In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of working with LinkIt 7688 (Duo) (that runs OpenWRT). You will then learn how to seamlessly connect your devices to QNAP NAS using QIoT Suite Lite.
Please ensure your LinkIt 7688 (duo) and NAS is under the same LAN.
1. Configure your device
1.1 Getting started
- What will you need
LinkIt 7688 (Duo)
Power Supply:The LinkIt 7688 is powered by a USB Micro power supply with at least 1A at 5V.
Wi-Fi AP
Power (PWR) connector, not the USB host (HOST) connector near the MPU reset button. The green ON LED (Power on) will light up, followed by a blink from the orange Wi-Fi LED (bootloader initialization). After about 5 seconds, the device boot up starts and the orange LED will light up solid for about 30 seconds. 1.2 Connect your LinkIt 7688(Duo) to the network
Turn on the AP mode
After boot up, the Wi-Fi LED will turns off. This means the system is ready to accept a Wi-Fi connection.
If not, press the Wi-Fi Reset button for at least 5 seconds and release to turn on the AP mode. Consult the below image for the Wi-Fi LED Status and System Status. (image source : Media Tek Lab) Go to your Wi-Fi settings and choose "LinkIt_Smart_7688_XXXXXXX". (where “XXXXXXX” is the MAC address of your LinkIt 7688 (Duo)). Once you join the LinkIt Smart Network, open "http://mylinkit.local" or "http://192.168.100.1" in your web browser
In the log in page, set a password (or enter a previously-set up password).
The default username is root. After logging in, go to the "Network" tab and select "Station Mode" to set up the Wi-Fi AP you will connect to. Your PC and LinkIt must be on the same network. Click "CONFIGURE & RESTART". Change your PC network to the same as the LinkIt network.

2. Create your device in QIoT Suite Lite
2.1 Install QIoT Suite Lite
QIoT Suite Lite can be installed from the App Center. Launch and log in to QIoT Suite Lite. The default username and password is "admin". 2.2 Create a new IoT application
IoT Applications are a combination of Things, Rules, and Dashboards. We recommend that you first create a “Things” in IoT Application. This IoT Application allows you to keep a record of all of the devices that are connected to your NAS.
Rules make it possible to build IoT applications that gather, process, analyze and act on data generated by connected devices. Rules can apply to data from one or many devices, and it can take one or many actions in parallel.
Dashboards turn your data into analytics and reports that provide rela-time insight.
All these elements provide user a complete IoT Application environment.
