Incredible Wearables for Five or More Kits
If your NYSD event is going to be using Five or more NYSD kits at the same time you have to change the SSID (network name) that each of the The THINGs in your kits transmit. This process must be done in order for five or more of the NYSD kits to work at the same time. The process takes about 60 minutes so we recommend completing this in advance of your planned NYSD event. The below guide will walk you through these steps.
