Setting up neoVI PLASMA for wireless access
This document covers the basics of setting up a neoVI PLASMA on a wireless network. Not all settings and
options are covered, but the key settings to configure the neoVI PLASMA for wireless network access are
reviewed.
Setup a 3G connection:
To use a neoVI PLASMA with a 3G connection, a SIM card and antenna are required. Start with the PLASMA
disconnected from power. The SIM card is inserted into the slot on the neoVI PLASMA, which can be found
on the lower right side of the unit (see Figure 1). The card only fits in one way. The card contacts will face
up and the notch side is inserted first. The antenna is connected to the SMA connector on the left, circled in
Figure 1.

When the neoVI PLASMA powers up, it should find and configure itself to the inserted SIM card. The
connection can be tested using the Browser app, found in the App drawer, to try and access the internet.
To verify or change the Access Point Name (APN), open up the Mobile Network settings. This can be done
using the following steps.

Setup a Wi-Fi connection:
To use a Wi-Fi connection, a Wi-Fi antenna is required. The antenna needs to be a SMA 2.4G Wi-Fi
antenna. The connection to the neoVI PLASMA is made using the right most SMA connector. This is shown
on the left of Figure 8.

The configuration for Wi-Fi connectivity is setup like most Android based phones and tablets. The settings
can be found under Wireless & networks. Figure 9 to 13 describe how and where to find the required
settings.

The connection can be verified by opening a web page on the neoVI PLASMA. This can be done by
selecting “Browser” from the App drawer.

Setup WirelessneoVI:
Wireless neoVI is what connects and transfers collected data to a remote server. This is done in the
settings portion of the Wireless neoVI app that can be found in the App drawer. The required steps are
shown below.

If WirelessneoVI has any setting or connection problems, the Wireless neoVI icon in the upper left will have
a red X as shown in Figure 18. When the connection is successful, the red X will be removed. The first few
steps to resolve connection problems are to check that the antennas are properly connected and in range.
Also verify that the APN is correctly selected or Wi-Fi settings are correct for your network.
