## Update via WebInstaller
### Update from version greater than 12.0.0
If you use the WebInstaller and insert an empty SD-card, the firmware will automatically open a primitive access point to make the initial setup. It is triggered a missing `wlan.ini` or a missing`/config/config.ini`.
##### Using internal access point for sd-card setup
Before starting the flash process, download the necessary file. It is a zip file, containing the initial default configuration. You can identify it by the naming. It is named `AI-on-the-edge-device__remote-setup__*.zip`. Store this file locally as you will need it later, when you are connected to the internal access point (no internet connection).
###### Flash the firmware with the WebInstaller
Instructions see above.
###### Connect to Device
During the first booting, the device detects that the wifi credentials as well as the configuration informations are missing.
Therefore a simple wifi access point is initiated and a simple internal web server is startet, so the device can be setup.
The naming of the wifi is "AI-on-the-edge" and you can access it without any password.

You connect to the server with the fixed ip: http://192.168.4.1

- The informations are transfered without encryption.
