the base.
Wi-Fi Capability
The Wi-Fi transceiver in the communication module
provides secure wireless point-to-point communication to
a wireless-equipped personal computer operating under
the IEEE 802.11b standard. Transmission range is typically
150 feet (45.7 meters) or less. The Wi-Fi connection permits
local conguration and control of the IntelliRupter fault
interrupter. Further, if a wide-area network radio has
been furnished—and the radio supports conguration
through its serial port—it can be congured using the
Wi-Fi connection. SpeedNet
™
Radios may be congured
in this manner.
The Wi-Fi transceiver and associated software pro-
vide extensive security features to prevent unauthorized
access. These security features are described in S&C
Instruction Sheet 766-524, “IntelliRupter® PulseCloser®
Fault Interrupter: Wi-Fi and Security Administration.”
The communication module must be installed and
powered, and IntelliLink® Setup Software must be
installed on the computer before a Wi-Fi connection can
be established.
Wi-Fi Antenna
The factory-installed Wi-Fi antenna is on the underside of
the base, as shown in Figure 14.
If signal strength is not adequate, make sure the laptop
computer is less than 150 feet (45.7 meters) away and has an
unobstructed line of sight to the Wi-Fi antenna.
