Registering the ventilation unit with the MyVallox Cloud service

This chapter describes how to register a Vallox ventilation unit with the MyVallox Cloud service.

When the ventilation unit is connected to the MyVallox Cloud service, ventilation can be controlled also remotely using a smart phone or a tablet. Also the unit software is updated automatically through the cloud service. To connect to the cloud service, the ventilation unit must be connected to a computer and registered with the cloud service. At the same time, you will create a MyVallox Cloud account for yourself.

To register a Vallox ventilation unit with the MyVallox Cloud service:

  1. Connect one end of the network cable to the grey connector of the Vallox ventilation unit and the other end to the LAN port of the router (usually marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4). The LAN port should not be bridged, i.e. it should share private IP addresses (addresses beginning with 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, or 192.168.x.x).
    Tip: If the ventilation unit rejects the IP address and cannot connect to the house network, check the router settings to make sure the DHCP server is turned on and is sharing private IP addresses (addresses beginning with 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, or 192.168.x.x).
  2. Open the network settings on the computer by selecting Start > My Computer > Network. A computer icon with the text Vallox and a series of numbers will be displayed.
