l Make sure that the Wi-Fi SSID credentials are available: Login & password.
l The minimum Wi-Fi strength signal for the system should display at least two lines, as shown above.
l Following are some suggestions for the office IT personnel, regarding what should be considered in order to
prevent issues such as access or connectivity to/with the iTero scanner:
l Hostname recommendations related to Align services listening to ports 80 and 443, as described in
