Installation and Setup
2.3 Provisioning
After making the sensor connections and providing power, you must provision the XW-111 for use on
your wireless network. The goal is to configure the XW-111 such that it can recognize and attach to your
Wi-Fi access point. There are two methods for doing this:
1. Access Point Mode
By default, the XW-111 comes up as a wireless access point when powered for the first time. Pressing
the XW-111's "Access Point" button at any time also activates the access point mode. It isn't really an
access point because it will not provide internet connectivity to your computer or smart phone, but it will
appear as an access point, meaning that your computer or smart phone will detect it as an access point
and display it as such. When acting as an access point, the XW-111 broadcasts an SSID of "XW111-
XXXXXX" where XXXXXX are the last six digits of its MAC address.
With your wireless device (laptop computer or smart phone) scan for, and attach to the XW111 wireless
network. Next, access the web server in the XW-111 using a web browser. To access the setup pages,
enter the following URL in the address bar of your web browser:
http://192.168.1.2/setup.html
After the page is requested, a password prompt will appear. Enter the username and password. The
username is admin and the password is webrelay (password is case sensitive). The next chapter
explains each of the setup tabs and screens. Use the WiFi Networks tab for making the proper settings
to allow the XW-111 to connect to your access point.
Notes About Access Point Mode:
•
Operates at full power and will consume large amounts of energy and drain batteries quickly. It is
recommended that you use a wall-transformer to power the unit when operating in access point
mode or to configure the XW-111 quickly.
•
As an "access point" the XW-111 functions independently of other wireless networks. It
broadcasts beacons and services Wi-Fi packet requests. In this mode, your computer or smart-
phone is "connected" directly with the XW-111 on a private network and is NOT using another
Wi-Fi network. Typically you would use this for configuration and not for normal operation.
•
The XW-111 has no hardware "restore defaults" button, to prevent the installer from being locked
out, the default username (admin) and password (webrelay) always work in the access point
mode, even if the password is changed. If the password has changed via the Password tab, both
the new password and the webrelay password will work.
•
Only one client (computer or smart-phone) can be connected to XW-111 at a time.
•
SSID and password cannot be customized (once again this mode is intended for configuration
only).
•
Access point is unsecured and open.
