Connect to Network and Configure
Establish Connection Between LocaXion Anchor
and Web Server
In order to change the LocaXion Anchor’s configuration from any
default configuration settings applied at the factory, power must be
applied� After applying power confirm that the red ‘POWER’ LED is
illuminated� Within approximately 7 - 10 seconds, possibly longer if the
LocaXion Anchor has been left unpowered at temperatures below -20
degrees C, the green ‘STATUS’ LED shall illuminate� Connection can
now be made between a computer and the LocaXion Anchor�
LocaXion Anchors are pre-configured to have the same SSID—
LocaXion_Anchor� If multiple LocaXion Anchors are powered up at the
same time it will be necessary to place the computer used to connect
to the LocaXion Anchor close to the Anchor of interest� The computer
will try to connect to the LocaXion Anchor exhibiting the strongest sig-
nal strength, which in this case should be the LocaXion Anchor closest
to the computer� An alternate and more reliable method would be to
remove power from all LocaXion Anchors except the one of interest,
though that option may not be practical or available to the installer�
NOTE: BW Technologies recommends that the default
WPA2-PSK passphrase be changed during system
commissioning� This will prevent unauthorized
access to the LocaXion Anchor configuration set-
tings� When entering a new passphrase, ensure that
it meets the minimum requirements established for
a WPA2-PSK password� The passphrase must be
between 8 - 63 ASCII characters in length�
Each LocaXion Anchor is shipped with WPA2-PSK security and wire-
less DHCP enabled� Before attempting to connect to the LocaXion
Anchor, ensure that the computer’s internet protocol properties are set
to obtain an IP address automatically� When prompted for the security
passphrase enter the following:
HON_AnchoR9LocaXion
After entering the WPA2-PSK security passphrase the authentication
process will take place and a connection to the LocaXion Anchor shall
be established�
Configure the LocaXion Anchor
The embedded web server built into the LocaXion Anchor’s radio mod-
ule allows a professional installer the ability to change configuration
settings and update firmware� It is accessible via web browsers such
as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome�
In order to change configuration settings or upload a firmware revision,
a connection to the LocaXion Anchor must be established� Once a
connection is established using the computers WiFi utility proceed to
open Internet Explorer and enter the following IP address into the URL
of the browser:
192�168�1�99
After entering the IP address a pop-up window should appear request-
ing a User Name and Password� Enter the following User Name and
Password as it appears below�
User name: Honeywell_LA
Password: HON_LocaXion_anchoR12
Upon entering the User Name and Password the radio modules web
server shall open� Configurations previously established at the factory
can now be changed, including the user name and password�
All LocaXion Anchors are shipped with the same security passphrase�
As such it may be desirable to establish a unique security passphrase
based on installation requirements� This is also true for the user name
and password� These and other settings can be changed from within
the web server� However, the level of user name and password that can
be changed is limited to the user name and password used to access
the web server and the levels below� User names and passwords in
higher levels cannot be changed�
NOTE: User name, Password, and Security Passphrase do
not require a redundant entry to ensure that desired
changes have been correctly entered� Additionally,
user names and passwords must be changed as a
set� Care must be taken when changing these set-
tings� An error during this process could prevent
future connections to the radio module and/or web
server after exiting the web server�
