MIOS user's manual version
Installation and System Requirements
If you haven't done so already, go ahead and connect the MiOS system to your home network now as shown:
Once all 3 lights are lit up as shown, and not blinking, click "Continue" to begin setting up your MiOS system.
If you cannot get the ETH1 and ZWave indicators to light up solid or need to change advanced settings, like setting a static IP, see troubleshooting. Otherwise, once the ETH1 and ZWave indicators are lit up you will need to use a web browser to setup and use your MiOS system. All modern browsers should work fine so long as you have not disabled javascript or cookies. MiOS is tested for compatibility with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Apple Safari, and Google Chrome.
MiOS's "Quick Start Guide" will direct you to visit http://micasaverde.com/vera2. That page shows you the connection diagram above and tests to ensure that your MiOS system is connected and working before guiding you through the next steps including registering for a myMiOS account at mios.com.
If you do not have an internet connection you can still use MiOS. You will lose the ability to remotely access your MiOS system over the internet and use the other online services, but all other features work fine with or without an internet connection. To use the MiOS system without an internet connection, after powering on the MiOS system when the ZWave indicator comes on solid, which indicates that the MiOS system is ready, you will see the ETH1 indicator doing a double blink pattern. This indicates that your MiOS system is running without an internet connection. Connect your computer's network cable to the MiOS's ETH2 port, or, if your computer has Wi-Fi, you can scan for available wireless networks and you will see MiOS's wireless network, which starts with the system. When you can connect wirelessly you will need to provide the Wi-Fi password which is printed on the underneath side of your MiOS system. If you are connecting to your MiOS system this way, without internet, then skip the next section which discusses the online myMiOS service, and go straight to the Setup Wizard.
