Product Setup
The TX Pole has two communication links that require configuration before operation: Wi-Fi and
900 MHz telemetry. The easiest way to set up your TX Pole
for its initial use is through the ‘
First Run
Wizard' as explained in this section. Further configuration will be explained in detail in sections 2.2
and 2.3.
Ensure the TX Pole is charged, or it is being supplied externally via the main connector. Power up the
device by pressing the mode button for at least 5 seconds or connect the EXT_ON_N and EXT_ON_P
wires together on the power.
The system defaults to be a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) and self-assigns the IP 192.168.4.1. Use your
computer or smart device to search for and connect to the access point Wi-Fi network generated by
the TX Pole (SSID:
TXPOLE-XX-XX-XX
, Password:
txpole123 ,
by default). It may be necessary to disable
mobile data on tablets and phones to force the browser to use the TX Pole network. If the TX Pole is
properly powered up, but the access point is not visible from your personal device, a factory reset may
help bringing the Wi-Fi settings back to a known state.
