WIFIALIGNAUTOMATION

Configure the ALIGN plug-and-play feature over Wi-Fi

Platform: 

PwrPak7, SMART7-I, SMART7-SI, SMART7-W

PwrPak7M and PwrPak7Q variants do not support this command.

Use this command to simplify the configuration of a pair of receivers; one acting as an ALIGN Base and the other acting as an ALIGN Rover.

Similar to the ALIGNAUTOMATION command the ALIGN Rover, acting as a Wi-Fi Client, connects to the specified Wi-Fi Access Point and configures it as an ALIGN Base.

The IP address of the ALIGN Rover and ALIGN Base must be different. Since all NovAtel receivers are delivered with the same default IP address, it is highly recommended to use the WIFIAPIPCONFIG command to change the IP address of the ALIGN Rover to a non-default value such as 192.168.20.1 prior to entering the WIFIALIGNAUTOMATION command. Failure to do so may result in loss of wireless communication to the ALIGN Rover.
