NEULOG WIFI COMMUNICATION MODULE GUIDE
NeuLog WiFi communication module
WIFI-201
The WiFi module is without a doubt one of the most advanced and innovative
elements that the NeuLog line has to offer. Data collection and analysis with NeuLog
sensors can be performed through any device which has wireless capabilities such as
iPads, Android tablets, smartphones, Windows, Mac, and Linux based computers.
The WiFi module can seamlessly transform group projects by connecting up to 5
devices onto the wireless network at a single time
– promoting interaction and allowing
each member to have their own dataset.
There is no downloaded application or software installation as they are built directly
into the WiFi module which transmits its own closed wireless network. This means
that you do not need your own wireless network
– though if you have one a simple
setting can be changed on the WiFi module to allow surfing of the web at the same
time!
All current popular browsing programs can be used with the WiFi module to allow you
to use whichever browser you and your students feel most comfortable with.
Using the NeuLog WiFi module:
The NeuLog WiFi module is a very advanced piece of equipment; having capability to
transmit its own wireless network as well record data from up to 5 NeuLog sensors at
a time.
You
’ll notice that on the front of the WIFI-201 module there are four LED lights labeled
A, C, T, and U.
A
: (blue LED) When the blue LED is the only light on, the WIFI module is in Access
Point mode (described below) and is transmitting a closed wireless network which you
can connect devices to.
C
: (green LED) When the green LED is the only light on, the WIFI module is in Client
Mode (described below) and allows your wireless devices to control sensors through
the website
as well as browse the internet.
T
: (red LED) The red LED will blink when there is active communication between any
connected sensors and the NeuLog software.
U
: (yellow LED) The yellow LED will remain lit when the WiFi module is working in
USB mode (detailed below). USB mode can be turned on and off by pressing the
button on the front of the WiFi module three times.
Materials needed:

Any NeuLog sensor
NeuLog WiFi module
Any device with wireless capabilities.
Access point mode:
Access point mode is the default operating mode for the the NeuLog WiFi module
– it
transmits it’s own closed wireless network which allows up to 5 devices to connect to it
at a time. No prior wireless networks are required, making this option both very
portable and unique. Because the network is closed; you will not be able to browse
the internet, if you wish to browse the internet while using the WiFi module please
locate the “Client mode” procedural guide in this manual beginning on page 5.
1.
Connect up to 5 NeuLog sensors directly to the left side of the WIFI-201
module (no wires required).
2.
Connect either a BAT-200 or a USB-200 module to the right side of the
WIFI-201 module.
Note:
Although not required, we recommend plugging the BAT-200 to an
outlet using a USB to micro USB charger (such as a typical cell phone
charger). The WIFI-201 module will run for 15-75 minutes (depending on
the sensor) without being plugged in.
