Cognito Networking Mode: Determines the method Cognito uses to obtain a network
IP address and subnet mask.
Pathport: Sets the IP address using the standard Pathport method, where the IP
address is generated in the 10.x.x.x range, using the serial number of the console.
Subnet mask is always set to Class A, or 255.0.0.0. Not editable.
Static: The user enters a specific IP address and subnet mask. Care must be
taken that no other device on the network uses the same IP address.
Automatic: Cognito waits to be assigned an IP address by on on-line service
such as a DHCP server. If no server is found, Cognito will use that last address
assigned to it. Not editable.
Advanced (default): Cognito will determine its IP address and subnet mask by:
a) seeking an address from a DHCP server; b) utilize an IP generated using the
standard Pathport rules; c) auto-generate an IP address in the 169.254.x.x range
using Avahi.
While in Advanced, you may also set the Base Address determination to be Dynamic,
Static or Off; turn the Pathport method on or off; or enable or disable Avahi auto-
generation. With the exception of Avahi, the Advanced option simply provides
simultaneous access to the methods shown individually under the other option headings.
If more than one IP address is present and allowed for, Cognito will send Ethernet data
using all valid addresses.
neato
neato is an iOS app, available for free from the Apple App Store, which gives remote
control of memories and individual lights. neato requires Cognito to be connected to a
wireless access point or wireless router. Setting up wireless access is described
elsewhere. Although we recommend the use of any wireless access require a
password, as an additional layer of security each Cognito may be given its own
password as well. The neato setup option allows you to change the password for its
default setting (recommended). You may also instruct Cognito to connect with all
devices using the correct password and settings; to not allow any new devices to
connect; or to refuse to connect to any devices at all.
Show File
These options are described under Show File Management, below.
Software
Provides information on the software release version being run by the console. Versions
are presented as a simple date and time stamp, rather than an arbitrary build number.
Check www.pathwayconnect.com/downloads/cognito for the latest release. If a newer
release is available, download a copy and unzip it to a USB drive. Insert the USB drive
into one of the USB ports on the console. Now, while at the Software screen, touch the
Update Software icon at the bottom of the screen. A list of the one (or more) releases
available on the USB drive will be shown. Use the red wheel if necessary to highlight
the release you wish to install, then touch OK.
