Security, Design and Operation
The Autoclave Logger Thing (aLT) is designed to operate on a majority of 802.11 b/g/n
networks using standard protocols. DHCP and Static IP setup is an option.
The aLT has been designed to operate securely. Once setup, all incoming connections are
disabled. Only 2 secure outgoing connections occur over secure HTTPS connection protocols.
For Security the aLT requires a password to connect to it. The password is the device serial
number. The network configuration page is only available upon initial startup or after a hard
reset. This security feature is to prevents unauthorized access to the device and your network.
After the configuration and setup all other incoming data is disabled.
SD Card may be removed when not running a cycle, if the card is removed during a cycle it
will not be properly saved and will corrupt the data for the entire run. Removing the SD card
when logging must be avoided.
The reset button located to the left if the cable connector (figure 1) serves 2 purposes: First, a
quick press displays the IP address of the wireless connection. Second, a hard reset (held for 3
seconds) will erase all configuration data. This should be used only if you are changing

networks, the network password has changedor you are changing between DHCP and static
protocols.
The only function of the aLT is to mechanically record the data from the autoclave, save it
and upload it to the cloud. All proper loading, handling, storing and Biological testing should
be performed in accordance with the autoclave manufacturer.
The aLT is equipped with a battery (CR1220) to back up the Real Time Clock in the event of a
power failure. This retains the clack time and date after a power failure. With normal use the
battery should last 5 years or more. It is recommended to replace the battery every 5 years to
ensure stable operation and to prevent leakage due to a severely discharged battery.
