Wirelessly receiving credentials from a nearby Wi-Fi-configured VAC
1. Select a VAC that has been configured with the
desired Wi-Fi profile.
2. Log into the VAC as a Maintenance operator or IT
operator.
3. From the VAC main menu screen, select Wi-Fi.
a. To broadcast the VAC’s Wi-Fi configuration to
other VACs, select TRANSMIT.
b. To confirm broadcast of the VAC’s Wi-Fi
configuration, select YES.
The VAC will return to the main Wi-Fi screen.
A “Share” icon will appear to the right of the SSID name.
For the next 24 hours, that VAC will transmit its Wi-Fi profile to any VAC that comes within wireless communication
range.
All Wi-Fi profile components (SSID, credentials, server IP/ port, etc.) are transmitted.
VACs must be configured with the same facility code and RF frequency to successfully send and receive a
transmitted Wi-Fi profile.
Recipient VACs must be within wireless range of the sending VAC for approximately 1 minute to receive the
transmitted Wi-Fi profile.
Depending on obstructions and environment, the average wireless sharing range is 500 feet.
The VAC will automatically begin trying to connect with the newly received profile once a recipient VAC receives the
credentials.
To force the VAC to stop transmitting, from the main Wi-Fi menu option, select STOP TRANSMIT. Otherwise, the
VAC will stop transmitting on its own after 24 hours.
The VAC will only transmit credentials typed into it, or received from another VAC. It will not transmit credentials
synchronized from the software nor enterprise certificates.
