Chapter 4 – MC-Config Program
An active firewall on the computer could prevent the communication with the
WLAN client.
4.3 Operation
After being started the MC-Config program first detects all network interfaces that
are currently active on the computer. Via these interfaces queries are then sent out
per Broadcast UDP/IP that will be answered by HG G
76343/4/5 devices. The re
-
sponding devices are registered and displayed in a list.
Figure 12
MC-Config Program: User Interface
The marked user interface items are explained below.
Below the list there is a field for messages from the MC-Config program. Here also
debug messages from WLAN clients are displayed, if this function has already been
activated on the WLAN client. By double-clicking this field all messages saved so far
are opened in a text editor.
