Before connecting

  • Switch the WSDL on and wait for a red light to glow - located at the top left corner of the WSDL.

    • The cross on the right-hand corner of the screen indicates that the WSDL is not connected to the Wi-Fi.

Steps

  1. On the Data Logger, switch to the Hotspot mode by pressing "#" which will open the MENU screen.

  2. Then press "3" to enter hotspot mode.

  3. Open the Wi-Fi menu on your smartphone, search for the Wi-Fi network with the name written on the device display IoTReady-XXXXXX.

  4. Connect to the device with the same name “IoTReady-XXXXXX” with the password "getiotready".

  5. Once your smartphone is connected to the Data Logger through Wi-Fi, open the IoTReady Wi-Fi Configuration App. Provide necessary permissions when prompted, which include location, Wi-Fi, and camera.

    • Note: Please ensure that Mobile Data is turned off.

  6. Enter the Wi-Fi credentials of the target Wi-Fi and press Submit.

    • If the target Wi-Fi is an open Wi-Fi (no password), leave the password field empty.

  7. A prompt “Successfully configured” will be received in the app.

  8. Please restart the Data Logger and wait for the device to load.

    • On the right-hand corner of your screen, you will observe the “<->” mark, which indicates that the device is connected to the internet.

Once the device is connected to the internet, it will sync the PLU codes.

While the Data Logger is syncing, it is safe to quit the IoTReady Wi-Fi Configuration App on your phone.

Troubleshooting

The app tells you on screen if the configuration has failed.

If the above steps fail, please verify if the Data Logger is in Hotspot mode. If not, please repeat Step 1.
