The SLATE106 device pairing is the process to link a SLATE106 device to a SMH300 device.
A SLATE106 device can be paired to only one SMH300.
If a ‘new’ SMH300 device tries to pair a SLATE which is already paired to another SMH300
device, the SLATE106 device will be paired to the new one and unpair automatically from
the previous SMH300 one.
To prevent from unexpected SLATE106 device pairing to another SMH300 by another user, a
pin code authentication can be used. The PIN code can be changed only when a first pairing
has been successful.
To be detected by the SMH300 device (and be paired afterwards), the SLATE106 must
advertise at least once.
By default, a SLATE106 device is in sleep mode meaning
o
Low power mode (= no activity)
o
Wake-up every 15 minutes (making at that moment a BLE “advertising”).
1)
Connect to SMH300 WebUI, and in menu
Maintenance
, activate ‘
Slate pairing
’ mode then wait until your
SLATE106 devices are detected. When detected you should be able to see the PSN of your SLATE106 device.
To activate the ‘
Slate pairing
’ mode of your SMH300 refer to SMH300 installation guide and/or WebUI user manual.
Warning: this mode
Slate pairing
must be used only for the installation, paring and configuration of your SLATE106
device. Indeed, in this mode, they can’t upgrade their image content or upgrade their software.
2)
Select the SLATE106 devices that need to be paired to this SMH300 in the left list, and drop it into the right
list ‘
Paired Slates
’.
3)
In the right list, assign each identifier to each SLATE106, by moving the position of each SLATE106 devices by
a drag’n drop according to the association table you have done in your table above
4)
Change
the
hostname
,
the
test card
activation/inactivation
The ‘
State
’ column informs whether the SLATE106 has properly taken its new configuration.
Important:
5)
Once your SMH300 configuration is completed, in device SMH300 WebUI:
deactivate the test card for all the SLATE106 and
deactivate ‘
Slate pairing
’ mode of your SMH300 (to be able to upload again pictures on SLATE106
device.
6)
In case you want to set a PIN code, once first paring has been successful, double click and change
the
authentication method
to pin code,
the 4 digits
PIN code
value
To avoid waiting 15 minutes until the SLATE106 advertises, you can connect 2 seconds to the SLATE106 device an USB cable connected to
a computer (or an USB power bank) which is waking up the SLATE106 device so that it can advertise immediately
Don’t forget to disconnect it immediately after the 2 seconds
.
To evaluate the signal connection quality of a SLATE106 device, the SLATE106 must connect several times to SMH300 (n X 15 minutes). If
you want to accelerate this evaluation, you can connect also an USB power bank to your SLATE106.
If the test card is activated, it prevents the SLATE106 from sleeping, and connects constantly to the SMH300.
Don’t forget to disconnect the USB cable as soon as the signal is evaluated, because in this mode, it uses the whole available BLE
bandwidth.
