You will need the following material:

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:
ipconfig
And look for theDefault 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:
ping google.com
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:
ipconfig
And look for theDefault 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).

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).
