Hardware configuration

Antennas

Before inserting the power supply to the BlipNode L2i make sure both
antennas are mounted securely.
If you are using other antennas than the ones delivered with
the product make sure they have SMA female connector, are
suitable for 2.4 GHz and have an impedance of 50 Ω.

Power supply

Use the power supply delivered with the product. Power supplies for a BlipNode L1 should not be
used.
If you need to use another power supply: It must be 5V DC, 3 W. 2.1 mm pin connector with plus in
middle.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Before attaching the BlipNode L2i to your PoE switch: Make sure the switch is PoE 802.3af 48 V
compliant.

Connecting the BlipNode

Connecting to your local server

Connecting the BlipNode L2i to your local server attach it to the LAN your server resides on.
A DHCP Server is required. Make sure the BlipNode L2i is able to communicate with the server on
UPD port 9033 (incoming port on server), and that the server can do outgoing TCP connections (you
may need to edit your firewall settings).

Connecting to your remote server

To connect the BlipNode L2i to your remote server you can send BT1 Address and BT2 Address to
your contact person at BLIP Systems with the IP address or host name of your remote server.
The BlipNode L2i will be created on a Blip Name Server (BNS) by BLIP Systems, wherefrom the
BlipNode L2i will get the host name to connect to. When created in the BNS the BlipNode L2i will
automatically connect to your remote server after 5 minutes on your LAN.
This requires that the BlipNode L2i is allowed to do outgoing connections on TCP port 9032.
