uppercase.
• After entering the password, push the ENTER button. When in the WI-FI SETUP menu the
password will be displayed.
• Write down the password for future reference and easy recall, such as in the plane’s logbook.
WI-FI ICON ON APPLE DEVICES:
This setting should only be set to NO for Apple devices that have both Wi-Fi and Cellular data
capabilities. When set to YES, Apple devices will show the Wi-Fi icon. However, Cellular data will not be
usable. When set to NO, Apple devices will not show the Wi-Fi icon (even if connected to AF-5000
EFIS), but Cellular data will still be usable.
• YES – Choose YES if you are using an Apple iPad that does not have cellular capability (Wi-Fi
only), or an Apple iPod Touch.
• NO – Choose NO if you have an Apple iPhone or Apple iPad with cellular capability AND you
wish to use the cellular data
Client Mode
Use Client Mode if you want the EFIS to connect to a Wifi ADS-B Module that supports GDL90 data or a
Wi-Fi Hotspot. Wi-Fi Hotspot EFIS data updates will be added in a future software update.
After changing the Wi-Fi mode you will need to power down and power up the EFIS for the changes to
take effect.
The Wi-Fi receiver should not be used in Client Mode connected to a Wi-Fi ADS-B module on the same
EFIS screen that is configured for a wired ADS-B receiver. You must disable any EFIS serial port that is
configured for ADS-B data on the same EFIS as the Wi-Fi module.
