Install the station link

The Chrome extension that reaches a station on your own network.

The station link is a Chrome extension. It holds each station's address and password on your computer and makes the calls the page at app.wiresheet.ai asks for, from inside your network. Install it on every computer you will open a station from.

Step 1: Add it to Chrome

Open Wiresheet.ai station link in the Chrome Web Store and choose Add to Chrome. Chrome asks for no access to any website at this point: access is asked for one station at a time, when you add it.

Step 2: Pin it and open its panel

Pin it from Chrome's extensions menu so its icon stays in the toolbar. Clicking the icon opens its panel at the side of the window, where it stays while you work in the workspace.

Step 3: Add the station

Choose + Add beside Connected stations, fill in the three fields and choose Add and connect. With no station yet, the form is already open.

Station address: what you would type to open the station in a browser, such as http://192.168.1.50. An address without http:// or https:// is taken as http://.
Station account and Password: the account you created for Wiresheet.ai.

app.wiresheet.ai stays open beside the panel

Wiresheet.ai reads and writes your stations through this browser. The passwords stay on this machine.

Drawn after the extension's own panel. + Add opens the form; each station is one row, named as it answered, with its whole answer on the hover.

Step 4: Allow that one address

Chrome asks whether the extension may reach the station's address. Allow it.

Drawn. Chrome asks once per station address. Allow it; the extension can reach that address and no other.

The extension then asks the station who it is. A green dot beside the name the station gives itself, with Connected to Plant_JACE as wiresheetadmin. on the hover, means the module answered and the account signed in. Anything else is a red dot, with what the station answered written under its row; see Troubleshooting.

More than one station

Add each one the same way, with + Add. Every row checks itself whenever the panel opens, and ⟳ asks again. Forget, under ⋯, removes a station and Chrome's permission for its address with it.

What the extension will and will not do

It answers only app.wiresheet.ai, and only with a fixed list of station calls, named by the page and sent to the address you gave it. It never sends a station's password to Wiresheet.ai. What it stores and sends is set out in its privacy policy.
