The following terminology is used:
• Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This
indicates the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router
being received by the scanning device (i.e.,
smart phone). So the higher the RSSI number (or
less negative in some devices), the stronger the
signal.
• Internet Protocol Address (IP address). This is
an address assigned by your home router for
each network device (e.g., computer, printer,
thermostat).
Connection to Lennox server from your In-
ternet provider may take up to 4-5 minutes
depending on your Wi-Fi speed connec-
tion speed and how busy the server may
be.
