Development Book V18: Connect IOT box to a network

The Odoo IoT Box, powered by a Raspberry Pi, serves as a bridge between Odoo ERP and external hardware devices such as printers and scanners. To enable smooth integration and operation, these devices must be connected to the IoT Box using either WiFi or an Ethernet cable.

To connect a new IoT Box, you can choose between Ethernet or WiFi. Begin by connecting all necessary devices to the IoT Box and turning it on.

For an Ethernet setup, establish the connection by entering the pairing code, which will either appear on a screen or be printed by a receipt printer connected to the IoT Box.

Enter the given pairing code into the popup window that appears after clicking the Connect button on the IoT module dashboard.

The initial setup process is the same for a WiFi connection. Before turning on the IoT Box, ensure all devices are properly connected. Then, click the Connect button to retrieve the pairing token.

Once connected, you’ll be redirected to the IoT Box homepage. If the redirection doesn't occur, you can manually access it by entering the box’s IP address in your browser. Then, paste the token into the Server Token field and provide a name for the IoT Box to easily identify it later.
