Connecting to the

 oDSS

 

The 

oDSS

 can be run on any browser and Wi-Fi-enabled device. You can use both your smartphone or 

your laptop. 

To connect to the

 oDSS,

 the first step is to activate the Wi-Fi hotspot on your MFD15 Gen2. To 

activate, both buttons (L+R) or the rotary potentiometer must be held down when the ignition is 
switched on. The display will then show you two QR codes one after the other.  

The first QR code is used to connect your device to the hotspot, the second QR code opens the 
address of the MFD15 hotspot in your browser. Please wait some seconds after scanning the first QR-
Code for the device to switch to the second one. 

If you cannot scan the QR codes, the name (MFD15) and password (12345678) of the hotspot, as well 
as IP address (192.168.4.1) for the 

oDSS

 are displayed below the QR codes, so that you can also 

connect via the normal Wi-Fi menu and the browser. 

If the connection is successful, the 

topbar

 is now permanently displayed and the Wi-Fi icon is 

displayed in green.  

ATTENTION:

 If you are connected to the MFD15 hotspot, you will no longer have 

regular Internet 

reception

. If you want to update the data display or upload your own image, the files must 

first

 be 

stored locally

 on your device and can no longer be downloaded from the cloud or similar online 

services. 

Some phones might not be able to connect to the device if the GSM/3G/4G/5G has an active 
connection, so you might have to temporarily disconnect the cellular network on the phone.
