Nano setup issues **solved**

[pwilman]

Hello,

Just got a lovely new nano, but having issues competing the first few steps. I have:

- taken all batteries and power cable from console
- inserted nano and put batteries/power back in
- nano booted up
- wifi network Vocore2 appeared
- connected to it with Ipad
- opened brower window and went to 192.168.169.1
- ipad failed to connect and came up with mesage "failed to connect to server"

I have tried removing nano and reseating
Powered down console and then restarted everything and then repeat of above with same results

Tried pressing the blue reset button, but LED just stays solid, and never blinks

Am I doing something wrong? Expected wifi network to be meteobridge, rather than Vocore2?

Help much appreciated.

Not sure if it’s relevant, but when I click on the network vocore2 it says that it’s an unsecured network.

If I logon on separately to my router to check what devices are connected there is one called “unknown” which has an IP address of 192.168.1.73. I am pretty sure this is the nano as it’s the only device connected that I don’t know.

should also have mentioned that was expecting to see network meteobridge...... but that never appears in my list of networks to connect to.

do you have your iPad set to use 5Ghz only perhaps? the Nano broadcasts on 2.4ghz

[pwilman]

I am not sure how to get iPhone or iPad to look at 2.4ghz. However, logged onto router to see all devices connected. I looked at both 5ghz and 2.4ghz on router.

Forgot to say that tried 2 iPads and iPhone so the “meteobridge .....” network didn’t appear on any device?

Is the Nano showing a red Led?

[pwilman]

Yep, it’s showing a steady red light on.

Just looking at my router connections again and the only device connected to my 2.4ghz signal is my iPhone. There is nothing else connected to 2.4ghz.

The “unknown” device connected is to the 5 ghz signal.

Do I have a faulty nano?

How far between the Nano and Router?

[Mattk]

- wifi network Vocore2 appeared

This one I have never seen?

[pwilman]

Hi,

The nano has been right next to the router.

Just tried with a windows machine and that doesn’t find any meteobridge SSID, just vocore2

perhaps a reset might work???

Reset
When NANO is stuck at blinking fast or LED is steady on you can do some reset operations by pressing
the small blue button on the NANO board next to the pin header. Which operation is triggered by pressing
the button is determined by how long you keep the button pressed. When pressing down the button the
LED will go off and will then start blinking slowly. You can now select a special reset operation by
keeping the button pressed until a specific number of blinks is done. These are the reset options to choose
from:

• Release button before first blink: NANO will indicate its IP by blink sequences. Please read
  www.meteobridge.com “getting started” section to learn how to read the blinks.
• Release button at first blink: Resets password of WiFi access point that the NANO provides for
  initial login. Password is set to “meteobridge” und NANO is rebooted.
• Release button at second blink: Resets HTTP password to “meteobridge” and reboots.
• Release button at fifth blink: Reset NANO to factory defaults (all settings are lost) and reboot.

I have tried to reset a few times. If I press the blue button the unit doesn’t reset, the red light just stays on and doesn’t start blinking....

I think then you need to contact your supplier and ask for a replacement. there is a 2 year warranty with it.
