Attention !
Do not install Wi-Fi devices at a distance of less than 20cm from each other.
3.2. CONNECTION TO WI-FI WIRELESS NETWORK (WLAN)
Connection of ADA-14040 to WI-FI wireless network (WLAN) can be done by the use of devices like ACCESS-POINT, ROUTER Wi-Fi
or directly to computer, equipped with Wi-Fi card or other ADA-14040 port server.
In the connector of Wi-Fi interface of port server are two diodes (fig.2):
–
ACT green, signalling the state of data transferring or receiving,
–
LINK orange, signalling the active network connection.
Wireless Serial Server ADA-14040 can be use like :
–
virtual serial port [RealPort],
–
TCP serial bridge,
–
UDP serial bridge,
–
Modbus Data Gateway.
The factory default settings of ADA-14040 is:
- to connect to any free wireless network Wi-Fi. Therefore should be set the lowest, free channel of wireless transmission in the setting
of devices like ACCESS-POINT, ROUTER Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi card.
- to downloading the IP address from DHCP server. Therefore if there is not the DHCP server, to change IP address should be used
ADAFinder software (see p.5.1).
Details of the connection to wireless network will be described in the bellow chapters.
3.2.1. CONNECTION TO PC BY THE USE OF WIRELESS ADAPTER WI-FI
If there is not Access-POINT or Wi-Fi Router, the ADA-14040 can be connected directly to computer by the use of wireless network
adapter as on the figure below. Recommended network adapters USB to Wi-Fi:
–PENTAGRAM HORNET P6132-30,
–PENTAGRAM HORNET P6132-08,
–or other, operating in mode: Client Wi-Fi or Access Point (AP).
