Pairing FireMapper

InFlight uses a secure pairing system to connect to FireMapper over a local Wi-Fi network. The QR code displayed in InFlight contains an encrypted token that allows an individual FireMapper instance to securely connect to InFlight.

You can only be paired to one device at a time. You will need to re-pair if InFlight has been paired with a different FireMapper instance since you have last used it.

  1. Ensure both the device running FireMapper Enterprise and the device running InFlight are connected to the same local Wi-Fi connection. Both devices can either be on the same Wi-Fi router, or the FireMapper device can be running a mobile hotspot for the InFlight device to connect to.

  2. Start the InFlight application and go to the Pairing screen. This will be the first screen displayed when InFlight is started if it is not currently paired.

  3. On the device running FireMapper Enterprise, open the application and ensure that your are logged in first. Tap the Scan QR Code button on the main menu. You can not pair with InFlight if you are not logged into a FireMapper.

  4. Scan the InFlight QR code using the FireMapper iOS/Android device.

  5. On iOS devices, you may be prompted to allow FireMapper Enterprise to access the local network. If you do not allow access, FireMapper will not be able to connect to it on the network.

  6. The FireMapper Enterprise device should now be paired with InFlight. The InFlight application will display a confirmation message.

Note

Troubleshooting FireMapper iOS Pairing

If you are pairing with FireMapper iOS, make sure you don’t have FireMapper Standard installed on the same device. There is a known issue with InFlight if both the Standard and Enterprise versions of FireMapper are installed on the same iOS device. If you have both versions installed, you will need to uninstall FireMapper Standard if you want to pair with InFlight.

FireMapper Enterprise iOS requires access to the local network to connect to InFlight. If you are having issues pairing, check the permissions using the following steps:

  1. Open Settings app, and select Apps

  2. Select FireMapper Enterprise from the list of apps.

  3. Ensure that Local Network Access permission is enabled. The local network access permission may only appear after you have attempted to pair with InFlight (without FireMapper Standard installed)

Unpairing FireMapper

You can unpair FireMapper from InFlight from either the FireMapper device or the InFlight device.

Unpairing via FireMapper App

You can unpair FireMapper from InFlight by following these steps. This is useful if you no longer want to connect to InFlight. If you want to connect to a different InFlight instance, you can simply scan the new QR code without unpairing first.

  1. Open the FireMapper Enterprise application on your iOS/Android device.

  2. Tap the InFlight Status on the main menu.

Unpairing via InFlight App

You can unpair FireMapper from InFlight by following these steps. This is useful if you want to connect to a different FireMapper instance. You must unpair first before you can pair with another FireMapper app.

  1. Open the InFlight application on your drone controller device.

  2. Tap the Unpair FireMapper button on the pairing screen.
