The Other Setup tab provides settings for Wi-Fi, Logging, Digital Output, and Modbus. The settings for
each is described below.
12.1
Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi section controls the operation of the Wi-Fi hotspot built into the station.
Please note that this Wi-Fi hotspot is NOT connected to the internet.
The purpose of the Wi-Fi hotspot is to allow someone who is on site to connect to the station with a
mobile phone, a tablet, or a laptop wirelessly. This hotspot is not connected to the internet. It is a one on
one connection between the station and the computer.
The range of the Wi-Fi is circumstantial. Direct line of sight may provide access within 100 feet.
For instructions on how to connect to the station via Wi-Fi, please see
To ensure security, please enable Wi-Fi password protection. The Wi-
Fi security is distinct from XLink’s
password protection. Even if Wi-Fi security is not enabled, XLink is still protected by its password as per
The station only turns on the Wi-Fi hotspot at certain times. There are two settings that control when it is
turned on:
Wifi Enable:
If this setting is off, the station will never turn Wi-Fi
automatically
. It will only turn
on when the front button is pressed or when the WIFI ON command is issued.
Please note that pressing the wakeup button will turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot even if Wifi Enable
is off.
Wifi Always On:
if this setting is on, the Wi-Fi spot provided by the station will always be turned
on. Turning this setting on will result in increased power consumption, but it will make the
station always available.
Wifi Security enable:
This setting enables WPA2-AES security. A passphrase must be entered to
allow Wi-Fi access.
The table below describes when the Wi-Fi hotspot is on.
