The SMART Controller's default configuration is as a Wi-Fi access point. This allows you to configure the SMART System from a computer without connecting to any other network infrastructure.

About this task

Connecting to the SMART Controller as a Wi-Fi access point provides a simple way to set up the SMART for the first time. It can also be used in deployments where the SMART is disconnected from a broader network, but you need to configure the SMART using a laptop on-site.

Procedure

  1. Connect to the SMART Control Panel and go to Networking.
  2. Set Wi-Fi Configuration to Access Point.
  3. Enter an SSID and Password for the SMART Controller's Wi-Fi network.
    Default SSID
    smart-MAC_Address, where MAC_address is the SMART system's twelve-digit MAC address without periods.
    Default Wi-Fi Password
    wildlife
  4. Enable DHCP Server Configuration.
  5. Select Apply Changes.

Results

The SMART Controller will host a Wi-Fi network with your selected SSID and Password. Using a Wi-Fi-enabled device with a web browser, you can now join this network and access the SMART Control Panel via the SMART Controller's default IP address: 192.168.19.1.
