Configuration

1. Open the Safetrust Wallet

Open the Safetrust Wallet App and select the 'Manage Sensor' tab from the navigation. Ensure your system administrator has set you up with a role that has rights to configure a sensor (e.g., Admin, Installer).

2. Choose a sensor to manage

With the 'Manage Sensor' tab open, bring your phone within range of the sensor. Once the sensor appears in the app, click on it to select it.

Note: If the sensor does not appear immediately, you may need to click the refresh button in the top right-hand corner.

Once the sensor is highlighted, click 'CONFIGURE' from the bottom options.

The right shows a list of detected sensors, with 'SABRE-CDDB' selected, displaying signal strength and configuration options like 'CONFIGURE', 'SERVICE', 'UPDATE'.]

3. Input sensor information

The settings screen displays a range of configuration options for the sensor. The main settings requiring action include:

• Choose an Identity System.
• Specify the Type of access from the dropdown (e.g., Computer, Printer).
• Assign a short Name and Description using alphanumeric characters.
• Choose an Output for the sensor (the default is set to USB Keyboard).

4. Configure Wi-Fi

Tap the 'Configure Wi-Fi' toggle to add a Wi-Fi configuration. Select an available Wi-Fi Profile or manually enter Wi-Fi details.

Note: The IoT USB will restart to apply the changes to the configuration.

5. Configuration Complete

Once you have adjusted all the configuration settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'SUBMIT' to successfully complete the sensor configuration. When the Sensor information is saved successfully to Credential Manager and assigned to the Identity System, the new description will appear in the 'Manage Sensor' tab with a unique serial number assigned.
