Borealis – Hardware Status

Hardware status allows a Borealis user to quickly and easily check on the status of a hardware item (such as; a hub, controller, NXT-RIM, NXT readers or NXT 4×4 modules).

Before you begin you will need: 

  • Web browser with access to https://keri.aetheros.net/
  • A registered Borealis account, with an Organization and System.
  • Your site to be created.
  • Controllers online and added to your installation

4. However, there are scenarios, such as after initially adding the hub, where the status will display ‘Update Started’. Once the initial update is complete the status will display ‘Update Completed’.

Note: Once the hub has been claimed and added to your system it may take up to 30 minutes while it performs its initial configuration and updating. The following steps explain how to check the hub status for an existing system.
