3. VELP Ermes Configuration

VELP Ermes is a revolutionary cloud platform that transforms and improves your laboratory experience by creating an ecosystem of
instruments, people and data. The VELP Ermes platform is able to reduce distances and accelerate scientific processes in total safety. In
order to access on ERMES, you need to enable your VELP account by selecting "Configure your VELP ERMES account" at
http://www.velp.com/en/login.
To be able to communicate, the instrument needs to be in the operating range of laboratory Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and be configured as follows:
• Switch on the AREX 6 Connect PRO and using the PC/Tablet/Mobile phone, select the AREX6_SERIAL NUMBER available on the Wi-
Fi list, in order to connect directly to the instrument.
• Open a browser on the PC/Tablet/Mobile phone and insert the address 192.168.0.50 to reach the configuration page.
• Set the parameters required to connect to your Wi-Fi (network name, password, security, mac address, etc.) according to your internal
procedure and save. As Passkey, insert "velp". If necessary, contact your IT administrator.
• Restart the AREX 6 Connect PRO (turn off and on) and wait until the Wi-Fi LED is ON constantly. If the LED is still flashing after 2
minutes, try the procedure again selecting "STAR AP YES" from the parameter menu (see chapter 6).
• Select OTC - - - - from the parameter menu (see chapter 6) and proceed with the product registration from the VELP Ermes platform. For
