Programming the
WiFi connection
Only the MTX 162UEW versions have the wireless communication option:
WiFi.
This WiFi function is compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and g wireless
communications standards, and for security it is compatible with the 802.11i
Encryption standard.
The MTX 162UEW can be used in one of the network topologies described
by this standard:
- the
infrastructure
topology, in which wireless clients are connected to
an access point that permits the interconnection of this wireless network
to a cabled network.
- the
Ad Hoc
topology, in which the clients are connected to each other
without any access points. This mode makes it possible, for example, to
connect one or more oscilloscopes directly to a PC.
It is strongly recommended that you protect your network using a data
encryption and authentication mechanism, the MTX 162UEW manages the
WEP
(64 and 128 bits),
WPA
and
WPA2
security modes.
The latter two are to be privileged in terms of security.
However,
when in Ad Hoc mode, only WEP security is supported
.
The MTX 162UEW operates in roaming mode. It is therefore capable, in an
adapted network, (that has several access points with the same network
name (SSID) and the same security characteristics), of automatically
switching to the access point that has the greatest transmission power.
The WIFi settings cannot be changed if the device is using this
communication method. It is therefore necessary to return to a cable
connection first (USB or Ethernet).
If the oscilloscope is currently in WiFi mode it can be connected using the
'Tools' menu:
To continue, connect one of the communication cables to your oscilloscope
and click on
to start a new connection.
