    Overview The zioxi range of onView Charging Trolleys and Cabinets provide a means of storing, securing, moving and charging sets of mobile devices such as phones, tablets, Chromebooks and laptops. The onView Charging Trolley controls include 3 local charging options – Continuous Charge, Timed Charge (for a set period of time) and Smart Charge (where charging is switched off when all devices are fully charged). Smart Charge requires a regular, but not necessarily continuous connection to the zioxi onView web app via WiFi. Other charging options such as charging on a schedule and /or utilizing green energy are also available via the onView web app. There is an integrated thermal cut out and automatic restart. Following any power outage an onView enabled trolley or cabinet will automatically resume charging. zioxi onView Charging Trolleys are fitted with a microprocessor control system which includes the capability of remote web based monitoring and control using zioxi onView. Connecting to the trolley with the onView web app provides a much increased set of functionality including: • view current status information such as lock state, mains power connection, charging status, mobile device numbers, asset information and location on a map • edit trolley settings such as Timed Charge period, Smart Charge schedules, trolley name and local access controls • send remote instructions such as start charging, operate to an automatic schedule, Green Charge and reset • receive email & dashboard alerts and trigger actions based on your own rule conditions such as alarms for out of hours access, mains not plugged just before the end of day, potential fault, devices missing or charging complete • review usage history including how much the trolley has been used, how long it is on charge each day, when was the last charge and is it being locked daily • update the trolley software with on-going functionality enhancements and updates • remote diagnosis of issues and faults with the help of zioxi engineers With a zioxi onView Charging Trolley you can set up an automatic charging schedule which only charges when devices need charging, which optimizes the use of Green energy and emails you when it’s finished. It can also warn you if it’s not plugged in or the door isn’t locked when it should be and there are less devices plugged in and charging than you’d expect. Using zioxi onView requires the trolley’s WiFi connection to be configured to one or more WAPs using the local Admin function and also requires set-up and licencing to be arranged via the zioxi team. The full functionality available via onView is described separately in the onView...

  • Page 15: Moving A Trolley

    Moving a Trolley zioxi trolleys are designed with castors to enable them to be easily moved around & located anywhere inside a building. Before moving a trolley ensure that both locking castors are unlocked first, and then re-engaged once the trolley is re-located. It is also important to switch mains power to the trolley off and then wait 1 or 2 seconds before removing the plug & mains lead from the external socket. Ensure the mains lead and plug are carefully stowed (for example by placing through the handle) before moving the trolley. Trolleys loaded with mobile devices can be heavy items so care needs to be taken when moving them around, especially when encountering door stops and ridges. © zioxi Limited 18-Mar-18...
  • Page 16: Wifi Setup

    WiFi Setup To establish a WiFi connection between an onView enabled device and one or more WiFi Access Points (WAPs) it is necessary to login to the device’s Admin menu and temporarily establish a WiFi connection between the device (trolley, powerHub, desk etc) and a personal mobile device (smartphone, tablet or laptop). If required for WiFi router provisioning, the device’s MAC address can be found on a label on the rear or base of the device or can be retrieved from the Device Details Technical page within the onView web app. zioxi onView enabled devices support the following WiFi security & encryption types: • None, WEP, WPA, WPA2 • AES, TKIP A future release will support WPA2 Enterprise. “Captive” WiFi security where a user enters credentials into a custom login screen is currently not supported. For onView Charging Trolleys and Cabinets, the Admin screen can be accessed by simultaneously pressing both far left and far right buttons when in the Menu screen. ZCTS234567 01:23 The Admin Passcode entry screen is then presented. The default Admin passcode is 000000. This should be changed after your first login by using the local Admin option 2 (or changed across a number of devices at once using the onView web app once a Wifi & zioxi cloud connection has been established). The code is entered using the up & down arrows to select a number and then OK to confirm and progress to the next number. * * * * ZCTS234567 01:23 © zioxi Limited 18-Mar-18...
  • Page 17 A green tick will be displayed to signify the correct code. The Admin menu is then presented. ZCTS234567 01:23 If the Wifi empty fan symbol with a line through is displayed on the device screen, then it is necessary first to change the device from Local to Connected mode using option 4 of the Admin menu. This is achieved by selecting the Operate Connected option using the arrow keys, then pressing OK to save and then ESC to return to the Admin menu. To configure Wifi credentials, select Admin menu Wi-Fi Setup (option 6). The screen will then summarise the steps to configure a WAP connection to the trolley. ZCTS234567 01:23 If you wish to delete any existing stored WAP credentials on the trolley before adding a WAP, then press the DEL button. This will deleted all WAPs currently saved on the device. The trolley will confirm when the action has been completed. This may take a minute or so. Pressing the ESC key at any stage will halt the WiFi Setup process and return you to the main Admin menu. To initiate the addition of a WAP connection for the device: 1. Press OK to initiate the process. After a short period, a blue Wifi fan will be displayed indicating the device is temporarily acting as a Wifi access point and broadcasting a WiFi signal. It operates in this mode for the duration of Wifi setup only. 2. Go to WiFi Settings on your mobile device (a smartphone, tablet or laptop with a common browser). © zioxi Limited 18-Mar-18...

  • Page 19 If the pop-up message below is presented on your mobile device, then the WAP credentials you have entered have been successfully sent to the device. The device will then attempt to establish a WiFi connection (regardless of whether the WAP credentials you have provided are correct or not). Attempting to connect… will be displayed at the bottom of the browser window. If this process is unsuccessful, ensure you have entered the password correctly, a MAC address is provisioned on your router (if this is required for your network) and you have a strong & reliable signal from the WAP (by moving the device nearer if necessary) and then repeat the process. The Wifi setup process is best conducted during quieter times when the number of Wifi connected devices in a space is reduced. The WiFi Setup process will timeout after 3 minutes if it has not successfully completed. Please note the search process for already configured and new WiFi networks can take some time for the device to complete. © zioxi Limited 18-Mar-18...
  • Page 20: Admin Mode

    Credentials for up to 5 WAPs can be stored on a trolley. To add new WAP credentials repeat the process above. Once a Wifi connection has been successfully made, the WiFi icon on the header bar will show some or all bars in a dark grey. After a short period (it may take seconds or a couple of minutes) the WiFi symbol bars should then change to blue, indicating that a connection has also been made to the zioxi cloud service. If this doesn’t occur, you may need to configure your web filtering and firewall settings to enable the external Internet connection. The firewall & filtering must also allow outbound TCP access to port 5683 (COAP) on device.particle.io and outbound https (port 443) to api.particle.io in order that devices can connect to the zioxi cloud service. An alternative approach is to utilize a Guest WAP set-up to provide access to the Internet for onView devices. If changes are made to your Wifi network set-up, it is advisable to re-start your onView device(s) using Restart (option 3) within the local Admin menu to re-initiate the cloud connection process. Once a WiFi connection has been made to the zioxi cloud service, all other Admin functions can be performed using the onView web app. Admin mode There are a small number of other functions that can be carried out via local Admin at the trolley. To enter Admin mode see the instructions in the section on WiFi Setup. The local Admin menu options are as follows: 1. Language to change the language displayed locally on the device 2. Admin Passcode to update the local Admin passcode 3. Restart to re-boot the trolley without needing to disable the battery back-up 4. Local/Connected to toggle between Local mode and WiFi Connected mode (note that only limited functionality is available without a web connection) 5. Restore Defaults to return the trolley to it’s factory settings 6. WiFi Setup to connect the trolley to up to 5 Wireless Access Points 7. Technical / Legal to review technical and legal information about the device, including it’s MAC address and Local IP address Use the ESC key to back-up and to exit Admin. The trolley will automatically exit Admin mode if inactive for 60 seconds. The onView web application provides all the above Admin functions alongwith a large number of additional functions.
