Description
The Advisor™One self-contained lifestyle management and security system detects situations and provides control and information
to home and small business owners (P/N AVO-1037).
This document provides instructions on installing and programming the AdvisorOne Bluetooth Wi-Fi module (P/N AVO-BTWIFI) for
use with the AdvisorOne panel.
The AdvisorOne Bluetooth Wi-Fi module extends the capability of interfacing with the AdvisorOne system. The module’s Wi-Fi
capability enables wireless Ethernet connections to a router and/or provides wireless Ethernet connection to touchscreens and IP
cameras. The module’s Bluetooth capability enables mobile device access and control.
Preparation and Installation
Preparing to Install the Bluetooth Wi-Fi Module
WARNING: Use caution when installing or removing the power supply to an outlet with a metal cover.
1. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to contact the central monitoring station before starting the installation.
2. If power supply is present, remove the screw from the securement tab and unplug the power supply.
3. Remove the screw securing the panel chassis. Open the panel by pressing down on the tabs and carefully swing the panel
chassis open.

CAUTION: Use static electricity precautions when handling electronic components.
4. Disconnect the battery from the battery connector (E in Figure 2) by pressing down on the wire end of the battery clip.
5. Remove the Communication Modules Cover by pulling outward on the tabs (F in Figure 2) and then lifting upward when tabs
release.
6. To access the location of the Bluetooth Wi-Fi module, remove the System Electronics Cover (this is the cover with a printed
wiring diagram) by pulling outward on the tabs (C in Figure 2), then disengaging the latch (D in Figure 2) with a small
screwdriver and lifting the cover upward when the latch releases.
Installing the Bluetooth Wi-Fi Module
1. Install the Bluetooth Wi-Fi module (A in Figures 1 and 3) into the Bluetooth Wi-Fi module location (with the bar code label side
up). Carefully align the header of the module (B in Figures 1 and 3) with the pins on the main circuit board. Press into place.
Note: The Bluetooth Wi-Fi module must be installed on the main board in the Bluetooth Wi-Fi location (A in Figure 3). DO NOT
force the module into place.
2. Reinstall the System Electronics Cover, making sure the tabs (C in Figure 2) and the latch (D in Figure 2) are engaged.
3 Reinstall the Communication Modules Cover by pressing the cover down until the tabs (F in Figure 2) snap into place.
Note: All three internal covers must be secured for proper operation.
4. Supply power to the panel as noted in Table 2.

Note
US
Plug the power supply into the outlet and secure with the supplied screw.
Canada
Plug the power supply into the outlet.
Do not use the securement tab and screw.
All Other Installations
Follow regional requirements.
Note: Connect the battery within 15 seconds of providing AC power to reduce the potential for a low battery indication.
5. Connect the battery to the battery connector on the panel (E in Figure 2).
Note: The cable connector locks into place.
6 Close the panel, making sure all tabs are engaged. Replace the screw securing the panel chassis.
7. If the central monitoring station was notified, inform them this operation is complete.
Module Configuration and Programming
Module Configuration – Wi-Fi Capability
1. Press the Settings icon on the lower left of the AdvisorOne main screen.
2. Press CONFIGURATION to enter programming. Enter installer or dealer code.
3. From the Configuration & Programming screen, press COMMUNICATION.
4. From the Communication screen, press INTERFACES.
For Wireless WAN
5a. From the Interface Communication screen, for press EDIT next to Wireless WAN. The following is displayed:
Table 2: Wi-Fi Wireless WAN Options
Option
Description
Name
Change the name of the Wi-Fi WAN interface. Optional, not recommended.
Line Fault
Sets the condition that if Wi-Fi connection fails, if the panel treats the loss as a fault or ignores it.
Recommended to leave as Off (default) unless high security monitoring of Wi-Fi link is needed.
Wi-Fi Client
Configuration
This setting enables a Wi-Fi connection from the panel to a router for WAN access. Enabling this
selection will cause the SSID and credential information for a network to join to be accessible.

Option
Description
Configuration Type
Selects how the AdvisorOne will obtain an IP address from the router; Dynamic causes the router to
supply an IP address dynamically from its DHCP pool. Static allows for the AdvisorOne to be placed
at specific, static IP address. Default is dynamic and most typically used.
DNS Configuration
Allows for the Dynamic Name Service to be dynamically accessed or to a static location.
Wireless LAN/Access Point
5b. From the Interface Communication screen, for press EDIT next to LAN Wi-Fi Access Point. The following is
displayed:
Table 3: Wi-Fi Access Point
Option
Description
Name
Change the name of the Wi-Fi LAN interface. Optional, not recommended.
Channel
This allows for selection of alternate Wi-Fi channels. Change this field if other networking devices at
homes sit on the same channel as the AdvisorOne LAN. Two devices near each other can reduce
performance.
6. Press CLOSE and return to the Interface configuration screen.
Module Configuration – Bluetooth Capability
No module configuration is required (i.e. no visibility timeout, pairing options etc.).
Programming
The Wi-Fi capability of the module can be programmed to support two distinct purposes:
• Provide a wireless WAN connection to a router. This allows the AdvisorOne system to be located at a distance from an Internet
connected 802.11BGN router. Note: In order for the Wi-Fi module to interface to a router, the credentials of the wireless router
must be available (SSID, encryption key, etc.). For more information on how to program the Wi-Fi capability to interface to a
router, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).
• Provide wireless LAN/ Access Point of IP devices which the AdvisorOne system can utilize. This wireless LAN/Access Point is
independent from the home router network. The credentials of the wireless LAN provided by the Wi-Fi capability are hidden.
The Wi-Fi capability will support connection to Advisor Touchscreens over Wi-Fi and/or approved wireless IP cameras. For
more information on how to program the Wi-Fi capability to interface to a wireless IP device such as IP cameras or
touchscreens, refer to the AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).
The Bluetooth capability of the module can be programmed to support key fob-like capability on a mobile device (Smartphone).
Note: The AdvisorSync Mobile software must be loaded onto the mobile device. For more information regarding loading
AdvisorSync Mobile, refer to the AdvisorSync Mobile Remote Installation Sheet (P/N 466-4424).
For more information on how to program the Bluetooth capability to work with AdvisorSync for Mobile Devices, refer to the
AdvisorOne Panel Install & Programming Manual (P/N 466-4405).
Troubleshooting
If The Module Doesn’t Configure or Appear Operational
• Verify the module is installed in the panel correctly, in the proper location and that the pins on the circuit board are aligned
properly with the header on the main circuit board.
• If these steps fail, try replacing the module devices or contact Interlogix Technical Support.
• If Wi-Fi is not operational for wireless WAN and a connection is not established, check the credentials for the router (i.e. verify
correct SSID is selected, and ensure the correct password/passphrase is used). Additionally, if range is too far, try reducing the
distance between the panel and router.
• If Wi-Fi is not operational for wireless LAN/Access Point is not operational, check to see if other devices (cameras, Advisor
TouchScreens) are operating properly. Additionally, try changing the Access Point channel if there is potential overlap with
other Wi-Fi networks in the area.

• If range is limited, try replacing with a mobile device with longer range Bluetooth capability. Contact Interlogix Technical
Support.
If The Module Appears Operational, but Devices Connected To It Are Not
• The programming for the device (ie., SmartPhone or IP Camera, etc.) is most likely incomplete or failed or had an issue. Repeat
the device learn in process again. If failure continues, contact Ingterlogix technical Support.
