4.3 WIF.exe Operation
This is the front page presented by WIF.exe. It gives you
access to three top level menus…
•
File
•
Tools
•
Help
The front page also gives you information on…
•
Wired Ethernet connection MAC & IP addresses
•
802.11 wireless MAC and IP addresses
•
Firmware & Bootloader Versions.
•
Region Code (US/CE)
•
SPI configuration parameters
•
UART configuration parameters
You may click the “Refresh” button at the bottom at any time to read
the WISM+ again.
This front page also allows you to select or de-select Bridged mode.
It also allows selection of Infrastructure/Ad-Hoc mode.
You can set the SPI bus and UART parameters.
NOTE:
This tool reads and writes the state of the configured parameters stored in the WISM+. Any
time you modify parameters, they are written to the WISM+ upon exit of the WIF.exe program.
You must then reset the WISM+ for them to take affect, and re-start WIF.exe to view the
changes by the configuration tool.
4.4 WIF Access Point Scan
