1 0BIntroduction

The following quick start programming guide provides basic

instructions for connecting your WeatherHub4 to your weather

station and router and the Internet.

Note: Ambient Weather uses the terms WeatherHub4 and

MeteoHub interchangeably. WeatherHub4 is the complete

product, including the Linux computer (Silverstone DC01), and

operating system. The operating system is referred to as

MeteoHub, developed by HTUwww.MeteoHub.deUTH .

Note: The WeatherHub4 Network Storage Device has been

programmed by Ambient Weather before you receive it. For

warranty replacement, please contact Ambient Weather directly.

Ambient Weather warranties this product for 1 year.

The unit has been tested thoroughly before shipping.

2 1BPacking List

The packing list is as follows:

1. WeatherHub4 Linux Computer (DC01)

2. WeatherHub4 AC adaptor

3. Ethernet Cable

4. WeatherHub4 CD

5. Belkin USB2.0 Hub

6. D-Link Wireless N USB adaptor (optional, for WiFi

connectivity)

3 2BConnections

Connect the WeatherHub4 Computer as follows (reference XFigure

1X):

1. Connect the weather station USB connection into the

USB port on the back of the WeatherHub4.

Note: If you have a weather station with a serial port, you

will need a USB converter and serial cable available here:

HTUhttp://www.ambientweather.com/cousbto9sead.htmlUTH and

HTUhttp://www.ambientweather.com/secoca6.htmlUT

If your weather station does not support USB 2.0, you will

need to connect the USB hub (included) between the

weather station console and the WeahtherHub4, as

shown in Figure 2.

Use USB Hub for 1.X. No USB hub required for 2.0.

2. Connect the WeatherHub4 to your router or switch.

Note: a cabled connection is required to configure the

device. It can later be disconnected after the optional WiFi

LAN is configured.

3. Connect the AC power adaptor to the WeatherHub4. The

unit will turn on and the status light on the front of the

WeatherHub4 will turn blue. Once the boot up sequence

is complete, the status light will flash purple, then solid

purple (approximately three minutes after power up).

NOTE: if you are connecting to a Wifi Network and

purchased the optional Wireless N Nano, USB Adapter,

connection and configuration of this device is outlined in

Section X11X, XConfiguring as a WIFI DeviceX.

4 3BIP Addressing

The WeatherHub4 is programmed from the factory for dynamic

addressing (or DHCP). This allows to you to address the unit from

any computer on your network without modifying the IP address.

However, since it is dynamic, you will have to determine the

address that was assigned to the unit.

To determine this address, load and install the IPScan tool

provided on the CD. You can also download it here:

HTUhttp://www.download25.com/install/free-ip-scanner.htmlUT

For Mac and Linux users, visit:

HTUhttp://www.angryip.org/w/DownloadUT

Select the Start Scanning button. After the scan is complete,

locate the IP address associated with the Host Name

METEOPLUG (or METEOHUB). In the example figure below, the

IP address was assigned to 192.168.1.77.

Figure 3

cabled or WIFI (with optional Wireless N Nano USB Adaptor)

connection. This information is sent to the various weather

networks via the World Wide Web.

The device sends the data via http write commands (similar to

your web browser), using Port 80.

You can also FTP data to your own website.

Shutdown button. Verify the WeatherHub4 power is off

by monitoring the light on the front of the unit.

11. Disconnect the LAN connection from your router to avoid

conflict with the Wireless LAN (WLAN).

12. Power up the WeatherHub4 by pressing the switch on

the back of the unit. After several minutes, the light on the

front of the unit will turn purple and you can now access

the device through the WLAN IP address obtained in the

previous step.

NOTE: If you lose wireless connectivity, you can still connect via

the Ethernet cable and scan for the device again as described in

Section X4X.

NOTE: You cannot “hot swap” the LAN and WLAN connections.

You must power down the WeatherHub4 and disconnect the LAN

connection prior to operating the WLAN connection.
