Installing and Using the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Part 2: Setup Wizard

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid goes through the Setup Wizard that appears when you first use a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. This Setup Wizard is very helpful, as it covers the initial setup process. Some parts of the Setup Wizard will require the system to be monitored, though this is optional.

Going through the Setup Wizard for the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System is optional. You can technically set everything up through the regular system menus. But the Setup Wizard is nice, as it puts everything in one convenient spot. The typical end user should have no trouble completing the Setup Wizard, as it is very simple and easy.

There are many tasks you can complete using the Setup Wizard. One of which is connecting the system to a WIFI network. The system uses WIFI connectivity for connecting with Alarm.com. It also uses cellular communication for this purpose. Remember, you must activate the cellular communicator to use the IQ Panel 2 with Alarm.com. You cannot use connect the IQ Panel 2 with Alarm.com through WIFI alone. You will need to provide the IMEI number for the system to your alarm monitoring company to activate the cellular communicator.

Another thing you will do using the Setup Wizard is enroll sensors. The system uses sensors to determine when certain actions occur in your home or business. When enrolling sensors, you should make sure to have a good understanding of the Sensor Groups you use. The Sensor Groups determine how the system responds when sensors are faulted or activated. You need to make sure you choose the proper Sensor Groups, or else the system will not work the way you want it to.

You can also use the Setup Wizard to add new user codes to the system. This can be be helpful if you have multiple people using the system, and you don't want them to share codes. It is recommended that you change the Master Code away from its default of 1234. You should choose a new Master Code that you can easily remember, but others are unlikely to guess.
