OverWatch - User - WiFi Access
The OverWatch includes an embedded web server, accessible via Wi-Fi.
The use of this interface is limited to
viewing the system’s diagnostic information, performing routine tests on all inputs/outputs and accessing the
time stamped log files.
Minimum system requirements:
Any smart phone, tablet or laptop that meets the following requirements:
• The device can connect to a Wi-Fi access point
• The device has an up to date web browser installed (2019 onwards). Firefox on Android and Safari on Apple are essential
Enable Wi-Fi Connection:
Sensor Swipe Method
The system’s Wi-Fi module is disabled by default. In order to enable Wi-Fi, the user must turn the machine on and allow the OverWatch to begin boot-up until the green light is visible. Within 10 seconds of power up (as the chime starts to play or announces Overwatch Version 9), place the palm of your hand on the edge of the sensor then swipe your thumb top to bottom, bottom to top, over the sensor, covering and uncovering it completely. The LED will blink in acknowledgement every time the sensor is covered then uncovered. Do this 3-5 times until you hear “Wifi On” being announced. Upon the OverWatch announcing “Wi-Fi On”, the user can access the web page by connecting to the module’s web server, using its SSID and generic WiFi password (12345678).
Dead-man Trigger Switch Method
Follow the
instructions below to switch on the OverWatch Wi-Fi with the dead-man trigger switch:
Power down the platform control box with the ESTOP. Wait 10 seconds. Power up the platform control box with the ESTOP. Toggle the dead-man joystick trigger 10 times or more within 10 seconds after power up. When the OverWatch detects more than 10 trigger presses an announcement “Wi-Fi On” will occur.
After the Wi-Fi is enabled, the user may connect to the Wi-Fi network. The SSID OverWatch_6253E_XXXX_XXXX
will appear, the XXXX_XXXX being the device’s unique serial number. Connect to the Wi-Fi network and enter the
generic access point password which is 12345678.
Accessing the Home Page:
Once the user’s Wi-Fi enabled device is connected to the OverWatch, open a web browser and enter the IP
address of the device’s internal web server 192.168.4.1
Press enter and the following main page will be displayed:
Proceed to the required screen by pressing on one of the on screen headings
When the installation test is required - Press on the 'Setup' heading
