The LabSat 3 Wideband Web Server can be accessed on mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets to allow the user to configure and monitor the LabSat, connection is made possible using a Wi-Fi dongle. The USB Wi-Fi dongle must use a RT5370 chipset.
This feature will allow for remote control of the system and will be particularly useful in the field. For example, the LabSat 3 Wideband can be controlled from the front of a vehicle, monitoring the performance in real-time.
The Wi-Fi Dongle should be connected to the Host USB port on the LabSat rear panel. Once connected a hotspot will be created using the LabSat host name, the host name will be ‘labsatv3w_xxxxxxxx’, where xxxxxxxx is replaced with the LabSat serial number (the serial number must be entered in an 8 digit format, leading zeros should be used). Connection can also be made by entering ‘http://10.0.0.3’ in the web browser address bar.
When selecting the hotspot on a mobile device, a password will be requested prior to connection, the password for all LabSat hotspots is ‘secret1234’. Please note that the password is case sensitive and should be entered all lowercase.
NOTE
If Wi-Fi and Ethernet connection are used at the same time, there may be a ‘disconnected’ status displayed on the web server.
This is due to limitations of handling data from two interfaces.
