Check your setup

A powered-on device or a connected status does not mean setup is finished. Use the check for your device below.

Before testing, confirm the device still shows the Canada settings or your community's settings.

Companion

1. Reboot after the last radio-setting change.
2. Send an advert.
3. Ask a nearby user with a known-good device to confirm that the advert appears.
4. Exchange a test message when another user is available.

The companion is ready

A nearby known-good device sees the advert, and the two devices can exchange a test message.

If the advert is missing, compare radio and path settings before reflashing.

Repeater

1. Keep the repeater accessible on the bench.
2. Reboot it and confirm the intended settings remain.
3. Send an advert from the repeater.
4. Confirm a nearby known-good companion receives it.
5. Repeat the check after any antenna, power, or installation change.

The repeater is ready

The repeater retains its settings and a nearby known-good companion receives its advert.

Keep it off hard-to-reach spots until the bench check passes.

Room server

1. Reboot the room server.
2. Send its advert.
3. Confirm a nearby companion discovers it.
4. Enter using the guest credentials.
5. Confirm the administrator still has maintenance access.

The room server is ready

A companion discovers the room and guest access works without exposing the administrator credentials.

Observer

1. Create nearby mesh activity with a known-good device.
2. Confirm the observer radio is using matching settings.
3. Open CoreScope Observers.
4. Find your observer and check for recent activity.
5. Use Check your observer for the full health checklist.

The observer is working

Your observer appears in CoreScope and shows recent activity after a nearby transmission.

An online broker connection alone is not the final check.

If a check fails

If the check passes, you're done. If it does not, get help and describe what was missing.
