Note:
It is the responsibility of the user to operate the system under the local
regulatory domain requirements. KBC Networks recommends researching the
regulations prior to deploying a license free wireless system.
Basic Wireless: Local AP
3.2.5.2
The Local AP section is used to configure the Host/AP as an Access Point in order to
connect using a laptop/PC via WiFi connection. If the Host/AP is a single point
Host/AP, it cannot connect to a WESII Client and a computer client at the same time
due to the remote Client MAC lock. For a computer to obtain access via WiFi AP, the
laptop/PC must be configured to the security (WPA2) and cipher type (AES is default
configuration) selected. The SSID will appear in the computer’s available APs list
unless “Hide SSID” is selected. Once the WESII Host/AP is selected the WPA Pre-
shared Key must be entered as the AP password. The default configuration is
11111111 but it can be set to any desired pre-shared key.
