Visit the Wingbits dashboard and either sign into your existing account or create a new account.
If you had a station setup with a reserved location, you can skip to the next section
If you have not already registered a station and reserved a hex, you will need to visit the “My stations” page and click “Register new station” and follow the prompts to add your new station.
If you have a camera or phone that can scan a QR code, the easiest way to onboard your station to the Wingbits network is by scanning the QR code on the label on the bottom of your HYFIX device. This will pre-populate the Device Serial and Device Secret needed.
If you do not have a phone or other device that can scan a QR code, go to the onboarding page via this link.
After scanning the QR code or clicking the link, it will take you to the “Welcome Onboard” page. Scroll down and click on the “Proceed to Dashboard” button.
You will now arrive at the “My stations” page, and you should see a button next to your pre-registered station that says “Link device”. Click this button and you will see a pop-up window.
If you started by scanning the QR code, the Link Device pop-up should have the Device Serial and Device Secret information pre-filled. If you did not scan the QR code, these fields will be blank. However you can find the Device Serial labelled SN/W on the side label and the Device Secret on the bottom label.
The first 100 MGW310 devices do not have the WB serial number on the side label. If you do not use the QR code, you can find this serial number at the bottom of the page on the device's dashboard when you login to the device IP. It will be on the Wingbits Serial Number line and start with 0123.
Once the information is filled in, click the “Link Device” button on the bottom right of the pop-up. After processing, you should see a popup at the bottom right of the screen saying “Device linked successfully”.
The page should now update and you should see a serial number populated. Assuming your station is online and has a GPS signal, you should see an “Online” status as well as a tick next to the location field, indicating it has been successfully claimed. If you do not see the page update, wait a few minutes and then refresh the “My stations” page and it should update.
If you click on the station name, and then on the “Statistics” tab, you should see more info about the station, such as the last heartbeat time and other information from the client as shown below.
If you purchased a device which can also mine GEOD token such as the HYFIX MGW310 then you can now visit the GEODNET documentation website and follow the guide to add a base station to the console.
