Senix Indoor Receiver
Back to: Hardware Installation and Maintenance
The MultiConnect Conduit MTCDT
The Senix software runs inside the MultiTech MultiConnect with a LoRa add-in card.
Installing Indoor Receiver
Install the black indoor LoRa antenna on the radio RF jack at the rear of the receiver. Install the white WiFi antenna to the WiFi jack. Nothing mounts on the GPS jack. Install an ethernet cable at the rear and into the LAN. Install the power adapter to the threaded socket at the rear and plug it into a standard AC outlet. The unit will boot over several minutes. The receiver should join the LAN and be reachable following the tips below. Important: plug the ethernet cable in before applying power.
The receiver will be assigned an IP address by your DHCP and should immediately connect with the www.liquidLevels.com if it has internet access. Nothing will appear on the site until transmitters are activated.
If you want to determine the DHCP assigned IP address you can sniff for it with your sniffer (such as Advanced IP Scanner) or use the WiFi link to the Admin screens. Once you learn the IP address you can go to the local interface or administration screens. Open a browser and navigate to the interface screen at http://[assigned_IP_address]:8080. No data will populate the interface screen until the transmitters are activated. The local Admin screen can be found at http://[assigned_IP_address]. There you can configure the static IP address.
There is an active unbridged WiFi access available. On a WiFi equipped PC first connect to the WiFi network “AW-SVPA” with password. Then navigate to address 192.168.3.1 to see the admin screen, or 192.168.3.1:8080 to see the interface screen. The LOCAL Admin screen will show a banner with no sensor windows yet.
In order to connect the receiver to the Floodzilla network, the receiver itself must be told where to post data. Open a browser and navigate to the configuration screen at http://[assigned_IP_address]:8080/config. At the bottom of the page there will be a section labelled "HTTP Post". Fill it in as follows:
As the text at the bottom of the dialog says, if at any point we need to disable this receiver from sending data to Floodzilla, just remove the “Host” entry.
