Setting up the Wi-Fi network
Connecting a Wi-Fi transceiver (dongle) to the rear USB Host port on your
oscilloscope enables you to connect the instrument to a Wi-Fi network. You can
then use the Wi-Fi connection to access the oscilloscope from mobile devices
such as a smart phone or tablet, or from a PC.
This section covers configuring the oscilloscope to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
A separate section covers configuring the oscilloscope to connect to a network
using a CAT5 Ethernet cable. See Setting up the LAN network on page 153.
Turning Wi-Fi on or off
You must turn on the Wi-Fi function before you can communicate with the
oscilloscope. Use this procedure to turn on or off Wi-Fi.
Prerequisites:
■
Connect a supported Wi-Fi dongle to the rear USB Host port (Tektronix
option TEKUSBWIFI). Recommendation is to use the rear USB port so that
you keep the front USB port available for saving and loading files.
■
DHCP connectivity is On.
1. Push the Utility front-panel button.
2. Push the Config side-menu button.
3. Use the Multipurpose knob to select and click Wi-Fi Config.
4. Highlight Wi-Fi On Off.
5. Push the Multipurpose knob to select ON. The oscilloscope takes a few
moments to make the connection and request and load the IP address from
the network server. The Wi-Fi network connection icon (upper right edge of
screen) should be on (white).
6. Push the knob again to turn Wi-Fi to Off.
