Setup Information
This section describes how to integrate Tmote Connect into your local area network. Tmote
Connect is designed to work both with DHCP and without DHCP. DHCP is preferred for all
Tmote Connect installations; whereas non-DHCP operation may be suitable for small
installations on private networks.
Package Contents
1 Linksys NSLU2 unit with Moteiv Tmote Connect software
1 Ethernet Cable (6ft length)
1 110V AC to 5V DC power adapter
1 Tmote Connect datasheet (this document)
Optional Accessories available from Moteiv
1 Power-over-Ethernet 802.3af Adaptor Kit
2 Moteiv 1 meter USB A-A extension cables
Connecting Tmote Connect to your network
1. Make a note of the Tmote Connect hostname and MAC address
found on the bottom of the enclosure. If the label displays a MAC
address (00:04:5A:xx:yy:zz, 00:0F:66:xx:yy:zz, or 00:13:10:xx:yy:zz)
then the resulting hostname is LKGxxyyzz. If the label displays a
hostname in the form LKGxxyyzz, then the full MAC address is the
combination of xx:yy:zz with one of the above MAC address prefixes
(ie: 00:04:5A:xx:yy:zz).
2. Attach the Tmote Connect’s Ethernet port to your hub, switch, or
Ethernet outlet with the included Ethernet cable
3. Connect your Tmote Sky modules to the USB ports
4. Attach the Tmote Connect’s power port to an electrical output with the included power
cord
5. Tmote Connect will automatically power on when the power cord is connected
6. Tmote Connect will run a self test followed by a boot process. When it is ready to be
accessed it will beep once.
7. If a Tmote Sky module is connected to the “Disk 1” port, then the Disk 1 LED will be lit;
likewise, if a Tmote Sky module is connected to the “Disk 2” port, then the Disk 2 LED
will be lit.
Installation on DHCP-enabled networks
If your DHCP server integrates the client hostname into the naming service (Dynamic DNS), the
task of finding Tmote Connect on your network is easy – it is simply assigned the hostname
LKGxxyyzz that you noted in step 1 of the installation. If your DHCP server does not
communicate with the naming service (as is the case with many of the inexpensive consumer
gateways) or uses a different naming scheme, you must access your DHCP server’s client data.
Most DHCP servers, including devices from Linksys and other major manufacturers, provide a
mapping table with the IP address and hostname of the connected Tmote Connect device using
MAC Addresses.
