WASP-N User Manual

Prerequisites

• A Windows or iOS device
• If the WASP will be connecting to an existing WiFi network, you will need to provide the:
  • SSID (name) of the existing network
  • security type of the existing network
  • password (if applicable) of the existing network

Note: If the network does not use DHCP, you will also need a static IP address from the network administrator to assign the WASP to.

Usage

The micro USB port located on the side of the device can be used to charge the device by plugging it into a wall, and also to communicate with the device when plugged into a computer.

The WASP has two colored LED lights. If the device is powered on, the green light will activate. Any changes to the current state of the device, such as a successful connection to a WiFi network, will activate the red light. See details below.

Green Status Light

• Double flash indicates WASP joined a WiFi network.
• Single flash indicates the WASP created a WiFi access point

Red Status Light

• Continuous blinking indicates the WASP is attempting to connect to a WiFi network. When in infrastructure mode, network connectivity was lost.
• Slower blinking indicates the battery is actively charging. The light will be solid when charging is complete.
• The light will blink between one and four times to indicate the current battery level of the device when the button is pressed.

Note: Battery will only be indicated if the red LED is idle.

Power on the WASP

Press and hold the black button until the red light activates. The green light will activate and continue to flash after the button is released. The WASP is now in operational mode.

Sleep Mode

If you wish to deactivate all wireless radios, or store the device away, enable sleep mode. Sleep mood will utilize significantly less power. To enter sleep mode, simply hold the button down until both LEDs blink slowly three times.

To enter operational mode, either press and hold the button, or connect the device to a power source via USB.

Note: To charge the device in sleep mode, attach the USB before powering the device off.

The WASP has the ability to connect to an existing network, or create one itself when a WiFi network is not available, or the quality is poor.

Using the WASP as an Access Point

1. Set the WASP to operational mode using the button
2. Click the button once again. Notice the green LED will now be flashing once, rather than bursts of two, indicating the WASP created an access point.
3. On your device, navigate to WiFi settings and connect to the network named WASP-XXXXXX, where XXXXXX are the last six characters of the 11 digit serial number on the back of the WASP

Warning: Any devices you connect to the WASP's access point will not have an internet connection.

The WASP is now visible to any devices that are connect to the access point. Do not try to access an external wifi network while using the WASP as an access point as there is a risk of data loss. After data collection, it will be necessary to connect to an external WiFi network in order to sync the data with the ACHIEVE platform.

Configuration for Connecting to an Existing Network

There are currently two methods of configuring a WASP for use with an existing WiFi network.

1. The WASP Util app available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices.
2. WASP Config Utility for Windows

WASP Util on iOS

The WASP can be configured on iOS by following these instructions:

1. Install WASP Util from the app store.
2. Activate Limited Access Point (LAP) mode
   1. Push the button until the RED LED flashes twice
   2. Push the button again for one second
   3. When the green light starts flashing, the WASP has entered LAP mode
3. In iOS's WiFi settings, locate and join the network named WASP-XXXXXX, where XXXXXX are the last six characters of the 11 digit serial number on the back of the WASP
4. You may close settings, and open the configuration app. The last six characters of the WASP will be listed on the opening page.
5. Click the entry and select Open a Control Connection
6. On the configuration page, edit the following settings:
   1. Enter the SSID manually, or scan for networks. Select the correct network and enter the password if required.
   2. Select the security type
   3. If the network assigns an IP address with DHCP, set the DHCP setting to on. If not, enter the assignment settings, and set DHCP to off.
7. Tap apply to save the settings
8. Tap back, and then Disconnect WASP in the popup menu
9. Close the app and enable sleep mode on the WASP

WASP USB Configuration Utility on Windows

The WASP can be configured on Windows by following these instructions:

Note: The utility must be downloaded and installed. See configuration to install it.

1. Open the WASP USB Configuration Utility
2. Plug the WASP into the Windows device using a micro-USB cable
3. Information pertaining to the WASP will appear in the utility. Navigate to Infrastructure Network and enter the following parameters:
   1. Set the Security Type to the method used on the WiFi network
   2. Enter the name of the WiFi network into the SSID field
   3. If the network assigns an IP address with DHCP, set the DHCP setting to TRUE. If not, enter the assignment settings, and set DHCP to FALSE.
4. Tap Configure. The program will read Your WASP has been configured.
5. Unplug the WASP and enable sleep mode on the WASP

Testing Configuration

1. Within range of the WiFi network the WASP was configured for, enable operational mode. Both LEDs will blink.
2. If the green LED double blinks, the WASP has joined the network successfully

Troubleshooting: If the red LED does not shut off after two minutes, the WASP's configuration is incorrect. Correct any errors in the configuration.
