SET-UP of the MR3000

Connect a power source to the MR3000 (Battery pack, AC/DC converter to the power socket or a
PoE source to the LAN socket).
All 3 LEDs (green, yellow, red) are on and the 1
up of the MR3000. Then all the 3 LEDs go off. The green LED is blinking while the MR3000
updates the database of the files on the SD card.
Once the unit is started, only the green POWER LED remains on. Now you can establish
communication with the MR3000 using any of the 3 methods described below.

Connecting to the MR3000 for the first time (direct connection)

To communicate with the MR3000 you do not need any special software: any Web browser will do
the job. We assume that the MR3000 is in our workshop and we would like to set-up the
parameters for later field use. There are 3 methods for direct connection:

Wireless (Wi-Fi): You can establish connection using your PC or your tablet. This method is
intended to set-up the parameters or to look at some files if you are out in the field. You
don't need a cable to talk to the MR3000. The disadvantage is that you can only talk to a
single MR3000 at a time.

Wired connection (via router): This method offers the most possibilities and needs no
configuration at start-up, but you need a router. If the router has access to the Internet, you
can do everything with your MR3000, including firmware upgrades. If you have a router with
PoE (Power over Ethernet) feature the MR3000 is powered through the LAN cable. You can
attach many MRs to the router and talk to all of them simultaneously. The disadvantage of
this method is that you need an additional device that you probably won't carry out in the
field...

Wired connection (direct): As there is no router involved you will have to adjust the network
settings of the PC. Obviously, you can talk only to one MR3000 at a time.
Depending on the method you choose, the IP address of the MR will be different. The following
paragraphs describe these methods in detail.
3.1.1

Wireless connection

The MR3000 acts as a Wi-Fi access point. The procedure to establish Wi-Fi connection to the MR
is the same as connecting your PC or tablet to a Wi-Fi hot-spot. Scan the available Wi-Fi networks
for a network named "MR3000", followed by a dash and the serial number. By default WPA2
encryption is enabled, the password is swissmade.
The following step by step instruction shows how to establish a Wi-Fi connection to the MR using a
WINDOWS PC or a smartphone.
