Hardware Registration > Register the locators installed on-site using the GeoSpace Mobile app. Hardware registration prepares the locators that were installed and powered in [4. On-Site Locator Installation](/en/locator/install) to be registered with the GeoSpace server. Once you configure Wi-Fi on each locator with the GeoSpace Mobile app, the locator connects to the GeoSpace server, and the server recognizes the connected device and registers it automatically. > [!NOTE] > > This manual is written for iOS (iPhone). > [!NOTE] > > **When to use this step**\\ > > * Registering a locator for the first time > * When a locator's Wi-Fi details change (the network SSID or password has changed) > * When Wi-Fi fails to connect and you need to set it again ([Troubleshooting](/en/locator/troubleshooting#locator-bottom-led-blinks-purple-and-light-blue)) ## 1) Installing GeoSpace Mobile and Logging In 1. Tap a badge below to install and open **GeoSpace Mobile** from the store. [![Download on the App Store — GeoSpace Mobile iOS app](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/E2whs2uAjcPfu5dJ/images/demo/app-store-badge-en.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=E2whs2uAjcPfu5dJ\&q=85\&s=84b17348e9e863ef20b68e34a2e13534)](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/geospace-mobile/id6795709777) [![Get it on Google Play — GeoSpace Mobile Android app](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/E2whs2uAjcPfu5dJ/images/demo/google-play-badge-en.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=E2whs2uAjcPfu5dJ\&q=85\&s=52a8dcaecfbc769cfac1a26b5bbe80f6)](https://play.google.com/store) ![GeoSpace Mobile login screen: log in with a Google, Apple, or Microsoft account](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-login.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=1f703743d8aaa146685f5f53721f16a3) 2. On the login screen, log in with the account you use. > [!NOTE] > > Logging in requires [2. Account Registration](/en/locator/onboarding) to be complete. ## 2) Device Provisioning ![GeoSpace Mobile home screen: Device Provisioning menu (AN500 BLE connection · Wi-Fi setup · registration)](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-menu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=140cbc2bf2ff7a54f95316d2207add4e) From the home screen, open the \[Device Provisioning] menu. Provisioning proceeds in order following the progress indicator at the top of the screen (1/6 to 6/6). **(1) Search for nearby devices** ![Nearby AN500 search screen: list of 4 discovered devices and a search again button](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-search.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=d2a467e12f2a9e6dd499c5080a7518f3) Entering \[Device Provisioning] automatically searches for nearby AN500 devices. A device appears in the list only when your phone's Bluetooth and the locator's power are both on, so check both and stay close to the device. * Select the locator to register from the discovered list. Identify it by matching the last 4 digits of the device name (e.g., AN500:03:64) with the MAC digits you wrote on the front in [4. On-Site Locator Installation](/en/locator/install). * If the device does not appear in the list, click \[Search Again]. **(2) Connect · identify** ![Connecting and identifying screen: setting up a secure channel with the AN500](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-connect.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=7c3d0e3934363ad561ed116c0be78e3b) A secure channel is set up with the selected locator. It runs automatically; wait until it completes. > [!CAUTION] > > The connection can fail with a 'Connection failed (device response timeout)' message. > > ![Connection failure screen: the connection failed (device response timeout) notice with the discovered device list and the search again button](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/qx4EMVAkaVz_Cs2C/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-connect-fail.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=qx4EMVAkaVz_Cs2C\&q=85\&s=8683497c713359376c31b8aef743397e) > > In that case, click \[Search Again] to re-scan, select the locator from the list again, and retry until it connects.\\ > > When retrying, keep the phone as close to the locator as possible, touching it. **(3) Enter Wi-Fi details** ![Wi-Fi details screen: network (SSID) and password inputs with a send settings button](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-app-wifi.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=c0a5ead32f032a9f33967f6e93b2182e) Configure the Wi-Fi network the locator will use. > [!NOTE] > > Locator Wi-Fi supports 2.4 GHz networks only. 5 GHz networks will not connect, > so enter a 2.4 GHz network SSID. > [!NOTE] > > **If there is no 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on-site and you use an iPhone Personal Hotspot (tethering)**\\ > > 1. On the iPhone, go to Settings → Personal Hotspot and turn it on. > 2. On the same screen, turn on **\[Maximize Compatibility]**. The hotspot only runs on 2.4 GHz when this is on. > 3. In the Wi-Fi details, enter the iPhone's name as the network (SSID) and the 'Wi-Fi Password' shown on the hotspot screen as the password. > 4. Keep the iPhone running the hotspot near the locators until hardware registration and the cluster apply are complete. 1. Enter the network (SSID) and password. 2. Click **\[Send Settings]**. > [!CAUTION] > > \[Factory Reset] at the bottom is not used in normal operation. Use it only when a locator still does not connect after setting Wi-Fi again; > for the procedure and what to do afterwards, see [Troubleshooting](/en/locator/troubleshooting#locator-does-not-connect-even-after-setting-wi-fi-again). **(4) Sending settings** The Wi-Fi details are sent to the locator. When the transfer completes, the device reboots automatically. * The reboot takes about 30 seconds; keep the connection and wait until it completes. **(5) Registration** Registering the locator for management runs automatically. It shows briefly with no action needed, then moves to the next step. **(6) Done** When 'Completed' appears, provisioning for that locator is finished. Provisioned locators are registered automatically in the GeoSpace \[Hardware Management] menu. Repeat steps (1) to (6) for the remaining locators until all are registered. ## 3) Confirming Registration ![GeoSpace Hardware Management screen: list of 4 AN-500 devices registered via provisioning (UWB MAC · network · last connected · placement)](https://mintcdn.com/onecheck/jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ/images/geospace/5.hardware-console-list.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jSUe4ZC1WxNcJHaZ\&q=85\&s=0c92b7ad07354859b50514eaf655f43d) You can check the registered devices in the GeoSpace \[Hardware Management] menu. * Confirm all registered locators appear in the list. Match the last 4 digits of each UWB MAC address against the digits written on the locator's front. * Confirm the network (Wi-Fi) connection status and the 'Last connected' time are shown. * Confirm each locator's top LED is green and its bottom LED is blue (server connected). (For LED positions and color meanings, see the LED tables in [4. On-Site Locator Installation](/en/locator/install).) * 'Placement' shows as 'Unplaced' at this point; it is filled in once the locator is placed on the plan in [6. Activating Positioning](/en/locator/placement). ## Checklist > [!NOTE] > > Once all items below are confirmed, you can move on to the next step. > > | # | Item | Check | > | - | - | :-: | > | 1 | All 4 locators are properly registered in the GeoSpace \[Hardware Management] list. | ☐ | > | 2 | The LEDs on all 4 locators show the normal state.
