Connecting a controller
Connect a new controller and approve it in Tillor, so guests can use their tag with it.
Last updated on
A new controller only works for your organisation once you have approved it. This is called adoption: you tell Tillor that this unit belongs to your park. After that you can give it a type and a group, see Managing a controller.
Before you start:
- You have power and a network (cable or Wi-Fi) at the spot where the controller will go.
- If you use Wi-Fi, you have the network name and password to hand.
- Preferably open Tillor on the same network as the controller. Otherwise you may not see its request.
Connecting and approving the controller
Connect the controller
Plug in the power. The screen shows Connecting... and then what is still missing.
Give it a network
Plug in the network cable. The controller connects by itself, you do not need to set anything up.
Open Controllers in Tillor
Go to ControllersOverview. As soon as the controller has a connection, it appears in the list with the message Pending approval. The controller's screen shows Activate controller with the device number. That number is the , the unit's serial number. Check that it is the same as in the list.
Click Approve
Click the tick (Approve) in the row. Tillor reports Approved and the controller is added to your organisation.
What happens next?
- The controller's screen shows Scan QR and Scan your tag. It is ready for use.
- Tillor automatically sends the connection details and settings to the controller. You do not need to fill in anything.
- Its first scan creates the tag in Tillor, if it was not there yet.
- With the cross (Reject) you reject a request. The controller then gets no access to your organisation.
- If you put a controller away later or replace it, delete it, see Managing a controller. It can then make a new request.
