Sensors Configuration Web UI

This page walks you through the configuration of your sensor using the Web UI+ interfaces. Whether you are setting up the sensor for the first time, adjusting scanner settings, configuring an internet connection, or exporting data, this guide covers each step in sequence. Follow the sections in order for initial setup, or jump to the relevant section if you are making a specific change.

Sensor Configuration Web UI+

The Web UI+ is an updated version of the sensor's local interface with an enhanced layout. The connection process and configuration options are the same as the standard Web UI - if you've already worked through that section, the structure here will feel familiar.

Connecting to the Web UI+

The Web UI+ is an updated version of the sensor's local web interface with an enhanced layout. The connection process is the same as the standard Web UI — you can connect via static IP or DHCP.

Static IP: Connect the sensor to your PC via Ethernet, then update your PC's Ethernet settings:

• IP: 192.168.0.20
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Apply these settings in your network adapter configuration exactly as shown above before proceeding.

Turn on the sensor, open Chrome or Firefox, and navigate to 192.168.0.22. The Web UI+ status page will load shortly.

DHCP: Connect the sensor to an office router via Ethernet. The router will assign an IP automatically. Find it in the router's device list or use http://smats-xxxxxx.local as the hostname, replacing xxxxxx with the last 6 digits of the sensor's serial number. Open a browser, enter the IP in the URL bar, and press Enter.

Log in with "admin" as both the username and password to access all configuration menus.

System Status

The System Status page in the Web UI+ shows the sensor's hardware and firmware versions, serial number, and clock sync status. A status of "True" confirms the clock is synced and the sensor is recording correctly. Verify this before starting data collection.

The Monitor section shows the sensor's connection status, GPS signal, SD card usage, and temperature and humidity readings. Check this panel to confirm connectivity and available storage before deploying.

The System Processes section lists all active background services and their statuses. Click "stdout" or "stderr" to view output for any process.

To view detailed logs for a specific process, click the "Action" dropdown for that process and select "View Logs".

The first image shows the Action dropdown menu. The second shows the log viewer - use this to troubleshoot any processes that are not running as expected.

Configurations Menu

The Configurations Menu is where you manage the sensor's core settings. The tabs below cover the key areas you'll need to configure before and during deployment.

General

The General tab contains the sensor's time zone, MAC Hashing setting, and Host Domain — the same fields as the standard Web UI. Confirm these settings match your deployment requirements before proceeding.

Scanner

The Scanner tab works the same way as in the standard Web UI. Set Auto Start, configure Range Test Mode if needed, and enter MAC addresses for range testing.

Ignore MAC Interval (in seconds) sets a window during which a repeated detection will not be re-recorded. Adjust this to manage storage usage.

Internet Connection (GSM Settings)

Internet connection settings in the Web UI+ work the same as in the standard Web UI. The first image shows the main GSM settings screen. The second shows additional fields that may appear depending on your SIM card provider. Configure your GSM, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet source under the Internet Connection tab.

VPN Settings

VPN configuration works the same as in the standard Web UI. If the pre-loaded VPN config is active, no action is needed. If it needs to be replaced, upload the new config file here before adjusting any other settings.

Monitor

The Monitor tab provides advanced configuration options for internet connection, VPN, Database Sweeper, and more. This section is intended for advanced users only. Do not make changes here unless you are specifically instructed to.

System Command

The System Command menu in the Web UI+ includes an expanded set of actions compared to the standard Web UI:

1. Restart Sensor
2. Force Restart Sensor
3. Restart XHub Service
4. Restart Database Service
5. Restart Redis Service
6. Restart Webssh Service
7. Prune Images
8. Truncate Records
9. Truncate Logs
10. Re-init Database
11. Backup Config (local)
12. Restore Config (from local config backup)
13. Download/Restore Config
14. Upload/Restore Config
15. Flush Redis
16. Check Latest Firmware Update
17. Pull Latest Firmware Update
18. Apply Latest Firmware Update

Use these options carefully - actions like Truncate Records and Re-init Database cannot be undone.

Data Export

The Export menu in the Web UI+ works the same as in the standard Web UI. Use it to download records.csv and config.csv.

records.csv contains the fingerprint (MAC address), detection type, signal strength (RSSI), and detection time.

Detection types follow the same coding as the standard Web UI. Use the table above to interpret the detection_type column in your exported data.

Important Note

Connect TrafficXHub Unit to the Internet Using Phone Hotspot

You can use the Hotspot feature on any iOS or Android cellphones to temporary connect the TrafficXHub unit to the internet.

The images above show the hotspot settings screens for both iOS and Android. On iOS, make sure Maximize Compatibility is enabled so the TrafficXHub can connect successfully. On Android, select the 2.4 GHz band - the TrafficXHub does not support 5 GHz connections.

iOS Hotspot Configuration / Android Hotspot Configurationn

Once your phone hotspot is configured, open the TrafficXHub Web UI configuration page and go to Config > Connectivity > Network. Set the values to match your hotspot credentials as shown below.

This screen is where you enter your hotspot's SSID and password. Make sure the values match exactly what is configured on your phone before saving.
