Wireless Communication
The LabLynx communicates wirelessly using a Wi-Fi access point. LabLynx uses
802.11ac Wi-Fi and can transmit up to 256 channels of data.
Wireless access points come preconfigured. If needed, they can be configured to use any
available 5 GHz Wi-Fi channel. Signal strength decreases as the LabLynx is moved
further away from the access point. For optimal wireless communication, the access point
should be ceiling-mounted in the area where the LabLynx is used. See below.
Wireless Access Point Setup
If the access point needs to be configured, its interface can be accessed via a web
browser. The IP address for an access point received from Neuralynx is 192.168.4.1. The
PC accessing this IP address should be on the same subnet 192.168.4.xxx. The login to
the access point is:
•
Username: “admin”
•
Password: “cheetah”
Tips for Improving Wireless Communication
•
Minimize obstructions between the LabLynx and access point.
•
Minimize distance between the LabLynx and access point.
•
Ceiling-mount the access point over the area where the LabLynx is used.
•
If you are losing wireless data, use a computer with a Wi-Fi network card or use a
mobile phone to scan the area for wireless networks. Configure your access point
to use a clear 5 GHz channel. The further your channel is from other networks,
the better.
Contact Neuralynx if you need assistance with access point setup.
