CHAPTER 7 WIFI CONFIGURATION
28 29
MYCHRON5
WiFi connectivity is disabled by default in your MyChron5 and must be enabled on
the device menu.
Your MyChron5 can be configured for WiFi communication in one of two ways:
When a MyChron5 is working in WLAN mode, there are two layers of security available:
n
Network authentication: the network password
n
Device authentication: a unique device password
Using both network and device authentication allows for various security strategies
where multiple people, PCs, and AiM devices are involved. For example, a PC on a
WLAN may see several AiM devices but can only communicate with the AiM devices
for which it has the password
7. WiFi Configuration
1) As an Access Point (AP)
This is ideal when you have one device
and one computer.
In this configuration, your AiM device creates its own WiFi network, which acts as an
AP to which you can connect with your PC.
2) To join an Existing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
This is more complex and requires an external AP but is more flexible and powerful.
In this way, you can communicate with more than one device and with more than
one PC on the same network.
In this configuration, both your MyChron5 and your PC have to join a pre-existing
WiFi network, called a WLAN, in order to communicate with one another. The network
i
s now created by a network device, which is acting as an external AP by permitting
the device’s connectivity.
