NETWORKING ATC
A requirement for the ATC system is a wireless or wired local area network. The system WILL NOT operate
properly when both a wired connection and wireless connection to the same network is used. The person(s) re-
sponsible for the local network should be on hand to answer any questions that might come up while connecting
the ATC to the network. The ATC toolbox can use the following wireless security encryption “WEP, WAP, WPA2,
WPA-PSK”. This security will keep outside intruders from entering the system.
ADDING THE TOOLBOX TO A WIRELESS NETWORK:
It is highly recommended that both an external USB keyboard and a USB mouse be used when setting up the
wireless network connections. This will simplify the process. There are 2 USB ports on the back of the unit for
this purpose. The wireless network must be active to complete the following procedure.
1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate wall
outlet.
2. From the back of the unit switch the power switch
to the on position.
3. After several seconds the ATC’s Home Menu will
appear.
4. If this is the initial ATC installation a Snap-on
service representative will enter the ATC service
code on the keyboard to gain access to the box.
If this is not the initial installation use a previously
congured user card and the card reader on the
front right of the ATC to log into the system. This
user card must have been given full administra-
tion privileges to this ATC unit.
