Setting up the Wi-Fi access point allows the In&box to automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network whenever it is charging. This connection will regularly enable you to receive all updates.
Connecting at least once a year (and once a month if you have a monthly subscription) is essential; otherwise, the In&box will be automatically locked and will no longer function until the next connection.
Set up my Wi-Fi access point via the My In&box app
From the first use, configure your Wi-Fi access point using the My In&box mobile app. Turn on the In&box and connect it to the app, then follow these steps:
- Go to the "Wi-Fi Synchronization" tab at the bottom of the screen, and click on "Add a Wi-Fi network".
- Add your Wi-Fi access point: The app will search for nearby Wi-Fi access points. Select yours and enter the corresponding password.
Once configured, you will be able to start the synchronization by clicking “Start synchronization” from the Dashboard under the “Last synchronization” section. The In&box will also connect to the configured Wi-Fi access point as soon as it is plugged in and charging on mains power, and it will automatically download the latest updates.
You can configure up to 3 different Wi-Fi access points.
To add another Wi-Fi access point:
- Turn on the In&box and connect it to the app. Then, go to the "Equipment" tab at the bottom of the screen, click on the right arrow on the "In&box" button, then click the "+" in the "Wi-Fi Networks" section.
- Add your new Wi-Fi access point: The app will search for nearby Wi-Fi access points. Select yours and enter the corresponding password.
Currently compatible Wi-Fi access points are: Wi-Fi b/g/n with WPA/WPA2/WEP protection.
If you have a version earlier than 5.1.5 (find your In&box version in the Settings menu of your app), Wi-Fi access points with WEP protection and without password were not compatible. You will therefore need to download the latest update for your In&box before you can configure your WEP key Wi-Fi access point.
Set up my Wi-Fi access point manually
If you do not have a phone compatible with the "My In&box" mobile app, you can still configure your Wi-Fi access point on the In&box by following the manual procedure on your computer.
For this procedure, you will need your airbag system, the charged In&box, your computer, and the USB cable provided with the In&box.
Warning, this procedure must be performed using a Firefox or Google Chrome browser.
- Log in to your user account then go to your dashboard.
- Click on "Follow the detailed manual procedure here".
If the In&box is not yet activated
- Click "Start" and follow the procedure from beginning to end.
If the In&box is already activated
- You do not need to follow steps 1 to 5, start directly at step 6 "Enter your Wi-Fi network name".
Step 1: Enter the serial number of your In&motion airbag system
Located on the last label inside the airbag product (make sure to enter the number corresponding to In&motion).
Step 2: Enter the serial number of the In&box
Located on the label at the back of the In&box and starts with 54 or 63. Click "Validate" and download the activation file. Be careful not to rename this file and ensure it does not contain () or numbers (e.g., token.imu(1)).
Step 3: Turn on the In&box and connect it to your computer
Using the USB cable. A folder should appear with files.
Step 4: Drag and drop the activation file
Once the In&box is connected to your computer, drag and drop the activation file you just downloaded into the root of the In&box, that is directly into the open folder of the In&box. (Make sure to drop the file directly into this folder and not inside any other available folders).
Step 5: Unplug the In&box
The two blue LEDs indicate activation. If an error occurs, it is indicated by 3 successive red flashes.
Step 6: Enter your Wi-Fi network name
Enter your Wi-Fi network name, as well as the security key (or connection key). This data is not transmitted to our servers.
Be careful to enter your Wi-Fi network key exactly as shown on your Wi-Fi box (including uppercase letters).
Click "Validate" and download the configuration file. Be careful not to rename this file and ensure it does not contain () or numbers (e.g., wifi.cfg(1)).
Step 7: Turn on the In&box and connect it to your computer using the USB cable
A folder should appear with files.
Step 8: Drag and drop the configuration file
Once the In&box is connected to your computer, drag and drop the configuration file you just downloaded into the root of the In&box, that is directly into the open folder of the In&box. (Make sure to drop the file directly into this folder and not inside any other available folders).
Step 9: Unplug the In&box
The two blue LEDs indicate configuration. If an error occurs, it is indicated by 3 successive red flashes.
- The two upper LEDs flash blue alternately: the In&box is trying to connect to your Wi-Fi access point.
- The two upper LEDs flash blue simultaneously: the synchronization and update procedure is in progress.
Warning, do not turn off the In&box when the LEDs are blue!
Check the configuration of my Wi-Fi access point
Now, you can verify that your Wi-Fi is properly configured:
- Turn on the In&box
- Plug it in near your Wi-Fi access point using the supplied USB cable and a charger (not supplied). Make sure to plug it into mains power (wall outlet) and not via USB.
- The two upper LEDs flash blue alternately: the In&box is searching for Wi-Fi.
- The two upper LEDs flash blue simultaneously: synchronization and/or update is in progress. The configuration has therefore worked!
- The update will occur at the appropriate time: either by leaving your In&box plugged in, or when you unplug your In&box. At that time, the two upper LEDs will flash blue simultaneously faster. An update can take up to 2 minutes.
Warning: The In&box can be unplugged at any time, but be careful not to turn it off using the side switch during synchronization (two upper blue LEDs).
