Remote Sniffer

For this application there are a couple things needed:

• MDB-USB (Standard or plus) or MDB pi hat (only compatible with raspberry pi)
• Barionet or Raspberry Pi connected to the internet;
• MDB Toolchest (version 1.0.6 or higher)

1) Ensure that the Barionet/Raspberry has the latest Flexa scripts and be sure that you have a regID for the Raspberry:

If you have recently bought a Barionet, it should have the latest Flexa scripts and you can ignore this step. Nevertheless, you can do this, to ensure your Barionet is good to go!

Initial Installation

2) Register your Barionet/Raspberry regID on linuquick portal:

Go to the linuquick portal. If you do NOT have an account, proceed creating one.

Create a project and add your barionet/raspberry as a device, choosing the package “MDB Toolchest - Remote Sniffer” as the application. Reboot your device afterwards, so it can install the application.

3) Licensing (for MDB-USB)

If you are using MDB-USB, to obtain the license:

1. Connect MDB-USB to your PC through USB cable.
2. Open MDB Toolchest on your PC, and connect it to the device ("Connect" button)
3. Go to License > Redeem coupon
4. Input your coupon and hit "OK"
5. You should now have a license for that MDB-USB device
6. Disconnect the MDB-USB from your PC and connect it back to Barionet/Raspberry

3) Licensing (for pi hat)

If you are using pi hat, to obtain the license:

1. If you don't have MDB pi hat on your raspberry already, turn the raspberry off and put on the MDB pi hat.
2. Navigate to your device in linuquick. You should be able to see "Reported Status" field in the table, if the device is connected it should be in a form of a hexadecimal string (similar to this one: "35ffd3054e56333541601443"). Click on the device, and from the table on the left (containing Device information), copy out the "Report Status" parameter (again, should be a hexadecimal string)

3. Open MDB Toolchest on your PC and navigate to License > Redeem coupon
4. Copy the hexadecimal string from linuquick into "Serial ID" field
5. Input your coupon code into "Coupon" field and hit "OK"
6. You should now have a license for that MDB pi hat
