IoT box

|
|
|
To start using an IoT box:
|
|
|
|
#. Make sure you have a :ref:`valid IoT box subscription <iot/iot/iot-subscription>` in addition to
|
|
your Odoo subscription.
|
|
#. Connect your :doc:`devices <devices>` to the IoT box.
|
|
#. :ref:`Connect the IoT box to the network <iot/iot_box/network>`.
|
|
#. :doc:`Connect the IoT box to your Odoo database <connect>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Devices can also be connected after the IoT box is added to the network and/or connected to the
|
|
database; however, a reboot of the IoT box might be required.

|
Network connection
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The IoT box can be connected to the network via :ref:`Ethernet <iot/iot_box/network-ethernet>` or
|
|
:ref:`Wi-Fi <iot/iot_box/network-wifi>`.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
**All** devices must be connected to the **same network**: the IoT box, the device(s) connected
|
|
to the IoT box, and the computer connected to Odoo.
|
|
|
|
.. _iot/iot_box/network-ethernet:
|
|
|
|
Ethernet
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Plug the Ethernet cable into the IoT box's Ethernet port and an available port on your router, then
|
|
connect the IoT box to a power source.
|
|
|
|
.. _iot/iot_box/network-wifi:
|
|
|
|
Wi-Fi
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Make sure no Ethernet cable is connected to the IoT box and follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
#. Connect the IoT box to a power source and wait a few minutes for it to power on.
|
|
#. Access your computer's Wi-Fi settings and select the IoT box's network. The network name is in
|
|
the format `IoTBox-xxxxxxxxxxxx` (where `xxxxxxxxxxxx` is a unique identifier).
|
|
#. Connect to the IoT box's Wi-Fi network and sign into it; your browser should automatically
|
|
open and redirect to the :ref:`IoT box's homepage <iot/iot-box/homepage>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Depending on your operating system, the browser might not open and redirect to the IoT box's
|
|
homepage. In this case, open your browser manually and navigate to `http://10.11.12.1`.
|
|
|
|
#. On the IoT box's homepage, click :guilabel:`Configure` next to the :guilabel:`Internet Status`
|
|
section.
|
|
#. Wait a few minutes for the available networks to be scanned, select the network, enter the
|
|
Wi-Fi's password, and click :guilabel:`Connect`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Once connected to the Wi-Fi network, the IoT box stops emitting its Wi-Fi signal, and the
|
|
computer should automatically reconnect to its original network. If it does not, reconnect to it
|
|
manually.
|
|
|
|
.. _iot/iot-box/homepage:
|
|
|
|
IoT box homepage
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
To access the IoT box's homepage, open a web browser **on the same network as the IoT box** and
|
|
navigate to the IoT box's IP address.

|
|
|
|
The IoT box's IP address can be retrieved by:
|
|
|
|
- connecting the IoT box to an external monitor: the IP address is displayed on the screen.

|
|
|
|
- connecting the IoT box to a printer: the IP address is automatically printed.
|
|
- accessing the administrator interface of the router to which the IoT box is connected or using
|
|
third-party software to scan the network.
|
|
|
|
Once the IoT box is :doc:`connected to the Odoo database <connect>`, its homepage can be accessed
|
|
from Odoo by opening the IoT app and clicking the URL displayed on the IoT box's card.
