Overview

GrandCare systems require continuous, uninterrupted access to the Internet. Internet access is required to provide Caregivers with access to the system's readings and communications features, and to allow the alerts to be sent. Access can be wireless, or through an Ethernet cable. Access does not have to be high-speed, but it must be continuous. Internet setup must be done at the system, and in the residence where the system will be kept.

  • At the Touchscreen, press the Gear icon to open the System screen
  • Enter the system's PIN - the PIN is initially set in the Care Menu Advanced System settings

  • Plug in the Ethernet cable, then press the "Wired Ethernet" button
