Sutron Corporation X-Link Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 1.63 5/24/2016 pg. 25
In order for LinkComm to connect to X-Link via Wi-Fi, the computer that is
running LinkComm must first connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot provided by X-Link.
To connect to X-Link via Wi-Fi, follow this sequence:
1.
Have X-Link turn on the Wi-Fi by pushing the wakeup button located on
the right side of X-Link. X-Link will blink the green LED to acknowledge
the button press.
Please see below for other ways to turn on Wi-Fi.
2.
Have your computer (Laptop, iPhone, or Android) connect to X-Link’s Wi-
Fi hotspot.
a.
X-Link will name its hotspot
SutronXL_xxxx_aaaa
, where
xxxx
is
the station name and
aaaa
is a unique number.
3.
Create a new station in LinkComm with “Connect type” set to “Station
WiFi” (if LinkComm detects you are connected to an X-Link via WiFi, it will
set this type by default)
a.
If you need to manually enter the IP address for X-Link, it is
192.168.88.1:3000.
4.
LinkComm is now connected to X-Link. It is possible to check status,
change setup, download log, and perform almost all other operations.
5.
Once the LinkComm session is complete,
make sure to disconnect from
X-Link's WiFi hotspot.
In order to conserve power, X-Link only turns on the Wi-Fi hot spot at certain
times. There are two settings that control when X-Link turns on the Wi-Fi
hotspot:
Wifi Enable:
If this setting is off, X-Link will never turn on it’s Wi-Fi
automatically. Turn
Wifi Enable
off if there are no plans to connect to X-
Link via Wi-Fi.
Please note that pressing the wakeup button will turn on
the Wi-Fi hotspot even if Wifi Enable is off.
Wifi Always On:
if this setting is on, the Wi-Fi spot provided by X-Link will
always be turned on. Turning this setting on will result in increased
power consumption, but it will make X-Link always available to connect
to.
The table below describes when the Wi-Fi hotspot is on.
