Graphical User Interface
Storm3 contains a built-in graphical user interface
(GUI), accessible by either Wi-Fi or a cable
connection (figure 1). No special software is needed
to access the user interface. All computers, laptops,
tablets, smart phones, and other equipment
containing either a Wi- Fi connection or a USB port
can communicate with and configure Storm3. The
Wi-Fi connection works automatically, whereas
the device cable requires a one-time install of the
communication driver on the PC or other device
used to communicate with Storm3.
The startup sequence and the ‘Power’ and ‘Active’ LEDs detail what is happening internally on Storm3
(figure 2). Upon applying power to Storm3, the Power LED will begin its regular five second blink pattern.
Within a few seconds, the Active LED will turn on as well, showing solid initially, and then blinking. When
the blinking stops and the Active LED is no longer lit, Storm3 has completed its boot sequence and has
entered its low-power sleep. The entire boot sequence typically completes within 30 seconds.

LED Indicators
Either the Wi-Fi adaptor or the USB device cable
can be used any time after Storm3 has finished
booting. Upon connection, the ‘Active’ LED will
Blink Every few Seconds, indicating that Storm3 is
awake and ready for communication.
