3.2 Options for connecting to the AQM 65
There are several options to establish a communication connection to the AQM 65. These require the
communication settings to be changed in the Configure Instrument App shown in Figure 3-4. The
communications settings are entered in to the third column. Details of each of these communication
methods and how to set them up in the Configure App are given in the online training. Common
communication configuration settings are shown in Figure 3-7.

settings
There are two independent connection types; WIFI and wired Ethernet.
1. The ePC has built in WIFI which can be configured either:
as an access point
it can be used to connect to an existing LAN over WIFI
2. The ePC has a separate wired Ethernet connection, this can used in a number of ways:
To directly connect to a PC
To connect to a wired LAN via a router
To connect to an IP modem to provide cellular communication.
The WIFI connection and Ethernet connection are independent from each other so that both can be
used at the same time.
The recommended configuration for connection is to set the WIFI mode to access point and the wired
Ethernet to Client mode to use with the MOXA modem.
