ETWORK
1. Before powering up the iTrixx
To configure your iTrixx, you will need the following information during the setup process, we suggest you to gather that information
before putting your device in Provissioning Mode, because once you put your device in Provisioning Mode, you will have 2 minutes to
connect it to your network before this mode times out.
1) Your network name and your WiFi password.
2) Write down the last 6 characters of your device’s MAC address, this will be the password to login to your iTrixx server when you
config the software on Telnet. You can find the MAC address at the back of your device.
3) Download the HourCollector desktop App from our website download page, this free tool can help you to find the IP address on
your network, as well as for data collection/monitoring. Before downloading, ensure your computer has Java installed. Java is
available for download here: https://www.java.com/en/. The Hour Collector app will automatically locate your iTrixx and allows for
quick access. The Hour Collector app will not immediately locate the iTrixx if not connected via Ethernet. The iTrixx will appear
once the HourCollector updates after receiving data from iTrixx devices. The HourCollector app updates every two minutes by
default. You can download this tool here: https://www.linortek.com/downloads/support­programming/
4) Open Telnet on your PC: You will need to use a Telnet client to configure your iTrixx server. To configure Telnet on Windows 8.1
or Windows 10, follow the steps below:
• Open Control Panel
• Select Programs
• Under Programs and Features select Turn Windows features on or off
• Scroll down and select the checkbox for Telnet Client and click OK
5) You will need to use your web browser to connect the iTrixx Server to your network, since the iTrixx config page is not
encrypted,you will need to make sure when you put the config link http://wifihm­config.com on your browser, and the browser
will NOT change to https://wifihm­config.com, otherwise, you can’t connect. Here are some samples how to change your browser
settings in order to connect to the config page:
• On Google Chrome, you can go to Settings­Privacy and Security­Safe Browsing, select No Protection.
• On Firefox, go to Privacy & Security Setting, scroll down to the page, on HTTPS­Only Mode, select Don’t Enable
HTTPS­Only Mode.
• For other browsers, you can add wifihm­config.com to your browser unprotected site so that you can access the
config page.
2. Powering iTrixx
Your iTrixx server is supplied with a 12VDC power supply. You may power your iTrixx server using this power supply for initial setup
and software configuration. Once your initial setup is completed, you can wire your iTrixx to your equipment by tapping into a 12 –
48 VDC circuit on your equipment.
To connect iTrixx to the 12VDC power supply, connect the RED wire on Cable 3 to the positive wire of the power supply, BLACK wire
on Cable 3 to the negative wire (marked with white strip) on the power supply. Once powered, your iTrixx server is ready to be
connected to your network.
3. Connecting iTrixx to WiFi Network
After powering up the iTrixx server, you then need to connect it to your network. To connect, follow the steps below:
1) Open the cover of the iTrixx, locate the DFLT button, push and hold the DFLT button with a paper clip until the blue LED starts
flashing. Your device is now in Provisioning Mode. You have 2 minutes to configure connect to your network before this mode
times out. Once the Provisioning mode times out, you will need to repeat the first step and put it in Provisioning mode.
2) Use a WiFi enabled PC or a mobile device to connect to your server’s AP (WiFi enabled device is only required for the initial
setup, once you have connected your iTrixx to your network, you can use any PC on the same network to config the device). If
you use a PC, click the Network icon at the right side corner, the iTrixx will be displayed as a WiFi network named
WiFiHM_xx:xx:xx (The x’s make up the last 6 characters of your device’s MAC address)
3) When prompted enter the password: wifihmpsk
4) Once connected you may receive a message stating there is no internet connection. Disregard this message.
5) Using your web browser, type in this UR: http://wifihm­config.com. Note: Please make sure your browser doesn’t change
http to https!
6) Enter the name of your WiFi network under Network Name and your WiFi password under Pass phrase
7) Click Connect. The Blue LED on your device will stop blinking and stay on solid. Your iTrixx server is now connected to your
network, at this time, your computer should connect back to your network. If it’s not automatically switched to your network, click
the network icon on your computer, and select the same network your iTrixx connected to in our previous step.
Troubleshooting: If you are unable to connect the iTrixx to your WiFi network (error message: reject to connect), this is because
your WiFi security blocks unrecognized SSIDs, please contact your IT department to whitelist the SSID for the iTrixx device.

ONNECTIONS
Relay Connection (iTrixx­WFMN­ADi)
Your iTrixx­WFMN­ADi server has two 5VDC relay outputs. These relays are limited to a 5V signal and are prewired to the outside of
the enclosure. There are 3 positions on the terminal ­ NO (Normally Open), C (Common), and NC (Normally Closed).
Additionally, there is a switch for each relay on the board. For a dry contact relay, push the switch to the right, to drive a 5VDC
signal, push the switch to the left. (See Board Layout Reference section to locate the relay output wires).
A note of CAUTION: These units are ground isolated. Always connect so that power loop is only connected to theiTrixx unit. Do
NOT use external ground connections. Doing so may damage the SERVER or POE originating device.
Digital Inputs Connection
iTrixx servers have 2 digital inputs (5­24VDC) built­in to the board. The digital inputs allow the SERVER to detect an external on/off
state of a sensor. With this information the SERVER can display whether an input is on or off, count events in a resettable or non­
resettable counter, and calculate the frequency (such as for use as a tachometer) or the period of the input. See Board Reference
Layout page to locate the digital input wires. A circuit that switches on and off with your equipment can be wired to this digital input
to detect whether or not your machine is running. Note: If using a circuit above 12VDC you must include a 2.2k ohm resistor
between the tapped circuit and the iTrixx. The iTrixx will only detect a voltage on this circuit and will not draw any power or interfere
with this circuit. Do NOT exceed 24VDC on your digital input. Once wired, see the section Setup Triggers to trigger the hour
counter or set up notifications. For how to use a resistor for the digital input, please refer to the diagram below:
There are two modes of operation for the digital inputs: ISOLATED and PULL UP. These are set at the factory to PULL UP by
default.
1) ISOLATED mode allows you to directly drive the iTrixx’s opto­isolator with an external voltage though an internal 1K
resistor. This voltage may be in the range of 5VDC to 24VDC supplying a minimum of 2mA or a maximum of 30mA to the
opto­isolator diode. There is no other internal connection to this voltage so it is an isolated input. The DIN in this mode will
default to a Low state. To set this mode, move the DIN switch to the right (Towards center of board).
2) PULL­UP mode connects a 1K resistor to an internal voltage allowing you to use a simple switch (such as a magnetic
door switch) across terminals 1 and 2. When the switch is activated a signal is sent to the input. These modes are selected
by the switch on the server (see the Board Layout for reference). The DIN in this mode will default to a High state. To
set this mode, move the DIN switch to the Left (Towards edge of board).
Caution: If you intend to use isolated mode, verify input switch is set to ISO before applying an external voltage. Doing otherwise
may damage the SERVER or POE originating device.
To wire your equipment to the iTrixx’s digital input, identify a circuit of 5 – 24VDC that switches on and off with your equipment.
Wire this to DIN 1 or DIN 2 on your iTrixx.
Analog Inputs Connection (iTrixx­WFMN­ADi)
The analog inputs allow the SERVER to read the value of external equipment. iTrixx­WFMN­ADi has 2 analog inputs (5v 4­20mA) built
in to the board. The 2 analog input wires are connected to non­isolated 0­5V current sensors which may be connected to a variety of
devices such as temperature or pressure sensors. The SERVER provides a ground and power connection so that measurements can
be made without external voltage references. You should use a sensor that is isolated so that the it makes no connection to a remote
ground. This information can be set to trigger a notification. There are 3 wires for each analog input, see Board Reference Layout
page to locate the analog input wires.
A note of CAUTION: These units are ground isolated. Always connect so that power loop is only connected to the iTrixx unit. Do
NOT use external ground connections. Doing so may damage the SERVER or POE originating device.
Once you are finished wiring the iTrixx to your equipment, you may then power on your equipment or reconnect the vehicle’s battery
and configure your device.
