Wireless Directly (ad hoc)
connection
If you want to set up the scanner using the scanner as Wireless
Directly (ad hoc), make sure your device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet,
PC, etc.) is connected to the scanner's Wireless Directly (ad hoc)
connection. For example, if your PC is connected with a wireless
connection to your companies infrastructure network, you will need to
change your PC to temporarily connect to Wireless Directly (ad hoc),
provided by the scanner in order to reconfigure the scanner's wireless
connection to the companies infrastructure (Wireless Network).
By default, when accessing the Network tab, the Wired Network and
Wireless Directly (ad hoc) mode options are checked. Clicking
Wireless Directly, will turn off (or on) the scanner's embedded wireless
network. It will also turn off any selection that is invalid, for example the
Wireless Network selection.
NOTE: Invalid settings are protected in the network connection’s
selection space. Clicking on any desired setting will disable any
invalid settings.
The default wireless network settings are:
Wireless = ON; Mode = Standalone access point;
SSID = ScannerModel-Scanner Serial # (e.g., i1150WN-12345678);
Security = None.
Wireless Directly enables you to configure the network that is created
by the scanner. Typically, you would apply security and a security pre-
shared key to your scanner’s network.
NOTE: In this mode the friendly name is set to the SSID. The TWAIN
driver and Mobile app use the friendly name to display the name
of the scanner.
