When a Bluetooth Bridge order is placed with Primex, each bridge must be configured to add it to your OneVue account.
If Device Preconfiguration was not selected when an order was placed, when a Bridge arrives at your facility it's required to configured onsite with the OneVue Wired Device Configurator (OWDC) app. During OWDC configuration, the Bridge is added to your OneVue account.
The following details what's required to configure a Bridge with the OWDC app.
OWDC app installed on your Android mobile device: download the OWDC app from the Google Play Store. Search for the OneVue Wired Device Configurator.
Android mobile device requirements: Android OS version 4.4 or later. Minimum 25% battery life remaining. Device must support USB Host or USB OTG mode. To verify USB support, check with the Android device manufacturer.
App login: your OneVue user profile must be assigned to the Account Admin role. You will log in to the app with your OneVue user name (email address) and password.
-
Connection cable (not supplied): the cable connects the Primex device to your Android device and also provides the power source to the Primex device during configuration.
A Bridge has a USB Mini B (5 pin) connector interface and requires either a Mini-USB to Micro USB OTG adapter cable or Mini-USB to USB C adapter cable.
Note
Cables can be purchased from Primex. Contact Primex Technical Support to verify the cable required for your application use. Part No. NTUSBADAPTER Mini-Din, USB-C, USB T-adapter. Part No. Q13797 USB to Mini cable.

OneVue Network Profile: during configuration, the Bridge is assigned to an existing Network Profile.
From the OWDC app, you cannot create a new Network Profile. Before you begin, from OneVue verify a Network Profile exists or create a new Network Profile. From OneVue, go to Devices > Networks. To create a new network, from the bottom section select +New.
For a Non-DHCP network, during configuration you are required to provide the device's static IP address.
New Clock Time Zone: the time zone that Sync Bluetooth Clocks are set to the first time they connect to the Sync Bluetooth mesh network. When set to Default, clocks are set to the time zone set in your OneVue account profile.
Device Name: its unique name, which commonly identifies its install location.
Business Unit: the OneVue Business Unit assigned to the Bridge. From the app, you cannot create a new Business Unit.
