiFi Router and Enter the new
SSID and Password, and then press "Connect".
3. Accept the notification "Are you sure you want to replace your router
settings?" This is a 1-minute process, after which VAM will return to
the home screen once a successful connection has occurred. Bookmark
this page (or accessed through vam.lanconnect.com).
NOTE: It may be necessary to default the WiFi setting for the VAM. To
do so press and hold down the default/reset button for more than 5
seconds to reset the Wi-Fi network settings. VAM's LEDs blink in
various patterns indicating that reboot is in progress. Reboot is
complete when the blue and green LEDs light steady. Connect the
smart device to the VAM using the device's Wi-Fi settings menu (VAM
is a wireless access point).
Enter the VAM SSID: VAM_xxxx
NOTE: xxxx = the last 4 digits of the MAC address (case-sensitive)
Enter the Key (found on the VAM label "WPA2 pw" line) and repeat the
connection process above.
