Configure for network communication
The XFC
G5
and XRC
G5
can connect to several types of wired or wireless networks. The Ethernet port
supports connection for both local and remote communication. The Wi-Fi and onboard Bluetooth
wireless interfaces support connection for local wireless communication.
When planning to enable Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth communication, configure the Network ID of the
XFC
G5

G5
. Use the same Network ID for all three types of connections. This procedure is
required before enabling Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Network ID is the name or ID that uniquely identifies the device on
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth networks. The default network ID combines the device type
(name) and serial number. If changing the default, ensure that the name is unique. The
Network ID is the name broadcast on the wireless networks and must be detected by wireless
devices prior to establishing connection.
Configure the network ID:
On the PCCU Entry mode navigation tree, select
Communications
.

Network
tab.
To change the default in the Network ID field, type the desired name (not recommended).
Click

to save.
Use the Network ID to identify the XFC
G5
or XRC
