Wi-FI
The Asset that Autonomo is being installed on MUST have a Wi-Fi adaptor and it must be enabled.
During installation, Wi-Fi or Ethernet MUST be connected so that the Asset created on the Troverlo platform can be auto-provisioned.
Autonomo requires the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter to operate (ie it is used to control the scan and beacon management).
You can check if the device has Wi-FI in several ways, here are the two easiest:
- Click on the start windows key and type "cmd," click on "run as an administrator"
- Type "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt - you are looking for:
- Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #...
- Type "wmic nic get MACAddress, Name" at the command prompt, you are looking for:
- Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #...
Autonomo Operational Modes
-
Scan Mode – when the device that is running Autonomo IS connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, it will scan for APs (access points) and post the results every 5 min to the Troverlo platform.
-
Beacon Mode – when the device that is running Autonomo is NOT connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, it will beacon regularly so it can be detected by an Observation Endpoint.
