Establishing Host Connection and Power
ModuSio devices can be connected to the Network via Ethernet or Wifi. Please select the tab for your preferred option:
Ethernet: Network and Power Connection
When the MIO04 is connected to the host via Ethernet, the power should be provided via Power-Over-Ethernet.
ModuSio devices are Class 2 (3,84–6,49 W) PoE powered devices. Connect the ModuSio Device to a PoE source that can supply class 2 devices. ModuSios expect the PoE power as phantom power, i.e. using the Ethernet Tx and Rx pins.
The green LED on the MIO04 is turned on to indicate power is ok and firmware is up and running.
Initial Device Configuration
For initial configuration, connect the SERVICE interface to a computer via USB cable and start a terminal program. See Instructions for details.
Press Enter in the Terminal program, and you should see the config prompt:
config>
Configure Device ID
To identify the device in the network, configure a device ID. This ID is used as the network hostname and as a prefix to identify the services provided by the device.
Each device in the network shall have a unique name. The name shall consist only of alphanumeric characters, - and _. Avoid blanks and special characters.
config> device-id MIO04-1
Setting device-id to 'MIO04-1'
A 'reboot' is required to activate the new setting!
Select Ethernet as Host Interface
Configure the device for Ethernet operation. The device is configured for Ethernet when it is NOT configured for Wifi. So we clear Wifi settings:
config> wifi-ssid ""
Delete wifi-ssid
Info
You can ignore the message: Can't set wifi-ssid: ESP_ERR_NVS_NOT_FOUND. This is normal if wifi has not been configured before.
Wifi: Network and Power Connection
When using Wifi, supply the ModuSio by a power supply, capable of delivering 12V..24VDC, 5W. Use contacts 5+6 and 7+8 to supply the power. Polarity doesn't matter.
The green LED on the MIO04 is turned on to indicate power is ok and firmware is up and running.

config> device-id MIO04-1
Setting device-id to 'MIO04-1'
A 'reboot' is required to activate the new setting!
Select Wifi as Host Interface
Configure the device for Wifi operation. You need the Access Point's Name (SSID) and a password.
config> wifi-ssid <my-access-point-name>
config> wifi-pw <my-secret-password>
Warning
It is not possible to connect to Access Points that don't require a password.
Troubleshooting Wifi Connection
In case Wifi connection doesn't work, enter reboot in the SERVICE console and check the log messages.
Look for messages beginning with wifi: and io4edge_net:. In case of success, you see something like
...
I (848) wifi:connected with my-access-point-name, aid = 1, channel 6, BW20, bssid = ...
...
I (2573) io4edge_net: Got IP Address
I (2573) io4edge_net: ~~~~~~~~~~~
I (2573) io4edge_net: ETHIP:192.168.1.56
I (2574) io4edge_net: ETHMASK:255.255.255.0
I (2574) io4edge_net: ETHGW:192.168.1.1
I (2574) io4edge_net: ~~~~~~~~~~~
...
If connection establishment isn't successful, you see periodically something like this:
I (6954) io4edge_wifi: Disconnected, reconnect
You can also scan for available access points. To enable wifi scanning, just set a dummy access point name:
config> wifi-ssid foo
config> reboot
...
config> wifi-scan
Total APs scanned = 2
