How do I change the KTS200's broadcast name and connection password?
On the KTS200 the device's Bluetooth broadcast name and connection password can be set by the user. These settings are made from the settings section of the free web application you connect to over Bluetooth. Changing the broadcast name lets you find your own device quickly in crowded camp sites, while changing the password ensures that only authorised people can move the jacks.
Be sure to configure these two settings to suit yourself at first installation:
- Broadcast name: Devices left with the factory name cause confusion in areas where two caravans using the same brand of system are parked side by side. Give it a name specific to your vehicle that you will recognise.
- Connection password: Moving the jacks is a physical operation; unauthorised access is a safety issue. Be sure to change the default password and avoid predictable combinations.
Steps: connect to the device with the web application, go into the settings section, define the new broadcast name and the new password and save. After the change the device starts broadcasting under its new name; if an old connection record remains on phones connected previously, delete it and reconnect.
A few suggestions:
- Keep the password written down somewhere in the caravan that is accessible but not visible; a forgotten password costs time in the field.
- When selling or handing over the vehicle, reconfigure the password and the broadcast name.
- Remember that people without access to the password cannot move the jacks; this is not a limitation but a deliberate security feature.
If you end up unable to access the password, parameter intervention can be made through remote support.
