Note that you create line breaks in the "network_settings.ini" file with <LF> (Linux style). Line
breaks cannot be created with <CR><LF> (Windows style).
The IP addresses (IPv4) must be adapted to your local network settings. If there is only one
DNS server, its IP address also needs to be entered in "dns-server2". The settings are activated
automatically as soon as you connect the reader to the Ethernet again.
WLAN (SIMATIC RF160B)
Do not establish a WLAN connection
Do not establish a WLAN connection with the device. If you do establish a WLAN connection,
make sure that it is a secure connection.
The mobile reader has a WLAN module via which the reader can be integrated in an existing
WLAN. As is usual with Android operating systems, you can define the network settings of the
reader via the system settings of the operating system.
You can find detailed information on the WLAN standards and their encryption in the section
"Technical specifications of the SIMATIC RF160B (Page 63)".
The SIMATIC RF160B provides the option to set further WLAN parameters outside of the
values offered by Android as standard. You can edit these parameters in the file
"wifi_config.conf" ("sdcard > ACD > wifi"). The values are also described in detail there. To
apply the specific WLAN settings, you need to enter the maintenance code "77696" in the
SystemApp.
