Setup Wi-Fi Connection
After installing the FE Connect app on your mobile device, use the following
procedure to connect to a SubDrive/MonoDrive Connect.
NOTE: The SubDrive/MonoDrive 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 disconnected. 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.
