An LTE internet connection for your Walk Over Weighing (WOW) system requires no setup, but you can check the performance using the Datamars WOW Configuration app.

Notes:

  • These instructions only apply to LTE enabled WOW systems.

  • Before you start, make sure that the 4G LTE antenna is connected to the control box:

To check the LTE internet connection:

  1. Position yourself next to the WOW system.

  2. Go into your mobile phone settings and check that Wi-Fi is set to On.

  3. From the list of available networks, select RemoteWOW and enter the password trutestRemoteWOW.

  4. Open a browser (e.g. Google or Safari) and type 192.168.50.1 into the address bar.

    This will launch the Datamars WOW Configuration app:

5. Scroll down to Current Signal.
The Signal Strength should be between -30 and -90 dBm.

  • If the Signal Strength is 0, check that the 4G LTE antenna is plugged in correctly on the control box (see pictures above).

  • If the Signal Strength is between -91 and -100 dBm, reposition the 4G LTE antenna. If this doesn't work, try a third-party antenna with a longer cable and/or a different location (e.g high on a pole).
