Connection
Description
Access Point
(AP) Bridged
[Wi-Fi client]-to-XIO
Wireless client joins the network advertised by the XIO.
Wi-Fi clients can connect to the XIO over that network.
11.2 IP parameter configuration
Connections over Wi-Fi networks are TCP/IP based. Each device connecting to a wireless network must
have a unique and valid IP address. IP configuration depends on the Wi-Fi mode. Table 11-2
describes the
IP configuration requirements.
When the XIO is configured as a Wi-Fi Access Point, it can automatically provide IP addresses for Wi-Fi
clients with its DHCP server. Automatic addressing is the preferred option.

11.3 Wireless network communication
The following sections depict scenarios for wireless access by hosts with Wi-Fi client support. They provide
additional detail to some of the connections scenarios summarized in section 11.1
Connections supported
by Wi-Fi modes.
11.3.1 Local point-to-point wireless access to XIO (Wi-Fi AP) by host
The XIO supports local wireless access by Wi-Fi clients. Wi-Fi clients can establish connections to the XIO
in all Wi-Fi modes:
– When there is only a single XIO with no other Totalflow Wi-Fi access point available, the XIO needs to
be configured as an access point for Wi-fi clients to connect. The Wi-Fi client detects and joins the
network advertised by the XIO. The connection is basically a point to point connection since no other
devices acts as clients to the XIO AP.
