Hotspot Configuration
When a wireless network type (Active Mode) is configured as a Hotspot/AP, this
configuration interface sets the wireless network’s mode (hotspot mode or access point
mode) and corresponding network parameters.
This sets the wireless network’s mode.
When Active Mode is set to Hotspot/AP and Hotspot
Configuration is set to Enabled, this creates a Wi-Fi
hotspot with a router. This creates a separate subnet that
has its own IP address range. Any connected BACnet
device will not be able to discover BACnet devices on any
other LAN subnetwork. The parameters shown below will
have to be configured.
When Active Mode is set to Hotspot/AP and Hotspot
Configuration is set to Disabled, this creates a Wi-Fi
access point. This is an extension of the wired IP network.
The parameters shown below do not have to be configured.
See ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter Connection Modes on page 44.
This is the IP address for this hotspot (or gateway address that
wireless clients will connect to). Ensure that this address is:
Not in the range of IP address set by First Address and
Last Address.
Not the same as the IP address set under IP Configuration
for the wired network.
The hotspot’s subnetwork mask. See About the Subnetwork Mask
on page 20.
First Address
Last Address
This defines the range of IP addresses to be made available for
hotspot clients to use. The narrower the range, the fewer hotspot
clients will be able to connect due to the lack of available IP
addresses. For example, a range where First Address =
192.168.0.22 and Last Address = 192.168.0.26 will allow a
maximum of 5 clients to connect to the hotspot on a first-to-connect
basis.
Advanced
When a Wi-Fi hotspot or access point is configured, this sets the channel width and number
the hotspot is to use. The wireless mode can also be set.
This sets the amount of radio spectrum bandwidth to use for data
transmission. 20 MHz Only option allows for a throughput of up to
150 MB/s. 40 MHz Only option allows for a throughput of up to 300
MB/s. Beware that the 40 MHz Only option leaves little spectrum for
other Wi-Fi networks even if they are operating on another channel
number and should be avoided if other Wi-Fi networks are nearby to
avoid interference and network drop-outs. See also About the
2.4 GHz ISM band on page 37.
