WiFi (WLAN)
Wireless Settings (Client)
The user can configure up to 20 access points.
Note: All access points must run a DHCP server.
In wireless client mode, the Sentry 4G unit will try to connect to the Access Point with the strongest
signal on the list. When the Sentry 4G unit connects to an access point, it starts a DHCP client
service. The DHCP server running on the access point must provide an IP address, netmask, and
gateway to the Sentry 4G unit. When the WiFi client is connected to a WiFi access point, the default
route is set to point to the gateway address obtained by the DHCP client.
