Okay, so, I got this thing called the xoxh 9188, right? And, honestly, it was kind of a pain to get it up and running. There’s not a whole lot of info out there, and the instructions were pretty bad, but I figured it out eventually. So, I thought I’d share what I did in case anyone else is scratching their heads over this thing.
First, I unboxed it. It was packed pretty well, I’ll give it that. It’s supposed to be an I/O relay thing, specifically the AXIS A9188-VE Network model, which is a mouthful. I saw it’s useful for integrating those network door controllers with elevator systems, which sounded cool but also complicated.
I started reading the manual that came with it, but it was full of warnings and stuff about safety. You know, the usual “don’t stick a fork in it” kind of advice. They were talking about using a shielded network cable, like a CAT5 or higher. I just grabbed one that I had lying around.
Getting Down to It
- I plugged it in and connected it to my network.
- Then I tried to find some kind of software or something to control it. This was a struggle.
- I messed around with a few settings, but it’s hard to know what anything does when you’re just guessing.
The manual mentioned something about configuring it, but it wasn’t very helpful. It was more about how to mount it on a wall than how to actually use it. At this point, I thought about just giving up. But I’m stubborn, so I kept at it. The guidebook that I found somewhere else was totally useless, talking about movements and stuff that had nothing to do with this.
Finally Making Progress
After messing around with it for what felt like forever, I managed to get it to work, I figured out the settings. I had to reset it a couple of times, but it finally started doing what I wanted. It was a pretty good feeling, like when you finally beat a tough level in a game.
I think these things are usually made in places like Cambodia, Vietnam, or the Philippines. At least, that’s what I read about similar stuff. This one didn’t say, though. There was a mention of a serial number inside, but I didn’t bother checking. Anyway, it’s working now, and that’s what matters.
So, yeah, that’s my story about the xoxh 9188. It wasn’t easy, but I got it done. I don’t know if this will help anyone, but I hope it does. It’s a cool little gadget once you figure out how to use it.
