4.3.2. WiFi Station mode
Station mode WiFi allows the router to handle the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be
picked up through the router anywhere on the local area network. Similar to plugging the device directly
into the router by wire, but instead using wireless technology.
This allows the main mobile device to still receive Internet and for users to be able to view the data.
Users who use the Quark-cloud service must setup their A036 in station mode and get Internet access.
To begin using station mode the A036 should be attached to a computer running windows (for Mac
user’s windows boot camp) via USB.

and 255. This number must not be used by any other equipment connected to the router.
