Wireless devices
This dialog shows the internal wireless and any connected WIFI-1 devices, as well as their IP
and channel number. Selecting the internal wireless or a WIFI-1 device provides additional
detail.
To view and change internal wireless detail values (Network Name (SSID), Network Key, or
Channel) the internal wireless must be in Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode. To select a
network (hotspot) to connect to, the internal wireless must be in Client Mode. Use the
Mode option to change modes.
Mode
Displays if the internal wireless is set to Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode or Client Mode.
Select it to change the wireless between Access Point mode and Client Mode.
If the internal wireless is set to Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode, smartphones and tablets
can access the unit to view and control (tablet only) it. Also when set to Access Point
(Internal Wifi) mode you can view and change the internal wireless details. Client Mode
allows the unit internet access via a wireless hotspot.
When veiwing this menu for a WIFI-1 set to Access Point mode, it’s also possible to switch
between Primary and Secondary access point modes so two WIFI-1 devices can exist on
the network at the same time.
Only one WIFI-1 may operate as Primary, which determines that the device is acting as
DHCP server. Only one DHCP server may exist on a network at a time.
To use two WIFI-1s as access points simultaneously the unit must initially be connected to
only one unit. Once this unit is set to secondary, a second module may be turned on/
connected, and will automatically default to primary.
Ú
Note: In a network with only one WIFI-1 and one or more internal wireless modules, the
WIFI-1 should be left in Primary mode. The internal modules do not act as a DHCP
server.
Hardware
Provides firmware version info, and MAC address details.
Networks
Only visible if the internal wireless is in Client Mode when the device is selected. Shows a list
of all networks (hotspots) available for connection. Select the name of the desired network to
enter its network key and connect to it.
Network Name (SSID)
Displays the name of the internal wireless network.
Only visible if the internal wireless is set to Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode when the
device is selected. You can select it and change the internal wireless network to any name
you want for easy identification.
Network Key
Required by the smartphone or tablet to connect to the internal wireless network.
Only visible if the internal wireless is set to Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode when the
device is selected. You can select it and change it to increase network security. The key must
be at least 8 characters.
Channel
Only visible if the internal wireless is set to Access Point (Internal Wifi) mode when the
device is selected. Select it to change the Channel setting to overcome potential interference
to the internal wireless by another RF device transmitting in the same frequency band.
Restore defaults
Deletes all user made changes, and restores the wireless to factory settings.
