BridgeX Set Up Guide

The following guide is specific for those who have purchased a BridgeX as part of a greater geomining solution. To use the BridgeX with COIN, please check out this help article. 

 

Getting Started

 

This guide is for those who have a BridgeX with the current version and are ready to get started with setup. In this guide are three options to setup your BridgeX. Each option involves connecting your BridgeX to a power source and to Ethernet (Wifi connection is available on the newest version, but for stability, we do recommend starting with an ethernet connection if possible)

 

• First Option
• Second Option
• Third Option

 

For a video walkthrough of the setup you can view the video below (it is part of an official Geomining Kit Video - BridgeX instructions start at 5:00), this details the first option to setup a BridgeX.
