Step 1 Set up of the AP

The AP has a PoE interface and is powered via Ethernet cable, it does not have a separate power adapter.

You will need two Ethernet cables to connect the device. For easier identification, the cables in the images above are color-coded: one is white, and the other is black.

​​White cable:​​ Connect one end to the ​​POE​​ port on the ​​POE Power​​ unit, and the other end to the ​​LAN​​ port on the ​​AP​​.

​​Black cable:​​ Connect one end to the ​​LAN​​ port on the ​​POE Power​​ unit, and the other end to a ​​LAN​​ port on your ​​router or switch​​.

 

Step 2 Check the AP online status

After you power on the AP and connect it to the network, log in to the ESL management system, enter the store management–AP management, and you can check the online status of the AP. As shown in the figure below, it means that the AP is online.

If the AP is not online, please check your network or contact our technical support.

 

Step 3 Batch import ESL devices

Store management—ESL management—bulk add

We will add ESL devices to the management system before delivery. You can see these ESLs in the system’s store management—ESL management.

If you need to add ESL devices yourself, you can follow the steps above

 

Step 4 Create Goods

Generally, you can select the template name as REG.

After selecting, you have completed the binding of this product and this template.

Shopcode, GoodsCode and GoodsName are required.

 

Step 5 Create Templates

ESL template–Add

There are 4 points to note here.

1 Here the document name is template name, as the above photo.

2 The template name(document name) can only be one of the system preset names, as shown in the figure below, where REG is used as an example.

3 Input the device code in “Label Type”

you can check the code on the back of your ESL device, as shown below

ESL has different sizes and screens have different colors, so we set different device codes. The device code is unique. Multiple devices with the same code can share the same template.

4 When you create the template, the product name, retail price and barcode needs to be bound to the corresponding field, see below 3 yellow mark in the photo

 

Step 6 Bind Product

Then the ESL screen will be updated.
