-====== Internet setup ====== 
  
-==== Purpose and scope ==== 
- 
-This page describes the procedures used to successfully install the local router, the mobile hotspot and secure the network. 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Prerequisite ==== 
- 
-Before starting, check that you can access the internet on your health facility's site. If this is the case, follow the following procedure:  [[internet#Local router setup (Online facilities)]]. \\ Otherwise, if you need a mobile hotspot, follow a different approach: [[internet#Local router and smartphone hotspot setup (Offline facilities)]] 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Material ==== 
-You will need the following material: 
-  * A router 
-  * A SIM card 
-  * A smartphone 
-  * A mobile hotspot (if no internet access on health facility's site) 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Local router setup (Online facilities) ==== 
- 
-In this section, we will setup a single router connected to the internet using a SIM card. This router will give internet access to the medAL-hub and/or tablets. Follow this procedure: 
- 
-  - Check the sim card’s phone number:  
-    - Insert it in a phone. 
-    - For VODACOM, call //*106#//. 
-    - Select //1//. 
-    - Write it down. 
-  - Insert the sim card in the router. 
-  - Turn on the router. 
-  - Connect your computer to the router (using an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi). 
-  - Identify the router IP address. If you are on Windows, run the command: \\ <code>ipconfig</code> \\ And look for the ''Default Gateway'' IP address. 
-  - Write the IP address in the web browser url space and press //Enter//. 
-  - Enter the default admin credentials (username should be //admin// and password should either be //password// or empty string). 
-  - Change the router admin password. Strong password is highly recommended: \\ username: //admin// \\ password: //Dain@m1c// 
-  - Update the wireless ssid and its password to: \\ ssid: //health_facility_dynamic// \\ password: //SbqCdzBoW8amSx// 
-  - Save the configuration. 
-  - Buy the internet bundle. This can be done by inserting the SIM card into a smartphone, and adding funds to the SIM card. 
-  - Connect to this new network and check that you have access to the internet: \\ <code>ping google.com</code> 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-==== Local router and smartphone hotspot setup (Offline facilities) ==== 
- 
-In this section, we will setup a first router to offer a local network on site. This will allow the hub and tablets to communicate to each other. A second mobile hotspot connected to the internet will also be available to export data regularly. To configure the local router, follow this procedure: 
- 
-  - Turn on the router. 
-  - Connect your computer to the router (using an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi). 
-  - Identify the router IP address. If you are on Windows, run the command: \\ <code>ipconfig</code> \\ And look for the ''Default Gateway'' IP address. 
-  - Write the IP address in the web browser url space and press //Enter//. 
-  - Enter the default admin credentials (username should be //admin// and password should either be //password// or empty string). 
-  - Change the router admin password. Strong password is highly recommended: \\ username: //admin// \\ password: //Dain@m1c// 
-  - Update the wireless ssid and password to: \\ ssid: //health_facility_dynamic// \\ password: //SbqCdzBoW8amSx// 
-  - Save the configuration. 
- 
-Finally, make sure you own a hotspot which connects to the internet.  
-  - Change the wireless ssid and password to: \\ ssid: //mobile_dynamic// \\ password: //yicoxZ8afL2MX6// 
-  - Connect to this new network and check that you have access to the internet (before testing, make sure that you are in a propitious location where your hotspot can have mobile network access).
