GREEN network activity indicator—turns on when a cable connects the port to another Gigabit Ethernet port
YELLOW activity indicator—Flashes to indicate network activity over that port
M2COMM EF22-S2 Electronic Shelf Labeling System - Fig 6Plug one end of the supplied Cat 5E cable into the Access Point, the other end should be plugged into your computer.
M2COMM EF22-S2 Electronic Shelf Labeling System - Fig 7 Connect the supplied AC power adaptor as shown.
Use only the adapter that came with your Access Point

Router Setting
The Router(s) operate wirelessly, via the M2COMM proprietary protocol, with the Access Point and aisle light.
Please refer to below procedure to setup the Router.

Use only the adapter that came with your Router

ELSA-E Demo System IP setting:
The ELSA-E demo system is designed to use either a static IP address for a single Access Point or a dynamic IP address when multiple Access Points are installed.
IP Address Configuration (Static IP): Ensure that your Access Point is connected to your computer.
The Access Point comes pre-configured with a default IP Address (192.168.2.1). It’s necessary to modify the IP Address of the Ethernet port on your computer that is cabled to the M2COMM Access Point so that they can communicate with one another.

Check Use the following IP address and enter information shown above. Select OK to apply new settings

IP Address Configuration (Dynamic IP):
For installations that contain multiple Access Points an external TCP/IP Ethernet hub is required. And please contact
M2COMM for further details.

M2COMM ELSA-E Demo Installation:

Software Installation:
Put below two executable files into the same folder on your computer. And double-click the “ELSA1.0_2.x.x.xxxx.exe” file to begin the installation.

How to Display FCC ID Label(After certification, display it on the “Pairing Page)

  1. Wake Up the Tag: Ensure the EPD is not blank or shows a “sleep mark” (red/black square in the top-left corner).
    If “sleep mark” please activate wake-up mode from ELSA WEB until ED removes the “sleep mark.”M2COMM EF22-S2 Electronic Shelf Labeling System - Fig 41
  2. Switch Screens: Switch the EPD display to the “Pairing Page
    Select the ED from ELSA WEB, then click the “Show Barcode” button.
