USB Wi-Fi Connection
NOTE
: The user interface will be displayed on only one hardware connection (Wi-Fi or USB device cable) at
a time. The USB Wi-Fi connection takes precedence when plugged in. Thus, if using the USB device cable,
be sure to have the USB Wi-Fi adaptor unplugged from the data logger. If the USB device cable is active,
the Wi-Fi adaptor will have no effect when plugged in (i.e. the Wi-Fi signal will not be activated). The USB
device cable supports a single connection, whereas multiple devices can connect to the Wi-Fi adaptor at the
same time.
Plug in the USB Wi-Fi adaptor and press the Wi-Fi button to form a wireless connection with Storm3. In
essence the data logger will set up a Wi-Fi hotspot, which is ready when the internal LED on the Wi-Fi
adaptor starts blinking. This takes about 10 seconds.
Once the hotspot is active, navigate to the Wi-Fi networks setting of your Wi-Fi-enabled device. Refreshing
the list should reveal a Storm3 Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect to the hotspot. Connecting to the hotspot’s network
generally occurs within ten seconds. After successfully connecting, open a web browser and navigate to
http://172.20.20.20/
. If the hotspot connection was successful, the Storm3 user interface will appear in the
browser window.

can be refreshed by pressing the ‘Refresh’ button
in the upper right corner. Select the Storm network
and press the ‘Connect’ button (figure 3).
Once the connection has been established,
open a web browser and navigate to
http://172.20.20.20/
.

Wireless networks appear under the settings
application, listed under the Wi-Fi topic, and are
automatically refreshed every few seconds. Simply
touch a network to connect to it. A checkmark will
appear next to the network once a connection has
