1 – You will need to turn on your device
You will need to connect your panel to power via PoE (or a power adaptor) and it will then turn on automatically. If you are using a BXP-320 Box PC you will need to connect the supplied power adapter.

You will need to navigate to Settings, then network & internet. Once here, select WiFi and select the desired network, fill in the credentials to connect to the internet.
