2. Connecting to the VersaSense IoT Fabric:
2.1. Connecting
There are multiple options to connect to your edge gateway a web browser.
When connecting for the first time with the VersaSense IoT Fabric, we suggest to
connect via WiFi.
WiFi -
The VersaSense Edge Gateway offers WiFi access under the SSID ‘
versa-gw-XY-XY
’
(with XY specific for every kit and labeled on the Edge Gateway) and the WPA key is
‘
VersaSenseWiFi
’.
When connected over WiFi, you can establish a secure web browser connection to

Ethernet (LAN):
The gateway also automatically requests an IP address via DHCP when
plugged into a LAN network. This IP address is specific to your LAN environment
configuration.
mDNS
(Multicast DNS)
[
] is also used to advertise and connect to edge
1
gateway services regardless whether you are connected via WiFi or Ethernet. Your edge
gateway is available at the following address:
. However,
depending on your Operating System, some configuration of mDNS might still be necessary:
●
Mac OS X (10.2+) -
No configuration is necessary as mDNS is natively supported.
●
Microsoft Windows (7+):
o
Depending on your Windows version, installed service packs and software
updates, a dedicated mDNS client might be required. In case of problems, we
recommend installing Apple iTunes (which includes the Bonjour mDNS client):

●
Linux -
An mDNS client may be necessary depending on your distribution. Installation
instructions vary based upon your distribution. Most newer Linux distributions typically
natively support mDNS.
