DECRO Start solution: composition, installation and connection

This short video explains what the Decro START solution is, and provides instructions on how to install and connect it to the user's laptop.

1. Start solution – Introduction about the solution and installation

DECRO allows you to monitor physiological parameters with integrated sensors in a jacket. Data will then be transmitted through Bluetooth to an acquisition server containing computer managed software.




In order to access the software and perform an acquisition, it is necessary to install and connect the system. Here are some steps to follow:


1- First, put your server in the same room of the animals, and avoid elements that may interfere with the BlueTooth signal, such as a metal partition.


2- Do not forget to screw the antennas on the adequate supports.




3- Link the power cable and plug it in an electrical socket nearby. If the server does not directly power on, click on the “On” button. A red/green light will indicate the server is powered on and working.




4- Lastly, plug the Ethernet cable on the corresponding port based on your setup: PC or NET, which means either by plugging in on the computer, or to your network. 




Once these steps are complete, you can connect to the acquisition software.




2. Start solution – Connection instructions 

Once the START solution correctly set up and plugged, you can connect to your acquisition system. 

The access is made through a web browser, and two connection modes are available. You can either link your computer and the system with an ethernet cable, or connect the system to your local network to have a remote access (as view previously). 

Each connection mode has its own url, and you may find it on your system’s label. 




On the connection’s page, click on the CONNECT button to access the system. The connection might take a few seconds, and if it is not working, please check that your ethernet cable is correctly inserted in the right port of the system.



By default, small systems don't have a predefined login and password. Write down what you want.
If you have UAP (user authentication and permission feature) on your system, you'll need to enter the login and password assigned to you. 
One the connection succeeded, you will gain access to this page :
