Requirements and Preparation

Info

For networks requiring network based authentication or certificates for WiFi connections, see our Advanced Robot WiFi Networking Guide.

Warning

When getting started, a help desk ticket will need to be submitted with your local organizations IT department. Please include the following table of requirements, network security requirements, and unsupported configurations.

Requirements:

  • Apple iPad’s for student & teacher

  • A milo robot with power connected.

  • Recommended Internet speed of 5Mb/s or greater.

  • 10/100 Ethernet or 2.4Ghz WiFi connection for robot 

See How-to Connect your Robot to 5GHz WiFi for additional instructions if only 5Ghz WiFi is available.

Network Security Requirements:

  • Tablets & Robots must be able to establish TCP connections on ports 80 and 8080 to *.robokind.us and d23kggeguwanja.cloudfront.net.

Info

If a network firewall is not able to use a wildcard for *.robokind.us, the specific DNS names are: downloads.robokind.us, auth.robokind.us, data.robokind.us, cdn-api.robokind.us, and d23kggeguwanja.cloudfront.net

E-mail requirements:

Unsupported Configurations:

  • Guest WiFi networks

  • WiFi SSID’s that are hidden

  • WiFi SSID’s that have international characters or apostrophe’s

  • Tablets & Robots connected to different WiFi SSID’s.

  • Port Isolation or AP isolation mode on connected switches, routers or Wireless Access Points - these effectively prevent direct communication between the iPad’s and the robots, and will prevent lessons from running.

  • WiFi networks using WEP security (not recommended/supported due to security vulnerabilities)

Info

Some of these configurations may be possible, however given the wide range of networking configurations, RoboKind cannot provide detailed troubleshooting support in these cases.

Basic Robot setup for 10/100 Ethernet:

  1. Connect an Ethernet cord to the robot.

  2. Power the robot on.

  3. If the IP address is not visible on the home screen, see How-to Show the IP Address of the Robot

Basic robot setup for WPA or WPA2 with a password:

...

Your robot will tell you if it has successfully connected to the WiFi and will automatically run a diagnostic test. Allow this test to complete.

Note

If you get an error message at this step, please see the instructions under How-to Run a To Test Robot Network TestConnectivity to interpret the results.

Validating the Setup:

Please test your connection and make note of your IP Address.
