Use network mode to connect

In network mode, multiple plasma power supplies can be connected to a network. You can connect
to and control multiple plasma power supplies at the same time.You must have a computer-based
device with a screen, web browser that supports the latest web standards, and wireless access.

Before you begin:



You must set up a router with a local network to access. Follow the router’s instructions to
do this. If you have problems setting up your router, contact your system administrator.



You must know the SSID and passphrase for the router.

1.

Follow the procedure in

Use AP mode to connect
