Parameter Explanation
ID (Wireless ID)
Species the nal digits of the FP-50 ’s device name
and Ad-Hoc SSID (
FP-50 ) that will be shown as the
instrument in the wirelessly connected app.
Normally, you should specify “0,” but if you have
more than one of the same instrument, you can set
the Wireless ID in the range of 1–99 to change the
device name and Ad-Hoc SSID for each instrument,
as follows.
If wireless ID = 0, then “FP-50” (default).
If wireless ID = 1, then “FP-50_1.”
:
If wireless ID = 99, then “FP-50_99.”
Ad-Hoc
Species the channel (1–11) for Ad-Hoc mode.
Normally, you won’t need to change the channel.
Try changing the channel only if you have
problems connecting.
Connecting in Ad-Hoc Mode
Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the FP-50 directly to an
iPhone or other wireless device without using a wireless
LAN access point. This is a convenient way to use the FP-50
with an iPhone or other wireless device if you’re in a location
where the wireless LAN access point you normally use is
unavailable, such as when you’re away from home.
