Plug in, connect all components, and turn on the system. Place sticker the of the Ethernet port and the USB Ethernet Adapter: the stock port should be labeled "Internet Connection" while the USB Ethernet Adapter adds the second Ethernet network should be labeled "Idrive Wireless". The USB Ethernet Adapter should be permanently 2 sided taped to the case. The internet feed should be connected to the "Internet Connection" port, not the "Idrive Wireless" port.

Specific to Customer

Wireless Infrastructure

Base station orders are usually paired with access points (APs). An AP provides the wireless infrastructure that allows X series cameras to communicate with the base station via WiFi. An AP includes one of each of the following:

  • RB Groove unit
  • 35' FTP (foiled twisted pair) Cable
  • 24V PoE (power over ethernet) Adapter

The sales item "Base station with wireless infrastructure" that you might see on a quote includes 1 base station computer and 1 AP. Any additional APs required for an order will have their own line item. Please see the corresponding wiki page for basic RB Groove configuration.

IMPORTANT: Multiple APs

By default, an RB Groove unit will be programmed to communicate with the IP Address 192.168.0.7. If more than one AP will be present at a single location, each Groove will need a unique IP Address in the range 192.168.0.XXX. Typically we iterate up from -0.7 with -0.8, -0.9, etc. Please note that -0.1 and -0.2 are very common (and probably exist already in the customer's wireless infrastructure) and should not be used unless requested.

Changing the IP of a Groove is done through the Winbox application. See the RB Groove Configuration page for setup info.

  • Login to the AP via Winbox and navigate to IP\Addresses
  • Simply edit 192.168.0.7 to the desired address, save, and exit
  • Reconnect with the new IP to test.
Country Code

If an AP is to be exported to a foreign country, you will need to change the frequency list of the RB Groove. Please see the corresponding section of the wiki guide for RB Groove configuration.

<br\><br\>

More Setup

Set Customer’s Time Zone:
  • Click the clock in the bottom right
  • Select Change date and time settings...
  • Select Change time zone...
  • Use the drop down to select the appropriate option

Note: this is very important to be correct, because with all current Base Station we are allowing the BIOS to restart a machine that has been powered down. having the wrong time zone could make the 4:00AM auto start very late if the time and time zone is incorrect

<br\><br\>

Add Client to Partner List in Teamviewer:
  • Open Teamviewer
  • Log in on the right side panel (Talk to Mark if you need an account)
  • Click the drop down that has the icon of a person with a plus sign
  • Select Add remote computer
  • Enter in the Teamviewer ID and password specific to the base station you are working with
  • Set Alias to <Customer Name - Location Name - DP> (DP for Download Point)
  • Select Pending Activation in the Group drop down

<br\><br\>

Install Idrive Control Center:

Run the install file from the folder you copied from the USB, you do not have to extract.

  • Before this can be run to conclusion you will require a Validation Serial Number (License). This is generated in the Idrive Admin Center.
  • Find the new location in the Admin Center
  • Enter the license number when prompted

IMPORTANT

  1. Sign into the Control Center using the email address "support@idrive.pro" and password idrive2#

Do not accept the Idrive license agreement

  1. Click on Fleet Manager and Personnel
  2. Select the Admin User and click the edit tab
  3. Delete the Admin User
- There is no reason to have anyone sign in at the Micro Base Station Download Point as all the users will be operating the main Base Station Target Point
- The client can make any administrative changes on the Micro Base Station Download Point through their admin account at the main Base Station Target Point

Then go to Settings>Admin Settings

  1. Set the Auto Delete to 60 days and save
- Because the events are uploaded to the Amazon server and transferred to the Base Station Target Point there is no reason to keep copies on this station.
- 60 days is simply a fail-safe in case the Internet is out and the DP cannot send them to the TP before being deleted

NanoStation M5 Wireless Bridge Setup

The NanoStationM5 (NS5)is functionally similar to the NanoStation2 (NS2) but works in the 5.8GHz frequency range (802.11a) where as the NS2 works in the 2.4GHz range. Usually there are fewer nodes in the 5.8GHz range so it is implied that better stronger connections can be created using the 5.8GHz spectrum. This configuration is for creating a wireless bridge where on NS5 connects to a remote NS5 wirelessly when a wired connection cannot be used.

If you are using this setup you will be configuring 2 NS5 devices as a Pair.
