5 Power your sq hub Communications Gateway
Plug the MPU 12V mains adapter into an accessible mains outlet.
Only use the mains adapter supplied by Grant Instruments for the external power source.
Insert the Jack plug into the sq16 External Power Input.
The sq hub will power on immediately. There is power on sequence. The sq hub is ready to used when
the LED Indicator is no longer Amber.
To power off your sqhub at any time, switch off the mains at the outlet or remove the Jack Plug.
The sq hub has a power off sequence. Do not plug the Jack Plug back in whilst the LED indicator is Red.
Your sq hub can provide power for up to two sq16 or sq16 plus loggers. Additional loggers can be
powered using a mains powered USB2 Hub (not supplied)
6 Connect SquirrelView Desktop Software to your sq hub
Ensure SquirrelView Desktop Software is installed and started and your sqhub is powered on.
Connect the sqhub to the same Ethernet Local Area Network as the PC using a network cable or W-Fi.
Using a network cable:
Connect an Ethernet cable directly between the sqhub Ethernet port and an available port on your local
area network. In SquirrelView the sqhub will be automatically discovered in the Device tree and is
identified by the unit Serial Number e.g. KW228007
Using Wi-Fi:
Ensure the sqhub is in Network Access mode, the indicator LED will double flash Green.
If not, press and hold the reset button (LED immediately goes blue), wait for LED to go green then
release.
On your PC, bring up a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
The sqhub will be available as a network shown as sqhub followed by the serial number
e.g. sqhub-KW2220007
Disconnect the PC Wi-Fi from your Local Area network and connect directly to the sqhub.
The sqhub Wi-Fi network security password is ‘granthub’
In SquirrelView, your new sqhub will appear in the Device Tree. Note that any existing sqhubs on a Wi-
Fi network will disconnect whilst this setup is in progress.
