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 re-
start the signal.
After the drive has been powered on, the FE Connect light will shine continuously to show that a connec-
tion 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.
1.
Open the Wi-Fi connection settings on the mobile device while
the FE Connect light is on.
2. In the list of available connections, select the hotspot named
FECNCT_XXXXX.
•
XXXXX will be the end of the drive serial number.
•
The light will flash while the connection is being made.
NOTE: 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.
