When you first log into the Catapult Vector App from your device, you will be prompted to set up your Vector Dock. As part of the multi-dock support* you will be able to register all of your docks to your account during this initial setup. The docks are set up one at a time.
*Requires Catapult Vector version 1.2.9 or above.
Note: Only the main OpenField account can be used to log in to the Catapult Vector App to run live activities, manage the dock, and map devices.
To Set Up Vector Dock(s)
- Log into the Catapult Vector App ensuring your device has Bluetooth enabled.
- Plug your dock into the power supply and turn on the dock.
- Wait for all LED's to show a solid state and select Next at the bottom of the Vector App screen.
- Select the dock you want to set up once the ID appears after scanning, and hit Next at the bottom of the screen.
Note: your dock ID is the last 5 digits printed on the QR label found on the front of the Dock. - Select the WiFi you wish to connect the dock to and enter the WiFi password, then hit Connect.
Important Notes:
- Only ASCII characters are supported in the passwords when setting up WiFi.
- Vector Core does not directly support Captive Portal networks (typically used by business centres and public venues that offer free WiFi hotspots). However, in these cases you can either:
- add your Dock's MAC address to an allowlist (for more details see How Do I Connect to a Captive Portal Network?), or
- log in to a non-captive portal network, or
- use a mobile hotspot
- Connectivity will now be assessed in three phases:
- Connection of your dock to your chosen WiFi access point
- Connection of your dock to the internet via your chosen WiFi access point
- Connection to the OpenField services to register your dock and configure your dock and devices
- Once the dock has successfully connected to the OpenField Cloud it will notify you that it is ready to use.
- To register additional dock(s), select Set up Another Dock at the bottom of the screen, and repeat steps 2-7, otherwise skip to the next step.
- Configure Vector Devices as follows:
- Plug them into the Vector Dock
- Wait for the LED connection to show on the devices
- Unplug the devices and allow them to power up
- Plug the devices back into the dock
- When done, select Finish Setup at the bottom of the page and you will be directed to the Catapult Vector Activity page.
