<translate> In this page you find instructions to connect your computer to MOD.
Mac OS
1. Turn on the MOD with the bluetooth adaptor connected
2. In your Mac, go to "Bluetooth" option at the System Preferences and wait for your MOD to appear as one of the available devices, according to the picture below.
3. Click the "Pair" button
4. In case a PIN is requested, use 1234. Depending on the Bluetooth version, the PIN won't be necessary.
5. Wait for the pairing process to finish. When it's done, the device will appear as "Not connected", according to the picture below.
5. Click with the right button on the device and then on "Connect to Network", according to the picture below.
6. That's it. Open Google Chrome and go to http://192.168.50.1
Windows 7
1. Turn on the MOD with the bluetooth adaptor connected
2. From the Control Panel, go to "Devices and Printers". In this window, click in "Add device" button, located at the top left window corner.
3. Wait for your MOD to appear as one of the available devices, according to the picture below.
4. Select the MOD device and click in "Next"
5. In case a PIN is requested, use 1234. Depending on the Bluetooth version, the PIN won't be necessary.
6. Wait for the pairing process to finish and then close the window.
6. Back to the "Devices and printers" screen, right click on MOD and select "Connect using" > "Access point", according to the picture below.

Pair devices
First, it's necessary to pair your computer with the MOD and discover the bluetooth address (something like 00:15:83:3D:0A:57). There are several ways to do that, for example:
- There's a default applet in Ubuntu for that
- You can use bluez-simple-agent
Any method will do, this step is not problematic.
Creating the network
This is the complex part. Although the MOD runs Linux, the network implementation at client side (your computer) does not work very well. After everything is configured you'll be able to use it without problems, but it's usual to see some error messages during the process and it might be necessary to retry the connection several times until you succeed.
To configure the network, use pand.
It's necessary to have the bluez-compat package (in Linux Mint and probably in oither debian-based distributions). The important thing is to have the "pand" command at command line. If you use a Debian-based distribution, you can use the following command:
- sudo apt-get install bluez-compat
Then, create the network (note that below there's a bluetooth address, substitute it for the address discovered at "Pair devices" section above):
- sudo pand --connect 00:15:83:3D:0A:57 -n
In case there's an error 71, try again the command above. Sometimes it's necessary to retry it several times.
The network is done, now you need to get an IP. Use the DHCP client of your choice, at interface bnep0, for example:
- sudo dhclient bnep0
That's it, you can open your browser and go to http://192.168.50.1 </translate>
