ADAM-4570W & 4571W User Manual

50

Appendix A  Quick Start

There are two ways to complete the wireless connection between an 
access point and ADAM-4570W/4571W; via Diagnostic Ad hoc Mode or 
via Diagnostic Infrastructure Mode. We recommend you use Ad Hoc if 
your host PC is equipped with a wireless module.

A.1  Diagnostic Ad hoc Mode (with wireless module)

1.

Set the switch of ADAM-4570W/4571W to

 Diagnostic Mode

, 

then power on.

2.

Wait for 10 to 20 seconds until the signal quality is stable.

3.

Start the wireless module on your host PC (Only the WLAN is 
active now, ensure the Ethernet link is inactive), scan the existing 
wireless BSS (Basic Service Set) on your site.

4.

Find the BSS named 

WLAN
