X-600M Users Manual Configuration and Setup
3.2 Establishing Communications Over a Wireless Network
The X-600M can be accessed using either Ad-Hoc or Access Point wireless connections. Both access
methods requires a compatible USB WiFi adapter to be plugged into the X-600M's USB port. The X-
600M currently includes drivers for the following WiFi adapters:
• EDIMAX EW-7811Un
• ASUS USB-N10
ASUS USB-N10
3.2.1 Ad-Hoc Wireless Connection
With an Ad-Hoc network connection you can access the X-600M directly using a smart phone or other
compatible WiFi-enabled device. With an Ad-Hoc connection the network does not rely on a pre-existing
infrastructure such as routers or access points. With Ad-Hoc, the devices are free to associate with any
Ad-Hoc network device in link range.
By default, the name of the Ad-Hoc connection is X600M with password 0123456789. This password
may be changed from the setup pages as described later on. The device name X600M should appear in
the list of available wireless networks on the computer or tablet. Once a device makes a connection, the
X-600M will give the device an IP address via DHCP. The X-600M can be accessed at x600.local or
192.168.3.1 through a web browser.
Note: Not all smart phones or other devices support Ad-Hoc connections. In these cases, the network
will not appear in your list of choices.
3.2.2 Wireless Connection Using Access-Point
With an Access Point connection, the X-600M attempts to connect to a wireless access point. For
Access Point connectivity the X-600M must have been previously configured to connect to a wireless
access point.
For a new device you must access the X-600M using the Ad-Hoc mode or one of the wired access
methods described in the previous section. After establishing a temporary wired connection, to
configure an Access Point connection, select ▼Access Point from the drop-down menu in the
Network>Wireless (Configure wireless adapter) tab. See Section 4.2.2
