3.2 Windows applications for creating a Wi-fi HotSpot.
Once you have Wi-Fi installed on your computer there are 2 methods to connect to
your Intec SC5000 cutter.
1
. Use the built in Windows HOTSPOT function. This is easy to use and uses
Windows 10’s own HOTSPOT feature.
Note
: Windows HotSpot is a WindowsOS feature that enables a Mobile
HotSpot - Direct Wi-Fi connection. However, it as initially intended for
sharing an internet connection, so please bear in mind that if you do not
have an internet connection on your computer, the Windows HOTSPOT
feature can not be enabled. (This is true, even though you are connecting
directly to the Intec SC5000 cutter and not using the feature to connect to
the internet). If you do not have an internet connection then we recommend
creating a DIRECT connection (Below) which is how newer devices like
some TV remote controls (Roku 3 )work, to do this use a utility like
Wi-Fi
Direct Access point
(below).
2
. Use the Wi-Fi Direct Access Point. This is a paid for utility from the
Windows Store for Windows 10 users.
Wi-Fi Direct
makes a direct connection to the Intec Wi-fi video feed from the Camera,
eliminating any routers or network management issues. It does this using the Wi-Fi
Direct standard, which enables devices to easily connect with each other without
requiring a wireless access point. Wi-Fi Direct allows two devices to establish a
direct Wi-Fi connection without requiring a wireless router or internet connection.
