Wi-Fi Configuration

Wi-Fi is a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) used to exchange data wirelessly over a computer network.

The PwrPak7, SMART7-I, SMART7-SI and SMART7-W have a Wi-Fi transceiver that works as a 2.4 GHz 802.11 Access Point (AP). On startup, the receiver automatically configures itself as an AP. The Wi-Fi AP is configured with the settings shown in Table: Wi-Fi Default Configuration and is enabled when the receiver is powered on. The default AP configuration can be over ridden using the WIFIMODE command and SAVECONFIG command.

The PwrPak7 and SMART7 supports three modes of operation plus On and Off.

By default, the receiver is configured to run as a 2.4 GHz 802.11 Access Point (AP) capable of accepting up to four client connections.

When the PwrPak7 or SMART7 starts up, the AP starts automatically with no special configuration required.
The SSID and password/passkey for the PwrPak7 are printed on a label on the bottom of the receiver. The SSID is "PwrPak7-<Receiver PSN>" (e.g. "PwrPak7-ABCDEF12345678E").
The SSID and password/passkey for the SMART7 are printed on a label located by the connectors of the receiver. The SSID is "SM7-<Receiver PSN>" (e.g. "SM7-ABCDEF12345678E").

Once a Wi-Fi connection is established, open a browser and navigate to the receiver's URL which is 192.168.19.1 by default. The receiver WebUI homepage opens.

In addition, it is possible to connect to an ICOM port by establishing a terminal connection to the receiver's IP address using TCP ports 3001 through 3007.

Wi-Fi Modes

Access Point (AP)

AP is the Wi-Fi default mode at start up. This mode is used by the PwrPak7 or SMART7 to wirelessly connect to devices defined as clients or concurrent. Refer to Enable the Wi-Fi Client for detailed instructions.

Client

When in Client mode, the PwrPak7 or SMART7 can only communicate with APs. Refer to Enable the Wi-Fi Client for detailed instructions.

Concurrent

When set to Concurrent mode, the PwrPak7 or SMART7 can act as both an AP and a Client. Refer to Enable the Wi-Fi Concurrent for detailed instructions.

The term passkey and password are the same.
