4.6 More about the SmartNode
The SmartNode supports wireless 802.11b/g/n standards with one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
It is designed with MIMO technology to extend the reach of any existing wireless router/AP to
maximize the coverage in your home or office. It basically receives the signal from your
wireless router/AP and repeats it to extend the range to farther locations that are previously
unreachable. The device is equipped with 64/128-bit WEP, WiFi Protected Access (WPA), and
the latest WPA2 encryption with TKIP and AES algorithm to protect your wireless network from
unauthorized access. MAC Address Filtering for wireless links provides an additional layer of
security for your wireless network. The device comes with 1 x 10/100M Auto MDI/MDIx
Ethernet port that can be used to connect to an existing wired network to serve as a wireless
access point (AP) or wireless bridge. It can also be used to configure the device via its web-
based GUI, or upgrade the firmware when connected to the Network Interface Card of your
PC.
Minimum system requirements
Your computer must meet the following minimum requirements:
 233 MHz processor
 Web browser
 WiFi or Ethernet network adapter
Tips for placing the SmartNode
Before proceeding to configure your SmartNode, it is a good idea to identify the areas where
you have good WiFi reception and weak or no WiFi signal at all. After this assessment, you
may place the SmartNode between a location where you have good WiFi reception and a
location where you have poor WiFi coverage. You will need to ensure that the SmartNode is
placed in the same room where the patient will be resting, to ensure reception of
temperature readings transmitted wirelessly by the ThermoSensor.
Placement of the SmartNode is crucial to getting the best possible results for extending your
existing WiFi signal and, at the same time, ensuring wireless temperature readings are well
received. It is desirable to place the SmartNode in a location where it can receive good WiFi
signal from the WiFi router/access point (AP), so as to avoid disconnection and packet loss.
Configuring the SmartNode to connect to your WiFi router
Ensure to disable the WiFi connection on the PC or laptop used for configuring the
SmartNode. Please note that your WiFi router/AP and the SmartNode must be on the same
WiFi channel.
To configure the SmartNode to connect to your WiFi router:
 Plug in the SmartNode to a power socket and switch it on. ( Note: The SmartNode
takes about 30 seconds to start up. )
 Connect the SmartNode to your PC/laptop using an Ethernet cable.
 Once a connection is established, your PC/laptop will receive an IP address and you
can start the configuration using your PC/laptop’s web browser, by entering:
“http://10.10.10.10/main.asp”. You will see the following screen:
