Setup Wi-Fi Connection
After installing the FE Connect app on your mobile device, use the following procedure to
connect to a SubDrive Connect.
NOTE: The SubDrive Connect broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal for 15 minutes after being powered
on. If the drive has been powered longer than 15 minutes, power must be cycled off and
back on in order to restart the signal.
1.
After the drive has been powered on, the FE Connect light will shine continuously to
show that a connection is available. If the light is flashing, a previously-connected
device is within range of the drive and is trying to connect. Only one device can be
connected at a time.
2. While the FE Connect light is on, open the Wi-Fi connection settings on the mobile device. In the list of
available connections, select the hotspot named FECNCT_XXXXX. (XXXXX will be the end portion of
the drive serial number.) The light will flash while the connection is being made.
The Wi-Fi connection will stay active for an unlimited time, as long as the mobile device is not discon-
nected. If the connection is broken, the drive Wi-Fi will be available for reconnection for one hour.
After that time, the drive power must be cycled in order to reconnect.
3. After the mobile device is connected to the drive Wi-Fi, start the FE Connect app.
4. Tap SubDrive/MonoDrive Product Family to pair with the drive.
