Setup a Machine Control Instance

Create a new Machine

Connecting the hardware components to the server must be done via the 2log app. This is currently only available for Android. The APK can be downloaded here. For this reason, it is recommended to run the complete setup of the new machine directly via the app.

1. Log in to your 2log instance with your admin account.
2. Go to “Resources” and click on “Add” in the “Access control” box in the upper right corner
3. Enter a unique and preferably unambiguous name for the machine in the small pop-up window and then click on the “+” symbol.
4. The new machine should now appear as a tile. You will then be taken directly to the machine settings overview page.

Connet a Dot

In the machine settings there is a box with the heading “Dot”. Immediately after creating the machine, a note should appear here stating that no dot has yet been assigned.

1. Click on “Set up now”
2. Now you will be asked if you want to use a dot that was already used in the system or if you want to use a new dot.

Setup a new Dot

If you are setting up a new machine you will probably want to connect a new Dot.

3. Answer “no” to the question whether the Dot is already connected to the system. You will now be redirected to the Setup Wizard.

4. Follow the instructions dosplayed on the screen until the setup is complete.

   Note:

   The wizard will suggest the WiFi SSID your phone is currently connected to. If your WiFi has two separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, make sure you configure your Dot with the 2.4GHz WiFi. You can simply tap on the SSID and edit it manually.

5. If the setup is completed successfully, you have the possibility to test the connection by clicking on the “Blink” button. If the LEDs of the dot start blinking, everything has worked.

Setup an already connected Dot

If it is a Dot that is already connected to the server, continue here.

3. Answer “yes” to the question whether the Dot is already connected to the system.

4. Enter the four character address of the dot you want to assign to the machine.

5. If the setup is completed successfully, you have the possibility to test the connection by clicking on the “Blink” button. If the LEDs of the dot start blinking, everything has worked.
