Get Started with your Hotspot
First of all, thank you for your trust in Controllino and for purchasing a Controllino Hotspot! We
hope that you will have a pleasant experience with it and earn some good amount of
HNT! Please read this guide carefully to get your hotspot running as quickly as possible.
Prepare your Hotspot
Please take out Controllino Hotspot of the packaging box and screw the antenna on it.
Next, plug in a LAN cable into your internet router and then into the Controllino
Hotspot.
Plug your Hotspot into the power outlet
Now, it’s finally time to plug your hotspot into the power outlet. Please follow the
instruction images carefully.
As you can see, we are using a DC plug with locking mechanism. This ensures that the
cable connection always remains stiff and stable and reduces chances that the cable
gets loosened or unplugged accidentally.

Wait for 45 minutes
Wait at least 45 minutes after plugging your Hotspot to the power outlet. Just let it
sit there and grab a coffee or tea in the meanwhile. This is needed to give your hotspot
some breathing time to fully boot up, start the syncing process and download any
updates that were released while it was on the way to you.
While you wait, you can dive in deeper into the official Helium Docs to learn and
understand how the network works, how your earnings work and many more.
Onboard your hotspot
Now that you waited for 45 minutes, it is finally time to link your Helium Wallet with
the Hotspot. This process is called "onboarding". During onboarding, you will link your
wallet with the hotspot and you will set the location, height and antenna settings.
Step 1: Visit Diagnostics Dashboard
Next, find out the IP address of your hotspot in your network and enter it in your
browser.
Hint: The IP Address can be found in your internet router dashboard. Most of the times,
there is a sticker on the back of your internet router. There, you will see a login IP or login
domain, a username and password. Use these credentials to login into your internet
router dashboard (enter the IP in the browser, as you would do with a website). Then, try
to find a list of connected devices and see if you can find a device called
"controllinohotspot". The IP address for "controllinohotspot" is the one that you need
to login into the Diagnostics Dashboard.
Now you have entered the dashboard. If this is your first time, you will need to set a
password.

Remember it carefully! You can only reset it when you are logged in. If you are logged
out of the dashboard and forgot your password, you will need to contact support, so
they can reset it for you.
Step 2: Generate a QR Code
Wait until the dashboard shows your miner name and miner height info. This can take
a few seconds and sometimes up to a minute.

S. 5
After that, open the "Onboarding" tab.
Here, you need to enter your wallet address of Helium App. You can find your address
in the Account tab in the Helium App on your phone or tablet.
There, you can click on the green Copy Address button:

S. 7
Copy your address into the "My Wallet address" input field and click on Submit.
Wait a few seconds until the page reloads and open the "Onboarding" tab again. You
will see your QR Code and can move to the next step.
Step 3: Scan the QR Code in Helium App or click the yellow
button
You can now scan the QR code with the Helium app, or (if you have the dashboard
open on your phone where you have your Helium App installed) click on the "Click here
to open the Helium App" yellow button.
Note: if the QR code crashes the Helium app or it throws errors, try to clear the QR code
with the dashboard button and regenerate it after 2 minutes.
Now, please follow the instructions in the Helium app. If you see a screen where it asks
you to choose your network, click on Use Ethernet instead on the bottom. Then, asert
your location. Your Hotspot will be asserted and you will see a “Registering your
Hotspot” screen. After a few seconds, a button will appear to close the message and
go to your wallet.
Now, the hotspot will be connected to the Helium Network, which can take a few
minutes and sometimes even up to a few hours.

S. 8
During this time, is is possible that the Helium app or Explorer doesn't show your
hotspot, or it shows “No Location asserted” in your list of hotspots, or it doesn’t list
your hotspot in the list at all. That’s normal, let it propagate for a few hours and
you will see it online.
Now you are done and your hotspot will start doing actions within the next few hours!
