5.2.2 Wi-Fi AP Configuration
By default, the ProPak6 Wi-Fi radio is configured as an AP and is enabled.
1. Connect the ProPak6 to a computer using one of the communication ports and turn power on.
2. The LED on the front of the ProPak6 lights blue (it may take up to 10 seconds for the AP to
become available). (If the radio is off, issue the
WIFICONFIG STATE ENABLED
command to turn on
the Wi-Fi radio.)
3. Enter
LOG WIFIAPSTATUS ONCHANGED
to monitor connection status.
4. Configure the AP by issuing the
WIFIAPCONFIG
command and the required network values.
Example:
WIFIAPCONFIG X AUTHENTICATION OPEN
(where
X

 If a ProPak6 is changed from the default AP to a Client configuration and later needs to
return to an AP configuration, the
WIFIAPCONFIG MODE AP
command is issued and
the Wi-Fi module power cycled (see step 9 below).
