The Totem Compass downloads software updates over standard 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, assuming it can find a network with the known credentials. The easiest way to create that network is to set up your mobile hotspot with those credentials, outlined below for both iPhone and Android users.

Wi-Fi Credentials

Network Name: Totem

Password: totem123258

Mobile Hotspot Setup

iPhone

  1. The network name is set by changing the iPhone name. Go to Settings>General>About>Name and set the name to Totem
  2. Go to Settings>Personal Hotspot>Enable “Allow Others to Join”
  3. Set the Wi-Fi Password in your Personal Hotspot to totem123258. Make sure to enable “Maximize Compatibility” so that 2.4GHz is used.
