The Wi-Fi Timer Display is a networked Wi-Fi display. Once the display has been configured, it will join your
existing Wi-Fi network, allowing you to wirelessly start, stop, and monitor your timers from our free Android
and Apple iOS apps for smart phones and tablets. Easily add as many displays as you would like and control
them all at once, or on an individual basis.
Getting Started
The first step is to join your display to your Wi-Fi network. This can be done in two ways:
1) Configure the display from an Android/iOS app. [Section 2.1]
2) Configure the display from a computer. [Section 3.1]
Option 1: Quick Setup from app
1. Plug in the display.
2. Turn on your mobile device and connect to the Wi-Fi network "SoftAPxxxxxx".
3. Open the Microframe app on your mobile device.
4. Tap the icon "Display Settings" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
5. Tap the [>] button next to the display you want to setup.
6. Tap the [Display Setup] button.
7. Select the name of your Wi-Fi network from the list or type it in manually.
8. Type in the Wi-Fi password.
9. Optionally, set the display name and PIN number.
10. Press [Save], then wait 30 seconds for the display to connect.
Option 2: Quick Setup from computer
1. Plug in the display.
2. Connect the USB cable between the display and your computer.
3. Place the provided CD into your computer. (If you cannot find your CD, the software can be
downloaded from www.microframecorp.com.) The install program should prompt you to run.
4. Once open, select the name of your Wi-Fi network from the list and type in the password.
5. Optionally, set the display name and PIN number.
6. Press [Save], then wait 30 seconds for the display to connect.
Mounting
Once the display is configured, simply hang it on the wall at your desired location and plug it into power.
Smart phone or device
The Wi-Fi Timer Display is unique in that it works with an iOS and Android app. From within the app you can
configure your displays individually, and control timers on all the displays at the same time.

Setup Order
1. Connect display to computer
2. Open Config Utility
3. Select network from list
4. Type in network password
5. (Optional) Set Device Name
6. (Recommended) Set App PIN
7. Click [SAVE]. The button will
turn orange while connecting.
8. The button will turn red if failed,
or green if successful.
9. You may now disconnect the
display from the computer and
mount it on a wall.
Summary
The Basic version of the Config Utility is intended to make it easy to setup a new display. For additional
options, click the [Advanced] button. In order for this mode to work properly, the display must be in setup
mode.
Details
The SSID and Password are used to connect to your network. If your network does not show up in the list,
you can type it in manually under "SSID". If a password is entered, the utility will assume WPA/WPA2 security.
If no password is entered, it will assume no security.
The Device Name is used in the app.
The app PIN must match the PIN number set on your mobile app. It is strongly recommended that you change
this from the default of "0000" to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the display.
Re-enabling Setup Mode
To place the display back in Setup Mode, press and hold the Mode button. The display will start counting
down "r5", r4", etc. When it gets to "RST", release the button. The display will reset to factory defaults and
reboot automatically.

Summary
The “Advanced” version of the Config Utility allows for configuration of all Wi-Fi settings. It can also be left
running, and will log messages printed from the display. These messages are useful to have in case you
should need Technical Support.
Utility Button and Field Details
[Serial] – Shows the currently connected serial port.
[Connected/Disconnected] - Automatically scans for devices and prints results to the log. It will select the
device found last.
[Read All] - Reads back settings for all three panels of the utility. Optionally, you can read/write individual
panels using their respective buttons.
[Scan] - In Setup Mode it reads back the pre-scan list. If connected to an Access Point, will do a new scan
each time the button is clicked.
[SAVE] - Used to save settings if specific options are changed. Generally this will turn green if a save is
required.
[AP] - A list of Access Points (Wi-Fi networks) in range of the display. If blank try clicking the [Scan] button.
Stronger signals are indicated by a higher RSSI number. Selecting an entry from this list will automatically
set [NETT], [SECM], [SSID], and [BSSID].
[NETT] - Network type. Generally set to Infrastructure.
[SECM] - Security mode. Options are "Open" and "WPA/WPA2". WEP is insecure and not supported. WPA-
Personal mode is supported, but WPA-Enterprise mode is not.
[SSID] - The name of your organization’s Wi-Fi network.
Setup Order
1) Power Disp
2) Open Prog
3) Find
4) Read All
5) Scan
6) Select AP
7) Password
8) [Connect]

[BSSID] - The identity of your AP, typically printed on the bottom of the router. Setting this and clicking the
BSSID checkbox will force the display to always connect to this AP. For campus installations this can result
in a more reliable connection, as the display will not roam between APs.
[PASS] - The password for your organization’s network.
[PSK] - This allows the user to directly specify the 64-byte key used during the connection process. Once
connected, the display will automatically convert the entered password into a PSK. This PSK can be read
back from the display and used to setup other displays. The display connects much faster with a PSK. Thus,
when setting up multiple displays, it is more efficient to type in the password once, wait for the connection to
complete, read back the PSK, and then apply the PSK to additional displays.
[Connect] - Click this to apply the Wi-Fi Settings and connect to the new network. See the log to verify if the
connection was successful.
[DHCP] - To specify a static IP address for this display, uncheck this box.
[IPADD] - The static IP address for this display. When read back, the current IP address.
[NETM] - The netmask for this display. When read back, the current netmask.
[GATE] -The gateway for this display. When read back, the current gateway.
[NAME] - The name of the device. This is used in the app.
[PIN] - The PIN used by the app to connect to this display.
[Basic] - Switch back to “Basic” Config Utility mode.
[DIAG] - Diagnostics information that is useful for Technical Support.
[Reboot] - Restarts the display. In Setup Mode, this also causes a new pre-scan to be loaded.
[Clear Log] - Clears the log.
[Save Log] - Saves the log to a text file. This is useful for Technical Support.
[PING] - Causes the display to PING a website or IP address. This is useful to verify network connection
issues. Please note that the display has a built-in keep-alive service that pings the [GATE] address every
minute.
