Maintainance via Web Interface 

Most configuration can be done via the HUB web interface. First connect to the Wifi 
Hotspot with the name like FLATMUAVW-xxxxxx (.e. FLATMUAVW-000042 when 
the  serial  number  is  42)  and  the  given  password.  The  default  password  is  
“password”. Please make sure to change when configuring the device.  

On  the  OEM  variant  with  a  U.FL  connector  instead  of  an  PCB  antenna,  a  WiFi 
antenna needs to be connected. If not, the range might be insufficient for proper 
operation of the Web Interface. 

Open the address 

http://10.10.10.10

 in a browser of the device that is connected 

to  the  Hotspot.  The  Web  Interface  should  now  load.  On  the  Status  page,  the 
connectivity, system information and GNSS fix are shown. 

3.1

 

Updating the Firmware 

On the navigation bar of the page, go to “Maintenance”, “Firmware Update”. To 
update the Atom with a new PowerFLARM Firmware, a .fw file is needed. To update 
FLARM HUB, a .bin file is needed. 

3.2

 

Port Configuration 

The protocol and baudrate on the JST port can be configured on the Web Interface 
in “Configuration”, “FLARM”, “Data Port”.
