WARNING
- The following setup should only be considered as a last resort: Only activate it if other attempts to integrate the default Hotspot that is delivered with scanner have failed!
- Do not activate this setup unless you have previously contacted the corpus.e support - or if you have done it before successfully
- While this setup may "work" - it is not able to deliver the same performance and stability as the default setup
The following steps will describe how to create a "minimal" Fallback-Setup for the Network that does not need the lightbeam-Hotspot:
Step-by-step guide
- Check the Computer Requirements:
- PC needs to have a LAN-port for cabled Network connections
- PC needs to additionally allow WiFi-connections
- Disconnect the WiFi
- For the setup procedure temporarily disable all WiFi-connections on the PC!
- For the setup procedure temporarily disable all WiFi-connections on the PC!
- Connect the LAN-cable
- Connect the customers LAN-cable which is providing Internet access to LAN-port of the PC
- Make sure the cable is undamaged and properly connected
- Make sure the cable is working e.g. by opening a browser and performing a basic Google-search "www.google.com"
- Check the cable/Internet Requirements:
- Using the browser navigate to the corpus.e Box: https://box.shooiq.com/
- Open and start the "Cloud Connection Test" - which can be found in the lower left corner:
- If any of the tests fails or results in a Timeout let the IT check and fix the requirements:

- Prepare the Scanner/Mover:
- Make sure the plate/stage is powered ON
- Put the Mover at the magnetic Parking position
- Switch the Mover on ... after 10-20 seconds the LEDs should look like this:
(the LED named "connected" does NOT have to be lit up! - it's merely optional)
- Connect the WiFi to the Scanner:
- Enable the WiFi of the PC again!
- Connect to the WiFi of the Scanner/Mover by selecting the entry "lightbeam_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
where the number represents the #Serial of the Mover, e.g. - Use and store the password "wireless" for this connection
- NOTE: Ignore the warning, that this new WiFi connection does not provide Internet access!
=> This is absolutely normal as it's a local connection only
- Check the Scanner connection:
- Start the shooIQ-Software
- Login using your credentials
- Use the lower navigation bar to select the layer "Feet / Scan"
- After 0-20 seconds the screen should look something like this:
- The box named "Scanner" will show the serial number of the Mover
- The two little feet on the button will turn green -
indicating that everything is ready and a scan can be started!!! - If this should not be the case let the IT check the Firewall- and AntiVirus-settings of the PC
The Computer has to allow/accept free communication to and from the WiFi-connection above
The following steps will describe how to create an alternative Fallback-Setup 2 in case the hotspot and computer are only connected via WiFi:
Step-by-step guide
- Check the Computer Requirements:
- PC needs to allow WiFi-connections
- The PC needs to be in reach of the Hotspot router's Wifi signal
- PC needs to allow WiFi-connections
- Connect the LAN-cable
- Connect the customers LAN-cable which is providing Internet access to the LAN-port of the Hotspot
- Connect the PC to the Wifi network of the Hotspot usually "lightbeam_hotspot"
- Make sure the cable is working e.g. by opening a browser and performing a basic Google-search "www.google.com"
- Check the cable/Internet Requirements:
- Using the browser navigate to the corpus.e Box: https://box.shooiq.com/
