Getting Started with STRIDE Pocket Portal

1. Purchase your hardware

Purchase your STRIDE Pocket Portal IIoT Bridge from AutomationDirect.com

You will need the SE-PB100 Pocket Portal IIoT Bridge plus:

12-24VDC power source (10W minimum)
An available 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access point with connection to the Internet
A Modbus RTU slave device or discrete I/O or analog inputs to be monitored
An iOS or Android device with Bluetooth (only used for the initial setup)

2. Set up your account and create a device profile on www.pocketportal.com

Install the iOS or Android mobile app from the appropriate app store.
Open the mobile app and create your account.
Create a device profile from the Web app. The device profile defines the Modbus device and variables, and local I/O, to be monitored and logged. You can create a device profile from your account at www.pocketportal.com, or you can use the default profile for now and create a profile after the new Pocket Portal is connected to your account. Profile creation is a one-time activity and the same profile can be applied to multiple devices.

3. Install and connect the Pocket Portal to your account

Install and properly wire the Pocket Portal IIoT bridge, making sure the device is powered ON and the PWR LED on the device is SOLID GREEN.
In the mobile app, select "Add device" to start registration and provisioning of the Pocket Portal device to your account. You need to have physical access to the Pocket Portal for registration.
Follow the steps provided in the mobile app to complete the process.
