PointGrab installation

Connect your laptop and the PointGrab CogniPoint™ sensor device to same network (on a router): both devices need an IP address

Use https://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ to detect all network interfaces on the connected router -> PointGrab devices will turn up in the list as “Raspberry Pi Foundation”

Insert IP address into the list on the package (“ip_list.txt”); just add them one below the other if you want to configure multiple PointGrabs for use over WiFi network

Run "PG device configuration tool" from File (In the root of the package)

Configuration tool for devices running versions lower than 5.1:

• Check box in front of WiFi > select WiFi-button

Configuration tool for devices running v5.1 or higher

1. Enter the device ID(s) that you want to manage today

   1. Upload Device list from File or

   2. Enter devices by entering the serial number and device IP. Press “add” to add the device to the devices list on the left
2. Upload the Authentication keys (provided by Pointgrab via the Spacewell Hardware team)
3. Select “Next”

1. Insert SSID name
2. If network password available: check box and insert password
3. If network has no password, don't check box
4. If you have hidden SSID network you can select this also
5. Run the changes
6. In the Configuration tool for devices running v5.1 or higher: confirm your changes

You'll get a confirmation stating if running the tool was successful.

After a couple of seconds, the PointGrab device will reboot.

1. On premise: the device will connect to the configured WiFi network, LED will turn off to indicate connection to the PointGrab Cloud
2. When remote: LED will be blinking blue because the device can’t connect to the WiFi

Connect a switch to your laptop with ethernet cable and share the internet connection from WiFi to the ethernet connection so that you get DHCP running there.

Run the Advanced IP scanner to get the MAC addresses of the PointGrabs when doing the configuration.

Configure the PointGrabs by setting the values in the configuration file to the correct SSID and no password:
network={
        ssid="ssid"
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

In this case, “ssid” is a placeholder for the relevant WiFi network name in your case

Run the WiFi configurator with the IP addresses in the list and got reasonable results like:

Connect the PointGrabs to the network.

Caution: Make sure the view direction marker on the adapter aligns with the required view direction.

• Into the ceiling
• In parallel to the ceiling, through the adapter side openings

Either through PoE or a power source which depends on the Pointgrab version available (see https://onespacewell.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/4357489364/PointGrab+hardware+and+network+requirements#Hardware-Requirements for more information):

• PoE: Connect the RJ-45 plug and route the Ethernet cable through the cable lead clips. (Only Shielded LAN cable should be used)

• Pointgrab version 1 (shipped with white package) DC Input: Connector/cable type = 2x Terminal Connector, 12-22AWG (Wire gauge 1.5mm2 / 15AWG); Power rating: 12V-24V

• Pointgrab version 2 (new package design is colored red; serial number that starts from 3000040) DC Input: Connector/cable type = USB-C; Power rating: 5V

Make sure the view direction arrow is pointing in the required direction. Attach the sensor securely to the adapter (there should be no gaps between the sensor and the adapter).

Once the sensor is installed it is important to remove lens/sensor cover (Lens cover of full sensor cover is dependent on production batch). Failing to do so will seriously effect sensor functionality.
