Wi-Fi Access Point
Should there be no available access point; an ECLYPSE controller can be configured as a wired-to-
wireless bridge to create 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 applications 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.
