Before using your wireless sensor, charge the device for approximately 3 hours using the included USB cord and wall adapter. Make sure the device is off when charging. Option 1 is the simplest option. To connect over an existing wireless network, see Options 2 or Option 3.

 

Option 1: Direct Connection between Computer and Sensor through Wi-Fi.

This is the simplest method for wireless communication, but this method will prevent you from accessing the internet unless you are able to use a second wireless networking card or LAN connection.

  1. Turn on the sensor. Wait 30 seconds.
  2. On your computer, open the list of available wireless networks. This is usually in the bottom right of your computer screen, near the time and date.
  3. Find for your device in the list of networks. The name will be SensorEdge_Wireless_xxx.
  4. Connect to this network using the password “sensoredge”. Notice the password is in lowercase.
  5. Once connected, launch MeasureX.
  6. Locate your device in Device Dropdown in the Device toolbar.
  7. Click the record button. You should see the session begin.
  8. If not, click the Device Settings button on the Device toolbar.
  9. Click the radio button next to IP Address.
  10. Enter the following IP Address in the field to the right: 192.168.100.1
  11. Click OK. You may now begin recording sessions.

 

Option 2: Connection through Wireless Network (Initial Setup via Wi-Fi)

  1. Turn on the Sensor. Wait 30 Seconds.
  2. On your computer, open the list of available wireless networks. This is usually in the bottom right of your computer screen, near the time and date.
    1. Open a browser. We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox. We do not recommend using Internet Explorer.
    2. Find for your device in the list of networks. The name will be SensorEdge_Wireless_xxx, where xxx is the serial number.
    3. Enter the IP address 192.168.100.1 into the address bar and hit enter.
    4. Click “Join Network”
    5. Find the network through which you will be connecting to the sensor on the list.
    6. If joining a hidden network, scroll down and click “Other Networks”.
      1. Fill in the information about your network.
      2. The “SSID” is the name of the network to which you are connecting.
      3. The “Password” is the password or key for the network. Only the SSID and Password are required to connect through DHCP.
      4. Enter the IP address to produce a static IP connection.
      5. Entering the remaining four fields will ensure the connection is correct. If you do not enter information for these fields, the device will attempt to obtain the information automatically.
      6. Click “Apply”. Wait 30 seconds.
      7. Launch MeasureX
      8. Locate your device in Device Dropdown in the Device toolbar.
      9. Select the Device “SensorEdge_Wireless_xxx”
      10. Click the Device Settings button (also available in the menu Device > Device Settings).
      11. Click the radio button next to IP Address.
      12. Click Scan Network. MeasureX will attempt to find the IP address of the sensor and fills in the form with the address. If you gave the device a fixed IP address, you may enter it manually.
        1. If a message saying, “No MeasureX wireless devices found” appears, repeat Steps 2-16.
      13. Click OK. You may now begin recording sessions.
      14. If MeasureX fails to find the IP address, restart the device and either restart the steps in Option 2, or try using the method in Option 3.
      15. Once these steps are completed, you will be able to connect to the sensor whenever you launch MeasureX.

Option 3: Connection through Wireless Network (Setup via Ethernet)

For devices equipped with an Ethernet port. Though you are setting up the wireless connection with an Ethernet cable, you will be able to access the device wirelessly after the initial setup

  1. Turn on the sensor.
  2. Connect the sensor to your computer using the included Ethernet cable.
  3. Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Open a browser. We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox. We do not recommend using Internet Explorer.
  5. Enter the IP address 192.168.99.1 into the address bar and hit enter.
  6. Click “Join Network”
  7. Find the network through which you will be connecting to the sensor on the list.
  8. If joining a hidden network, scroll down and click “Other Networks”.
  9. Fill in the information about your network.
    1. The “SSID” is the name of the network to which you are connecting.
