Some time ago, the company purchased some dandelion equipment, perfectly solved the various problems encountered in remote work, provided great convenience for home office, as the company's first user, it can be said that the products of dandelion home left a deep impression on me. Recently, I saw that there was a small partner in the station who posted the dandelion X1, a gadget that can be used as a route to build a private cloud, which is powerful and expensive, and decisively picked up one.
Appearance display
When you get the dandelion X1, you will find that its appearance is still its classic tone, and the dandelion control used before has adopted a black appearance, the size is very small, and the iPhone12 can be seen together only half of its size, so it is very convenient to carry daily
The size of the dandelion X1 can actually be held in one hand, in addition to the small size, its weight is also very light, the whole machine is ABS plastic material, the shell is sprayed with rubber paint, the feel is very delicate. The front of the fuselage is the dandelion logo, which is highly recognizable, and it is also a status indicator, so we can quickly judge its working status when using it
The dandelion X1 has an RJ45 network port and type-C charging port on the side, and the USB interface on the other side can be connected to a USB stick, a portable hard disk or a printer, and of course, other industrial equipment can be connected
Usage experience
The use of Dandelion X1 is very simple, plug in the Internet cable and Type-C power cable even if the entire assembly process is completed, like most of the equipment of the Sunflower family, the first use needs to complete the initialization operation in the cloud management platform, follow the instructions in the manual to use the SN code behind X1 login, the default password admin, remember to modify the login password later according to your own habits
After logging in, you will see the private cloud, remote access NAS and cloud printing these 3 ways to play, for most people who need to work remotely, the private cloud is just needed, I also use X1 to connect the mobile hard disk at home, so that even outside or in the unit can also be very convenient to access the files in the hard disk
When using the private cloud function, remember to turn on the file sharing switch in advance, so that you can access the files on the hard disk normally
When accessing the mobile terminal, you need to download the dandelion client and connect to the VPN, connect to the network you have formed, and find X1 to enter the account number and password to access the hard disk smoothly
Tested the speed of accessing the hard disk on the mobile phone, you can see that the access folder speed is very fast, through the top of the quick search box can quickly search for files, the actual use is very convenient
Further, the network transmission of remote access to X1 was tested, the packet loss was 0, the network delay was 9ms (under 100 megabit broadband conditions), it was no problem to open the e-books and songs in the hard disk, and for larger video files, it was necessary to download them to watch
In addition to the download function, Dandelion X1 also provides a file upload function, when using we can upload files, photos and videos at any time, compared with a dozen k network speed of a disk, the private cloud built with X1 is more convenient
In addition to private clouds, with the Dandelion X1 we can also build temporary, secure wireless networks, which is also useful for frequent business travelers. After all, not every hotel's WIFI signal is easy to use, and I have encountered the problem of poor signal in the room more than once, if there is an X1, I can quickly set up a temporary wireless network. In the Dandelion Cloud Management Platform interface, you can quickly set the WIFI password
In the network settings, the network name and password can be set, after setting up, you can easily access the Internet, dandelion X1 also provides a wall-piercing mode, so even larger rooms can achieve full signal coverage
The wireless network rate provided by the Dandelion X1 was tested, and the measured network speed was almost the same as that of the router used by the user, and it could reach the normal speed at the current broadband network speed
Write at the end
During the period of using the Dandelion X1, it was found that this box with a size of only 70 * 70 * 18mm can not only build its own private cloud, remotely access the NAS, but also use it as a temporary router, in addition, the connected printer can also do cloud printing. Overall, dandelion X1 is very convenient to use at home or in the office, according to the official tutorial Xiaobai can also easily unlock a variety of use scenarios, want to print remotely, want to remotely access nas, may wish to see Dandelion X1
