Device Configuration

YuDash IoT devices can be configured through WiFi and Ethernet LAN (based on part number). The configuration steps are similar across YuDash IoT devices like LYNX and ZENYX.
YuDash IoT device is configured through Wi-Fi using a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. In this case, there is no need to install any software or LAN wiring.
Following are 3 simple steps to initiate configuration.
Step 1: On device bootup, the device waits for 5 seconds for user to start configuration server. The device screen shows the following message (with countdown from 5 to 0):
Step 2
During the countdown, short press the Config button of device to start the configuration page
1) For LYNX, the Config button is connected with SW GND top right terminal:
2) For ZENX, the Config button is on top left side.
Do not long press the Config Button. Just push and release!
Step 3: Once the button is pressed, the device will enter in AP (Access Point) mode, meaning a Wi-Fi network will be broadcasted. The Wi-Fi SSID name and password are displayed on the device screen. Connect the laptop to the given Wi-Fi.
Details of Wi-Fi created by LYNX are displayed on the LYNX screen and are as follows:
Wi-Fi SSID: yu10000492
Wi-Fi password: 12345678
Device IP address: 192.168.4.1
Troubleshooting Guide to connect to Device Wi-Fi
1) In some cases, Wi-Fi may be shown as "Open network". In this case, no need to enter Wi-Fi password.
2) At times, the Wi-Fi setting on laptop may be showing "Connecting.." instead of "Connected to Wi-Fi" after LYNX Wi-Fi is selected. No need worry. Please open the Configuration URL (192.168.4.1) on laptop. It should simply open.
3) In case of further trouble, please "Forget" any previously stored Wi-Fi names linked to YuDash IoT device.
Step 3: This is how Device configuration page looks like on laptop.
While laptop is connected to local Wi-Fi of LYNX, internet will not be accessible on the laptop.
The device will keep the configuration server running for up to 5 minutes on inactivity. All the device configuration will be done through this page as covered in subsequent sections.
Following video explains the complete procedure to start LYNX Configuration page
YuDash IoT devices which have ethernet port can also be configured through Ethernet LAN during bootup.
Step 1: On device bootup, the device waits for 5 seconds for user to start configuration server.
Step 2: During the countdown, short press the Config button of device to start the configuration page
1) For LYNX, the Config button is connected with SW GND top right terminal:
2) For ZENX, the Config button is on top left side.
Step 3: Once the button is pressed, the device will enter in AP (Access Point) mode, meaning a Wi-Fi network will be broadcasted. For devices with ethernet LAN, the device also starts LAN server on fixed static IP of 192.168.2.1. In this case, the display screen shows both IP address for 1 second each.
Step 4: Connect the laptop to YuDash IoT device through ethernet LAN cable directly. Configure laptop network settings to have static IP address for ethernet.
With reference to following illustration, the IP address of YuDash IoT device is 192.168.2.1 during configuration. So, laptop has to be assigned IP address in series of 192.16.2.X. In the example, IP address of 192.168.2.209 is assigned to laptop.
Step 5: Once the laptop is connected to the YuDash IoT device, open the page 192.168.2.1 in browser, which will open like following:
The user need to enter login name and password to access the device. Default login is admin and default password is password. Press the button "Login to Device" after entering login and password:
On successful login, a pop-up will show "Login success". In case of password error, error message will pop up.
After successful login, the sections of Device Configuration and Realtime Telemetry are enabled in the page. Click on Open Configuration Page, which will open the configuration page in separate tab.
When the button Open Configuration page is clicked, a confirmation pop-up will appear as below:
The configuration opens in separate tab, which can now be used for device configuration. This page is identical to WiFi based configuration.
