DST Bias

: The amount of time in minutes the clocks change 

when DST starts. For example, enter 60 if clocks move 

forward 1 hour when DST starts. Enter -60 if clocks move 

backward 1 hour when DST starts.

DHCP

: The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 

setting indicates whether the device attempts to get an 

address from a DHCP server when it joins the network or 

uses a static IP configuration. When turned off, the IP 

configuration is defined by the Static IP, Subnet Mask, DNS 

Server IP, and Gateway IP settings. The default value is true.

Static IP

: The IP address used by the device when DHCP is 

turned off. This is not used when DHCP is turned on. The 

default value is 0.0.0.0.

Gateway IP

: The gateway IP address used when DHCP is 

turned off. This is not used when DHCP is turned on. The 

default value is 0.0.0.0.

Subnet Mask

: The subnet mask used when DHCP is turned off. 

This is not used when DHCP is turned on. The default value 

is 255.255.255.0.

DNS Server IP

: The DNS (Domain Name System) server to be 

used when DHCP is false. The default value is 0.0.0.0.

Custom NTP Time Server

: The hostname or IP address of the 

internal or external SNTP time server in use. This field is 

required. The server is accessed using UDP on port 123. If 

using an external server, make the proper firewall exceptions 

to allow access.

Setting DST Mode By Day: Example

You can use these sample network settings if your region starts 

and ends daylight-saving time on a specific day of the week. For 

example, when clocks move forward one hour, and daylight-

saving time starts at 02:00 on the second Sunday in March and 

ends at 02:00 on the first Sunday in November.

Loading OAuth Values

The vívohub configuration utility loads the required OAuth 

values from an encrypted file. Garmin generates the encrypted 

file and provides it to the vívohub administrator.

1

Download and install the vívohub configuration utility.

2

Select 

Load OAuth

.

3

Select the .enc file provided by Garmin.
The OAuth credentials are populated in the configuration 

utility.

Connecting the Device to External Power

1

Plug the micro-USB connector into the micro-USB port on the 

device.

2

Plug the USB connector into an AC adapter or USB hub.

NOTE: 

See 

vívohub Specifications

 for power requirements.

3

Plug the AC adapter into a standard wall outlet.

The device turns on automatically.

Joining an Existing Wireless Network

1

Configure network settings (

Configuring Network Settings

).

2

Connect the device to external power.

3

Wait until the red LED is off and the green LED repeatedly 

flashes double-blinks.
The device joins an existing wireless network and is ready to 

receive data from compatible activity trackers.

Receiving Data Wirelessly

The device receives data from compatible activity trackers using 

ANT low power wireless technology. The device scans for the 

periodic beacons of activity trackers within range (10 m). These 

beacons are unique from other nearby wireless devices.
When a compatible activity tracker is detected, the device 

establishes a connection and downloads updated time and 

settings data to the activity tracker. The device uploads activity 

files from the activity tracker and transfers the files to Garmin 

Connected Services over a wireless network. The device 

disconnects from the activity tracker when the data transfer is 

complete and resumes scanning for other compatible activity 

trackers.

Installation Considerations

Number of vívohub Devices Required

The number of devices required depends on your building layout 

and how often users expect to sync activity data. Garmin 

recommends installing 1 device for every 50 to 100 users.
Multiple vívohub devices can join the same wireless network.

User Expectations

Users who require immediate feedback may want to know 

where the vívohub devices are installed to allow for intentional 

syncing.

Building Layout and User Traffic

Devices should be installed in locations that users pass by at 

least once per day. Garmin recommends obtaining a layout 

drawing of your building and marking potential installation 

locations where users regularly pass by. If users are frequently 

away from the workplace for extended periods of time, devices 

should be installed in areas such as break rooms where users 

linger for more than 20 seconds (

Sync Times

).

Sync Range

Installation is most effective when the devices are located with a 

clear line of sight to users walking by. Devices should be 

installed within 10 m (30 ft.) of user traffic, and they should be 

installed in locations where users walk toward the devices. The
