XSwitch relays extend the reception area of XSole PTI insoles to no-signal areas.
To learn more about XSwitch features and uses have a look at its datasheet.
Setting up XSwitch relay
Assembly
First screw or plug XSwitch's antennas following instruction of the assembly guide. You may have an indoor or an outdoor version (ruggedized, waterproof format for external use) of the XSwitch relay.
Connection to XS Manager through GSM, Wifi or LAN
Communication with mobile network (GSM / LTE)
Connection to the GSM network is automatic.
The relay can connect to any European 2G, 3G or 4G operator.
Communication with a Wif network
To connect the relay to a Wifi network, contact TRAXxs and provde us the name (SSID) and password of the Wifi network so that we set up your device.
Communication with a wired LAN network
If you wish to connect the relay to a TCP/IP local area network (LAN) using an Ethernet cable, this is possible if the relay has an RJ45 socket (indoor: OK, outdoor: depending on version).
If addressing is automatic (DHCP), you don't need to do anything. If addressing is static, please contact TRAXxs to let us know which IP configuration to use.
Network security restrictions (firewall)
f you're using your company's Wifi or LAN network to connect the Wif, and a firewall is activated, please ask us about the ports and services used by the XSwitch relay.
If MAC address filtering is used, this is labeled on the relay casing.
If whitelisting or other restrictions are used, report the addition of this equipment to your IT security department.
Installation and communication with connected insoles
Once installed, simply position and plug in the XSwitch relay.
If the relay is communicating with one of the available networks (GSM, Wifi or LAN if configured), it will display a reception icon in XS Manager :
When insoles are communicating via the XSwitch relay, an additional icon appears next to its reception level:
With no significant obstacles (thick walls, metal walls, piles of materials, concrete floors, dense vegetation), the communication range with the base plates should be 200 to 300 meters.
