Wireless Connection Parameters

When configuring a logger with built-in wireless capability an additional tab is available, allowing you to enter the connection details for your Wireless Network (WLAN).

You have the option to leave the settings unchanged. This is the default setting when you configure the device.

If you do want to change the settings, you will need the following details to connect to your WLAN:

• SSID (Service Set IDentifier)

  This is the identification of the wireless network you wish to connect to. You can select one of the broadcast SSID's from the list of available networks, or enter an SSID from a hidden network. This is required if you intend to deploy the device at a location with a different WLAN.

• Network Security Key

  This is sometimes also called the Pre-Shared Key (PSK), Passphrase or simply the Network Password. You need this password so the wireless network will allow the device to connect.

• Dynamic (DHCP) or Static IP

  If the WLAN has a DHCP server, enable DHCP.

  If your network does not have a DHCP server, disable DHCP. You can now enter individual network settings such as

  • Static network IP address
  • Subnet Mask
  • Gateway IP address
  • DNS server address

If necessary your IT Network Administrator can advise you of these settings.
