Configuring WiFi Station Parameters
Skip this section if the WiFi module is to be configured as an access point/router since the network
parameters for the meter will be automatically set up.
To connect your meter to the existing wireless network, select Communication Setup from the Meter Setup
menu and click on the WiFi Station Setup tab.
Configure the wireless network parameters as follows:
Network Name (SSID) – the wireless network name you want to connect to. The default factory preset
network name is DEVICE-NET.
Security/Encryption Type – the WiFi security and data encryption method set for the wireless network in
the network router.
Security Key – the pass phrase to authenticate the meter with your wireless network.
If you connect the meter to a SATEC WiFi network, use same network authentication parameters as you
configured for the network access point/router (see Section 3 below).
If you connect the meter to a foreign WiFi network, you can identify the wireless network parameters via
the Windows Network and Sharing Center on your PC connected to the WiFi network:
On Windows 7 and 8.1, click the Start button, and then open the Control Panel. Select Network and Internet
-> Network and Sharing Center.
On Windows 10, click the Start button, then select Settings -> Network & Internet -> Status -> Network
and Sharing Center.
In Network and Sharing Center, next to Connections, select your WiFi network name. In Wi-Fi Status,
select Wireless Properties, and then click on the Security tab to see the network security type and
encryption method. Check the Show characters check box to see your WiFi network security key.
