Nodia Device Setup Guide
Get your Nodia Core, Edge, or Atlas up and running and start earning in just 10 simple steps.
1. Choose Your Location
Ventilation & Temperature: Place the device in a cool (15–30 °C), well-ventilated spot.
Proximity to Network: Within 1 m of your router or switch for Ethernet; within Wi-Fi range if using wireless.
Avoid Obstructions: Keep away from metal cabinets, large water bodies (e.g., aquariums), and direct sunlight.
2. Unbox & Verify Contents
Inside the box you should find:
Nodia Device (Core / Edge / Atlas)
Power Adapter
Ethernet Cable
Quick Start Guide
Warranty & Safety Leaflet
If any item is missing or damaged, contact support@nodia.io before proceeding.
3. Connect Power & Network
Power: Insert the power adapter into the device’s DC input and into a surge-protected outlet.
Ethernet (Recommended): Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your router/switch LAN port and the other into the device’s LAN port.
LED Check: On power-up, the LED will blink white—indicating boot. Wait for a solid green to confirm basic network reachability.
Optional (Edge/Atlas): To use Wi-Fi instead, skip Ethernet and configure wireless in Step 8.
4. Firmware Auto-Update
Once networked, the device will automatically download and install the latest firmware (takes ~2–3 minutes).
LED Behavior:
Blinking White: Updating
Solid Green: Firmware up-to-date & connected
Blinking Red: Update failed—power cycle and retry
5. Install the Nodia Dashboard
Web: Navigate to dashboard.nodia.io
Create an account or log in with your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom).
6. Authenticate & Wallet Connection
In the Dashboard, click Connect Wallet and select your Solana wallet.
Authorize on-chain access to receive NODIA rewards.
Verify your wallet address appears under Profile → Wallet.
7. Register Your Device
In Dashboard, go to My Nodes→ Setup & Configuration.
Scan the QR code on your Nodia unit (or enter its serial number manually).
Confirm the on-chain activation transaction in your wallet.
The device status will change from Pending to Active within 2–5 minutes.
8. Network Configuration & Wi-Fi Setup
Ethernet Mode
Ensure the Ethernet link light is solid on both router and device.
Run Dashboard Diagnostics → Network Test; target ≥ 50 Mbps.
Wi-Fi Mode (Edge/Atlas Only)
In Devices → [Your Device] → Settings → Network, select your SSID.
Enter WPA3 credentials (WPA2 acceptable).
Click Save and wait for Connected status.
9. Mounting & Positioning
Flat Surface: Place on a stable shelf or desk.
Wall-Mount (Optional): Use included bracket; mount at 1.5–2 m height for maximum coverage.
Orientation: Face the device’s antenna/disc toward your main coverage area.
Clearance: Leave at least 10 cm clearance on all sides for airflow.
10. Validate & Start Earning
In Dashboard Live Task Monitor, confirm you see incoming jobs within 5–10 minutes.
