Registering the ventilation unit in the MyVallox Cloud service

This section explains how to register the Vallox ventilation unit in the MyVallox Cloud service.

When the ventilation unit is connected to the MyVallox Cloud service, you can control ventilation remotely with a smartphone or tablet, for example. The unit software is updated automatically through the cloud service. To connect to the cloud service, the ventilation unit must be connected to the internet through LAN and registered for the cloud service. By registering the unit, you 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 router’s LAN port (usually numbered 1,2,3,4). The LAN port must not be bridged, i.e. it must share private IP addresses (addresses that begin with 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x).
    Tip:

    If the ventilation unit rejects the IP address and it is not possible to connect the unit to the intranet, go to the router settings and make sure the DHCP server is on and it is sharing private IP addresses (addresses that begin with 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x).

  2. Open the computer’s network settings by selecting Start > My Computer > Network. You can see a computer icon with the text Vallox and a series of numbers.
    OR

    Select on the MyVallox Control control panel Service menu > Unit information > IP address. Type in the IP address and press Enter.

  3. Open the MyVallox Home user interface by double-clicking on the icon.
  4. Select Special functions.
  5. Under Cloud service, you can see whether you are signed in to the MyVallox Cloud service.
