6.4.1.1 Overview
On the WiFi tab of the Networking Services page, you can configure the
Wi-Fi functions of your device.
The netFIELD OS supports single band 2.4 GHz wireless network
communication (Wi-Fi / WLAN) according to IEEE 802.11 and can either
connect to an existing wireless network in “Client” mode or establish a new
wireless network as “Access Point”.
Other clients connected to the same Wi-Fi network can thus access the
Local Device Manager and/or other IP based services provided by the
netFIELD OS on your device. If configured accordingly, it can even route IP
data from the clients to other connected subnets, e.g. to an Ethernet subnet
connected at its
eth0 interface. The required “port forwarding” can be
configured on the Networking > Firewall page (see section
Firewall [
}
page 60]).
