Working With a Wireless Network
By connecting your unit to a wireless network, you can fully synchronize
the results and save them to the cloud server once they have been
synchronized with the TestFlow mobile application.
Also, by connecting your unit to a wireless network, you can check for
updates, download these updates and install them directly on your unit
(see Upgrading Applications and Firmware on page 199).
By default, the Wi-Fi connection is disabled, both on the OX1 unit and in
the Optical Explorer tool of the TestFlow mobile application. You must
enable it before trying to connect to a wireless network (see Enabling or
Disabling the Wireless Communication on page 141).
Before being able to connect your unit to a Wi-Fi network, you must first
configure the desired networks directly from your unit or with the TestFlow
mobile application.
Once the configuration and first connection are successful, the configured
network is automatically added to the list of possible networks on your
unit.
The list of configured networks as well as the last network used are kept in
memory even when you turn your unit off. This means that the next time
you work with your unit, it will automatically connect to the last network
used, unless this network is not available or its password has changed in
the meantime (reconfiguration necessary). Should a network failure occur
while the unit is connected to it, the unit will try to reconnect to this
network automatically as soon as it becomes available again.
You can remove configured networks from the list to prevent automatic
connections to these networks. If you remove the network currently in use,
the unit (or the Optical Explorer tool in the TestFlow mobile application)
will try to connect to the next configured network on the list that is
available.
Your unit supports IPv4 wireless routers having the following
characteristics:
