the range of 1–99 to change the device name and Ad-Hoc
SSID for each instrument, as follows.
If Wireless ID=0, “HP508” (default value)

If Wireless ID=99, “HP508_99”
Ad-Hoc
Ch .

Normally, you won’t need to change the channel.
Try changing the channel only if you have problems

Connecting in Ad-Hoc Mode
Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the HP508 directly to an iPad
or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access
point. This is a convenient way to use the HP508 with an
iPad or other wireless device if you’re in a location where the
wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable,
such as when you’re away from home.
