Connectivity
When powered on, Sentry Plus automatically creates a wireless network which can connect up
to five devices simultaneously. Sentry Plus does not have a wireless network password by
default.
Connect to Sentry Plus by powering it on and selecting its wireless network from your iPad or
iPhone Wi-Fi Settings. Once you connect to Sentry Plus, your iPad and iPhone will
automatically reconnect, provided the following conditions are met:
•
Sentry Plus is powered on.
•
iPad/iPhone Wi-Fi is enabled.
•
Sentry Plus network name and password have not changed.
•
iPad/iPhone is not already connected to another network.
•
Auto-Join is enabled in iPad/iPhone Wi-Fi > SentryPlus settings.
Sentry Plus Network Name (SSID)
The default Sentry Plus wireless network name is generic (e.g., SentryPlus_12AB) and can be
changed as needed. Wireless network names must be unique and between 1 and 32
characters. The network name may contain only letters, numbers, spaces, and underscores.
How to customize the network name
To customize the wireless network name (SSID), select More > Devices > Sentry Plus >
Sentry Plus Network. Tap the SSID field and enter a network name between 1 and 32
characters. Tap Done when complete. Once complete, reboot Sentry Plus for the changes to
take effect.
How to hide the SSID broadcast
To prevent devices from seeing the Sentry Plus wireless network, you can disable the SSID
broadcast. Disabling the SSID broadcast hides the network from devices that have not yet
connected to Sentry Plus. To hide the Sentry Plus network, toggle the SSID Broadcast off in
Sentry Plus settings on the Devices view or Map Settings. Once your iOS device has
connected to Sentry Plus, it will automatically reconnect when powered on even if the network
is hidden, provided the Wi-Fi > Sentry Plus Auto-Join setting is enabled.
To connect a new device to Sentry Plus with the SSID broadcast disabled
1. Open Wi-Fi settings on the iOS device.
2. Select Other… from the OTHER NETWORKS section.
3. Manually enter the Sentry Plus network name (SSID) and passcode (if
applicable).
