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 network. On start-up, the receiver is configured to run as a 2.4 GHz 802.11 Access Point (AP) capable of accepting up to four client connections. The Wi-Fi AP is configured with the settings shown in Table: Wi-Fi default configuration. The default AP configuration can be over ridden using the WIFIMODE command and SAVECONFIG command.
Establish a connection between the receiver and a Wi-Fi network by locating the receiver in the list of detected Wi-Fi devices. Once detected, it is easy to connect to any laptop, tablet or smartphone with Wi-Fi capability and a web browser.
Refer to the Wi-Fi section in Connect the SMART7 to data communication equipment for instructions on starting a Wi-Fi connection to the SMART7-I or SMART7-W.
Refer to the Wi-Fi section in Connect the PwrPak7 to data communication equipment for instructions on starting a Wi-Fi connection to the PwrPak7.
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 Manage Web 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
The PwrPak7 and SMART7 supports three modes of operation.
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 access point 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.
Wi-Fi default settings
The term passkey and password are the same.
To view the current Wi-Fi settings, use the WIFIAPSETTINGS log.
Also refer to Wi-Fi changes for instructions on changing the various default settings. Refer to ALIGN over Wi-Fi overview for instructions on configuring ALIGN corrections.
