XW-112™ Wi-Fi Water Detector Users Manual
Installation and Setup
2.3 Provisioning
After making the sensor connections and providing power, you must provision the XW-112 to use it on
your wireless network. The goal is to configure the XW-112 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-112 comes up as a wireless access point when powered for the first time. Pressing
the "access point" 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-112 broadcasts an SSID of “XW112-XXXXXX” where
XXXXXX are the last six digits of its MAC address.
With your wireless device (laptop computer or smart phone) scan for, and connect to the XW112
wireless network. Next, using a web browser, access the XW-112's setup pages, by entering 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-112 to connect to your access point.
Notes About Access Point Mode:
•
As an “access point,” the XW-112 functions independently of other wireless networks. It
broadcasts beacons and services Wi-Fi packet requests. In this mode, your computer or smart-
phone is "connected" directly with the XW-112 on a private network and is NOT using another
Wi-Fi network. Typically you would use this for configuration and not for normal operation.
•
The XW-112 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 the XW-112 at a time.
•
SSID and password cannot be customized (once again this mode is intended for configuration
only).
•
Access point is unsecured and open.
