OX Hardware Registration
Overview
To enable the OX app, the OX hardware needs to be registered with Universal Audio, and the OX hardware must be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi to register. After registration is complete, the OX app can access and control all available OX settings. This section will guide you through the Wi-Fi and registration process.
Note: The OX registration process needs to be completed only once.
During registration, you’ll use the OX app to control OX’s network settings and connect OX to an external Wi-Fi network. Registration occurs automatically when the OX hardware and the OX app are both connected to the external Wi-Fi network at the same time.
Note: The existing external Wi-Fi network must be connected to the internet to complete registration.
OX Registration Procedure
Important: In the following instructions, the “OX app device” is the iPad or Mac/Windows computer that runs the OX software, not the OX app itself.
To register OX:
1. Pair the OX app device with OX’s Wi-Fi hotspot. Go to the Wi-Fi system settings within the OX app device (the iPad or Mac/Windows computer system settings, not settings within the OX app), then select OX’s Wi-Fi hotspot and enter the unique hotspot password on OX's rear panel.

(example only – every unit has a unique name and password)
2. Pair OX to an external Wi-Fi network. Open the OX app and press “Find My OX” to display the available Wi-Fi network names. Choose a network from the list, enter its password, then press OK. Windows 10 users: Allow access if a Windows Security Alert appears (see note and screenshot below).
Tip: Enter the external Wi-Fi network password, not OX’s hotspot password.

Windows 10 Note: The first time you click "Find My Ox" in the OX app, the Windows Security Alert shown below may appear. To proceed, check the box next to "Private networks, such as my home or work network" then click the "Allow access" button. The alert only appears once.

3. Pair the OX app device to the same external Wi-Fi network as OX. Go to the Wi-Fi system settings within the OX app device (the iPad or Mac/Windows computer system settings, not settings within the OX app), and pair the device to the same external Wi-Fi network that was selected for OX in step two.
Tip: Enter the external Wi-Fi network password, not OX’s hotspot password.
4. Open the OX app and complete registration. The OX app takes you to the OX registration web pages, and they will guide you. Press “Create an account” if you don’t already have one (or login if you do). After account creation or login, OX is registered automatically.
When you see the confirmation page, registration is complete. Return to the OX app, then press Find My OX again and you’ll have complete access to all OX controls.
