# Pairing a Wireless Tool to a Controller

The pairing of a Mechatronic Wrench to a controller is done differently than other wireless tools, and requires an MWRKit to be connected to the controller. Please refer to the tool's Product Instructions for more detailed information.

Before you start the pairing process:

- Make sure WLAN or Bluetooth is enabled in the Controller (Depending on the wireless tool you want to pair)

- Make sure there are pairing slots available (3 for WLAN and 6 for Bluetooth)

- Check which radio channel to use

- Check how to put the tool into pairing mode. See the STB user guide (9836 3043 01) for instructions on how to do this, or follow the instructions below

- If possible, have a clear line of sight between tool and controller

- Make sure no other tools are being paired with the controller at the same time

1. Enable the internal WLAN by going to the Settings > WLAN. Drag the Enabled switch to On

   If the WLAN Enabled switch is set to Off it is not possible to pair a tool to the controller. Tools already connected to the internal WLAN are disconnected when the Enabled switch is set to Off.

2. Set the radio channel to be used with the wireless tool. On the Home view, tap on Settings Tab, and click WLAN.

3. In the Radio channel area, tap the channel list and choose the appropriate channel.

   Changing the channel will permanently disconnect all wireless tools paired with the controller.

4. Return to the Home view, and tap on Tool Tab. Then, tap the pairing icon in the upper right corner.

5. Put the tool in pairing mode. See Putting the wireless tool into pairing mode.

6. In the Pairing dialog box, click Perform to start the pairing process.

7. The pairing process will end with one of the following results:

   - Pairing successful - The tool has been paired to the controller using the selected channel.

   - Pairing unsuccessful - This can be due to any of the following reasons:

     - No tool detected during the pairing process. Make sure the tool is in range and in pairing mode, and then click Close and try again.

     - More than one tool was found during the pairing process. Make sure no other tool is in pairing mode, and then click Close and try again.

     - Pairing already in progress. Make sure no one else is performing the pairing process on the controller, and then click Close and try again.

     - Pairing failed. Click Close and try again.

An IRC-W Infrastructure tool is a tool that is using the factory's wireless infrastructure to connect to the controller. The tool configurations, ADHOC or Infrastructure Mode, are set in ToolsTalk Service 2. A tool configured as an IRC-W Infrastructure tool can also connect as an ADHOC connected tool, using the controllers own built-in network. But when the tool restarts, it will revert to an IRC-W Infrastructure configured tool.
