Updated today

Configuring the Controller

Step 1: Connect the controller to the Flight modem via Ethernet.

Step 2: From the display panel on the front of the controller, click the blue Setup/Run button.

Step 3: From the Home Setup menu, use the yellow buttons on either side of the screen to navigate the menu tabs. Navigate to: Configuration β†’ Network

Step 4: In the Network menu, select the DHCP tab and set it to disabled.

Step 5: Using the blue Back button, return to the Network menu and select the Settings tab. Fill in the following settings for the corresponding tabs on screen:

IP Address: 192.168.50.5

IP Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.50.1

PRI DNS: 8.8.8.8

HTTP Remote: Enabled

Leave the rest of the options their default value

Note: If you have multiple controllers connected to a modem, you will need to change the IP Address to one that is not already being used. Flight modems come preconfigured to use IP address in the range of 192.168.50.5 – 192.168.50.8

The controller is now configured to communicate with the modem. No further action is needed on the controller.

Connecting to WebAdvantage

Steps 1 - 4 are for only if you do not have an existing WebAdvanatage account. If you already have an account, skip to Step 5.

Step 1: To connect your controller to WebAdvantage, first, go to https://webadvantage.online

Step 2: If you do not already have an account, you must make one. You will need the serial number off the sticker on the side of the controller when registering a new account and also a phone number to receive a verification text. Once you have filled out the required fields, submit the information.

Step 3: After submitting your account information, you must send an email to support@advantagecontrols.com to have your account activated. In the email, provide your User ID (the email you used to register), controller serial number, and the phone number you used to register.

Note: It can take up to 24 hours to receive a response.

Step 4: Once you receive a response from Advantage, your account should now be activated.

Note: You must be assigned the role of Admin to add devices. The User role does not have the privileges to add devices.

Step 5: Log into your account at https://webadvantage.online and navigate to the Administration tab at the top left of the page and click manage devices.

Step 6: In the panel titled Add or Edit Devices, fill out the fields, being sure to include a Name and the Serial Number of the device.

Step 7: Submit the information and the controller should be added to your account.
