Selecting
Always allow
will mean the device can automatically
connect without needing a password each time. This menu also
allows disconnection of devices that no longer require access.
Wireless devices
Shows the internal wireless module and any connected WIFI-
1 devices, as well as their IP and channel number. If a WIFI-1 is
connected, and the system detects the software is out of date,
an option to update will also be displayed. WIFI-1 updates, when
required, are included with the display updates.
Selecting a device will provide additional detail.
Network Name
and
Network Key
may be edited for security, and
Channel
can
be changed where connection to unit is compromised due to
interference.
Mode
can be changed on WIFI-1 device only. Restore
defaults will return unit to factory settings.
Mode (WIFI-1 only)
When more than one WIFI-1 device is
connected (i.e. on large installations), only
one may operate as
Primary
. Primary
mode determines that the device is acting
as DHCP server - only one DHCP server
may exist on a network at a time.
To set a device as secondary, the HDS Gen3 Polaris must initially
be connected to only one WIFI-1 module, which should be set to
secondary
. Once completed, a second module may be plugged in,
which will automatically default to primary.
¼ Note: Use of multiple devices is solely for range extension purposes.
