Options for Connecting to the Poco Module

WiFi

WiFi access point
The Poco by default serves as a WiFi access point (AP). This connection is good for updating firmware and importing and exporting configuration files as well as testing and configuration. The SSID is “poco-xxxx” where xxxx is a unique ID that is hardware-dependent. The default password is located on the back of your Poco device. WiFi settings can be customized/disabled under the Ethernet/WiFi configuration on the maintenance page. The WiFi IP address for connecting to the server is 192.168.4.1 (some devices may support http://poco.local).

Connecting to an existing access point
The wireless connection can also be configured for connecting Poco to the existing WiFi network on the Ethernet/WiFi configuration page. The IP address given will depend on the DHCP server and can be determined from the Access point connection status page.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth
Poco is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 or greater and supports Android and iOS devices with an application downloadable from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Wired

Wired Network
To use the 10/100 Base T network connection for communicating, the POCO device must be connected with a standard Ethernet cable (not included) to a device. If all network ports are used for other system components, a network switch must be used to split the network traffic between two or more networked devices.
