Starting the Setup Process

This article walks you through connecting your Roca Sifter to the internet and registering it to your account.

You can connect your Roca Sifter using either Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet connection. Ethernet is recommended when available for the most reliable connection.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

  • Your Roca Sifter
  • Power brick and power cord
  • Access to a power outlet
  • Ethernet cable, if connecting by Ethernet
  • Wi-Fi network name and password, if connecting by Wi-Fi
  • A phone, tablet, or computer
  • Access to your Scan & Identify account

Place the Roca Sifter near an Ethernet jack or in an area with a strong Wi-Fi signal before starting setup.

 

Step 1: Unbox the Roca Sifter

Remove the Roca Sifter from the box by gripping the protective bag and lifting the device out.

Place the Sifter on a stable, flat surface with enough room to open the lid and access the back of the device.

 

Step 2: Remove the Included Components

Open the lid by pressing the button on the right side of the Roca Sifter.

Remove the following items from inside the device:

  • Power brick
  • Power cord
  • Card weight
  • Card hopper

Set these aside while you complete setup.

 

Step 3: Connect Power

  1. Connect the power cord to the power brick.
  2. Plug the barrel jack into the back of the Roca Sifter.
  3. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

The light on the front of the Roca Sifter should begin flashing blue and then turn solid blue.

If the light does not turn on automatically, press the power button on the top of the Roca Sifter.

 

Option A: Connect by Ethernet

Use this option if you have access to a wired network connection.

  1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the Roca Sifter.
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your router, switch, or wall Ethernet jack.
  3. Wait for the Roca Sifter to connect to the internet.

When the device is successfully connected, the front light will turn green and the Sifter will play a chime.

Once the device is online, continue to the Register Your Roca Sifter section below.

 

Option B: Connect by Wi-Fi

Use this option if you are connecting the Roca Sifter to a wireless network.

Note: For best results when using a smartphone or other cellular device for WiFi setup, place the device in airplane mode in the settings section of the device.

Put the Sifter into setup mode

Press the setup button on the back of the Roca Sifter. The front light will begin flashing green.

The setup button only requires a short press. Holding it for 3 seconds will factory reset the device and is not recommended.

Connect to the temporary Sifter Wi-Fi network

On your phone, tablet, or computer, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the Roca Sifter setup network.

The network name will appear as:

Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the Roca Sifter to your home or business Wi-Fi network.

Confirm the Sifter is connected

After setup is complete, wait for the front light to turn green and listen for the chime. This confirms the Roca Sifter is connected to the internet.

Note: It can take up to 60 seconds after entering the network password before you hear the chime, please be patient.

After the Sifter connects, reconnect your phone, tablet, or computer to your regular home or business Wi-Fi network.
