Product Code: INT1-POE-DESKGoBright have released a PoE adapter for their Interact device. If you can't power the device over the 230V mains adapter, PoE is now here! As you can see, it comes with 3M adhesive to fix the device to a surface.This is the connection that needs to be plugged into the Interact device:You then have the expansion box:  Note: A network cable is not suppliedWe tested the device on the 12th of June 2024, using a "dumb" NETGEAR PoE switch and an Interact running Application Version 1.6.1. If you're using a managed switch, please ensure PoE is enabled on the port(s) that you connect the Interact(s) to. Some further photos that might help plan your installation:Important: When using Interacts, you must configure your firewall to allow outbound traffic over MQTT (port 8883) over TLS. NTP and DNS must also be correctly configured for the device to communicate with the GoBright platform. The firewall configuration can be found here.Please contact support@ascentae.com for any help.

Wi-Fi signal strength is measured in dBm, with values usually ranging from -30 dBm to -90 dBm. A value closer to 0 (e.g. -50 dBm) indicates a stronger, faster connection, while lower numbers (e.g. -80 dBm) indicates a weaker, slower, or unstable connection. -50 dBm to -60 dBm (Excellent/Good)-60 dBm to -70 dBm (Fair)-70 dBm to -80 dBm (Weak)-80 dBm to -90 dBm (Unusable)Walls and electronic interference will significantly drop the dBm value in your environment. Finding your dBm level on an InteractPress and hold the time in the top-right for a few secondsSelect open device infoHere you have 4 options on the left hand side.

There is a signal indicator that will fluctuate in real-time. Values between -50 dBm and -65 dBm are good.Important: Interacts operate on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. 5 Ghz is not supported.Still having issues? Check out our on site install guide here.
