16.2 Pairing with a Quantum
Radar using Wi-Fi
If your Radar scanner supports a Wi-Fi connection,
you can connect to a LightHouse
TM
MFD which also
supports Wi-Fi. During pairing, the Wi-Fi credentials
of all MFDs with Wi-Fi switched on are sent to the
Quantum Radar. At subsequent power cycles the
Quantum Radar will automatically connect to the
MFD with the strongest signal.
Note:
1. During initial set up you will have 10 minutes in
which to connect the Radar to your MFD. After
this time, if no connection is made, the Radar
will automatically go to Sleep. If this occurs,
power cycle the Radar to bring it out of Sleep
mode and establish a connection.
2. Networked MFDs that only have their Wi-Fi
enabled after the initial pairing period, will
send Wi-Fi credentials to the Radar when their
Wi-Fi is switched on.
1. Apply power to your MFD(s).
2. Power on and then enable the Wi-Fi connection
to the MFDs which have the strongest signal, as
identied during the pre-installation site survey.
Usually these will be the MFDs closest to and / or
with the clearest line of sight to the Radar).
3. Apply power to your Radar scanner.
4. Select Quantum Radar from the External
Devices menu on the MFD: (Homescreen >
Set-up > System Settings > External Devices
> Quantum Radar).
5. Select Pair with Quantum Radar.
6. If prompted, select OK to enable your MFD’s
Wi-Fi connection.
7. Enter the Radar’s SSID (e.g. Quan-
tum_1234567) in the SSID eld and the
passcode (e.g. 901589f5) in the Passcode
eld.
Refer to the
Retain your Wi-Fi Passcode section
for details on locating your SSID and Passcode.
Important:
• Ensure that the SSID and Passcode are entered
exactly as shown on the serial number label that
was supplied with the Radar.
• The SSID is always made up of the word
“Quantum”, followed by an underscore “_”,
followed by the product’s 7 digit serial number,
(e.g. Quantum_1234567).
8. Select Connect.
The initial connection can take up to 2 minutes to
complete.
9. Select OK from the Successful Connection
pop-up.
10.Open a Radar application page.
11. Check that the reported Radar on the power /
transmit pop-up is the Radar that you have just
paired with.
12.If the correct Radar is reported, select Tx
(Transmit).
13.If the reported Radar is not the Radar scanner
you just paired with, select the correct Radar
from the menu: Menu > Select Radar: and then
select Tx from the pop-up.
The Radar image can be displayed on all networked
MFDs.
Retain your Wi-Fi passcode
To connect to the Radar using Wi-Fi (wireless), you
will need to know the unit’s SSID, and Passcode.
Both the SSID and Passcode are provided on the
serial number label on the underside of the unit,
and on spare serial number labels supplied in the
box. You may wish to make a separate note of
this information and keep in a secure location. You
should also keep the Radar scanner packaging in a
safe place for future reference.
Wi-Fi connection recovery
You should use the SSID and Passcode supplied
with your Radar to pair the Radar with your MFD.
In the event that the original SSID and Passcode
cannot be located follow the steps below to try and
re-connect to your Radar.
1. The Radar will store the Wi-Fi credentials
(SSID and passphrase) of the last 10 devices
it has been paired with, this means that you
can use the Wi-Fi credentials from a MFD that
