Bluetooth Access

Both myBOX IPC and myPANEL provide Bluetooth access after a reboot or power cycle. This allows you to connect to the device in an emergency using your phone or laptop — even when normal network access is unavailable.

How it works

Bluetooth connectivity is available for approximately 3 minutes after powering on the device. Use this window to connect before it closes.

Connecting from a phone

1. Power on (or reboot) the device.
2. On your phone, open Bluetooth settings and scan for devices.
3. Select myBOX IPC or myPANEL and pair.
4. Disable all internet access (Wi-Fi and LTE) on your phone before connecting — this is required so your phone routes traffic through the Bluetooth connection instead.
5. The device is then reachable at:
   • Manager: 172.16.44.1:34022
   • HMI: 172.16.44.1:80

Connecting from a laptop (Windows)

The process is the same as on a phone, with one additional step to obtain an IP address:

1. Pair with myBOX IPC or myPANEL in Windows Bluetooth settings.
2. Open Bluetooth & devices → find the paired device → click Connect using → select Access point (or enable PAN network under the Bluetooth device).
3. Windows will obtain an IP address via the Bluetooth PAN connection.
4. The device is then reachable at 172.16.44.1 on port 34022 (Manager) or 80 (HMI).
