XW-110™ WiFi Temperature Sensor Users Manual
Installation and Setup
2.3 Provisioning
After making the sensor connections and providing power, you must provision the XW-110 for use on
your wireless network. The goal is to configure the XW-110 such that it can recognize and attach to your
Wi-Fi access point. There are two methods for doing this:
1. Access Point
By default, the XW-110 comes up as a wireless access point when powered for the first time. Pressing
the "access point" push button any time also activates the access point mode. It isn't really an access
point because it will not provide internet connectivity to your computer or smart phone, but it will appear
as an access point meaning that your computer or smart phone will detect it as an access point and
display it as such. When acting as an access point, the XW-110 broadcasts an SSID of “XW110-
XXXXXX” where XXXXXX are the last six digits of its MAC address.
With your wireless device (laptop computer or smart phone) scan for, and attach to the XW110 wireless
network. Next, access the web server in the XW-110 using a web browser. To access the setup pages,
enter the following URL in the address bar of your web browser:
http://192.168.1.2/setup.html
After the page is requested, a password prompt will appear. Enter the username and password. The
username is
admin
and the password is
webrelay
(password is case sensitive). The next chapter
explains each of the setup tabs and screens. Use the
WiFi Networks
tab for making the proper settings
to allow the XW-110 to connect to your access point.
Notes About Access Point Mode:
•
Operates at full power and will consume large amounts of energy and drain batteries quickly. It
is recommended that you use a wall-transformer to power the unit when operating in access
point mode or configure the XW-110 quickly.
•
As an A
ccess Point
the XW-110 functions independently of other wireless networks. It
broadcasts beacons and services WiFi packet requests. In this mode, your computer or smart-
phone is "connected" directly with the XW-110 on a private network and is NOT using another
wifi network. Typically you would use this for configuration and not for normal operation.
•
The XW-110 has no hardware “restore defaults” button, to prevent the installer from being
locked out, the default username (
admin
) and password
(webrelay
) always work in the
access point mode, even if the password is changed. If the password has changed via the
Password
tab, both the new password and the
webrelay
password will work.
•
Only one client (computer or smart-phone) can be connected to XW-110 at a time.
•
SSID and password cannot be customized (once again this mode is intended for configuration
only).
•
Access point is unsecured and open.
2. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
The WPS
Push button method
, provides a simple method for attaching the XW-110 to a wireless
network without needing to use any setup pages. Although using this method to connect the XW-110 to
the network is simple, you will not be able to access the XW-110 web server unless you know the IP
address that was assigned by the DHCP sever (router) or unless mDNS services are available on your
device. For this reason, it is recommended that you use this method of configuration only when the XW-
110 units have been pre-configured to operate in a non-web-server mode or when you have full access
