Use the Setup Wizard to Get Started

Step 1:

Your computer may need some additional programs to access the Omega through a browser:

  • If you are using Windows, install Apple's Bonjour Service
  • If you are using OS X, you're all set to go
  • If you are using Linux, the Zeroconf services should already be installed and you will be good to go

Step 1.5:

Your Omega2 Prototype will have a note of some sort indicating the Omega's name. The Omega name will be Omega-ABCD where ABCD are four hexadecimal characters.

For reference, the one from the photos is named Omega-296A.

Connect to the Omega’s Access Point, it's named the same as your Omega.

Connect to AP

The default password is 12345678

Alternatively, you can also browse to http://192.168.3.1
