What It Does
Infrastructure Mode:
• Stays off when not associated with a network
Access Point.
• Blinks every second when associated with an access
point, but no IP address assigned.
• Illuminates solid orange when successfully assigned
an IP address.
The Pairing Button is used to change the status of the
device. The two status modes are:
• Non-Discoverable—When the USB-Link™ 3 is
Non-Discoverable, it will only connect to a host device
with which it has previously been paired.
• Discoverable—When the USB-Link™ 3 is Discoverable,
a host device can detect, pair, or connect to it.
To change the mode from Non-Discoverable to
Discoverable, press and hold the Pairing button until the
Wireless LED begins to ash blue (about 3 seconds).
Once a connection is established, the LED turns solid
blue. After two minutes, discover-ability will time out, and
the device will go back to Non-Discoverable status.
When using Wi-Fi, the USB-Link™ 3 can be congured
for either of the following modes:
• Mini-Access Point (Wi-Fi default)
• Infrastructure
Note: USB-Link™ 3 cannot be used in Infrastructure
mode until it has been congured using the Explorer
utility (see Using the USB-Link™ 3 Explorer in Chapter 3
of this manual).
