Tip

For faster setup, we recommend connecting over Wi‑Fi first.

Wi‑Fi​

Follow these steps to connect SenseXperience to your phone hotspot:

  1. On the device label, find the Wi‑Fi name and Wi‑Fi password. Typical values:
    • Name: SenseXperience_XXXXX
    • Password: minnanoIO2023
  2. Turn on your phone hotspot and set its network name and password to match the values above.
  3. Power on the SenseXperience device.
  4. The device will automatically search for and join your phone hotspot.
  5. Check the connected devices list on your phone hotspot to confirm the SenseXperience device has joined.
  6. Open a browser and go to the console address printed on the device label (typically http://io-XXXXX.local) to open the software console.
Phone browser cannot access the console?
  1. Connect a computer to your phone hotspot.
  2. Open a browser on the computer and go to the console address on the device label (typically http://io-XXXXX.local).
  3. Open Wi‑Fi management in the software to find the SenseXperience device IP address.
  4. Open a browser on your phone and go to that IP address.
Cannot connect using the Wi‑Fi on the device label?

You can also configure your phone hotspot with this fallback Wi‑Fi:

  • Name: IO_SenseXperience
  • Password: minnanoIO2023 When the device cannot find the Wi‑Fi network on the label, it will try to search for and automatically connect to this fallback network.

You can also change the network name and password you want the SenseXperience device to use on the Wi‑Fi management page.

Note

If you use an iPhone hotspot, do not enable Maximize Compatibility; it can degrade connection quality.

Ethernet​

  1. Connect SenseXperience to your computer with an Ethernet cable.
  2. Enable Internet sharing on your computer:
  • Linux (these steps apply to the default GNOME desktop on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04):
    • Open Settings.
    • Go to Network.
    • Select the wired connection to the device and click the gear icon.
    • Open the IPv4 tab.
    • Set Method to Shared to other computers.
    • Click Apply.
    • If prompted to reconnect, turn the wired connection off and on again.
  • Windows:
    • Press Win + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter to open the list of network adapters (Wi‑Fi and Ethernet, depending on your computer configuration).
    • Find the Ethernet or WLAN adapter that is currently connected to the Internet.
    • Right-click it and select Properties.
    • Open the Sharing tab.
    • Check Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection.
    • In the Home networking connection dropdown, select the Ethernet adapter connected to the embedded device. If your computer has only two network adapters, it is normal not to see the Home networking connection menu; Windows will choose the shared network automatically.
    • Click OK.
  1. Open a browser and go to the console address printed on the device label (typically http://io-XXXXX.local) to open the software console.
Computer browser cannot access the console?

If you cannot resolve the console address, try the following:

  1. Switch to a Wi‑Fi connection instead.
  2. Connect through a router.
  3. Follow Installing and using nmap to install nmap and scan for the SenseXperience device IP address.
