Wi-Fi Access Point
Should there be no available access point; an ECLYPSE controller can be configured as a wired-to-wireless bridge to cre-
ate an access point which can provide Wi-Fi access to other Wi-Fi enabled clients. This access point operates off of the
same subnetwork and has the same IP connectivity that the controller has with its wired network connection. The Wi-Fi
adapter can also be temporarily added to a controller for wireless commissioning purposes. A variety of software applica-
tions are available for system monitoring and override, commissioning, configuration and programming. To configure the
Wi-Fi access point connection mode, see Setting up a Wi-Fi Access Point Wireless Network.

mode, see Setting up a Wi-Fi Access Point Wireless Network.
