Operation and Usage 

This Chapter details the operation of the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion and the 
status screens. 

Overview 

The mode can be changed ONLY by using the Mode switch on the side of the Wireless 3-in-1 
Companion. 

This switch has 4 positions: 

1.

 

AP Mode 

2.

 

AP/Router Mode 

3.

 

Config Mode  

4.

 

Reserved 

Set Chapter 1 for details about each mode, and some tips on which mode to use in different 
environments. 

Changing Modes 

While you can change modes at any time, please pay attention to the following points: 

•

 

Whenever the mode is changed, the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion will restart. You need to 
wait for the restart to be completed, which will take a few seconds. When the restart is 
completed, the 

Wireless

 LED will be ON. 

•

 

After changing modes, any Wireless connections will be lost. On your PC, you need to 
select the SSID (Wireless LAN) for the new mode in order to re-establish a Wireless con-
nection to the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion. 

Using AP Mode 

1.

 

Use a standard LAN cable to connect the Ethernet port on the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion 
to the desired LAN. 

2.

 

Use the mode selector switch on the side on the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion to select "AP" 
mode. 

3.

 

Wait for the restart to be completed, and the Wireless LED to come On. 

4.

 

On your PC, select the wireless LAN matching the SSID of the Wireless 3-in-1 Compan-
ion in AP mode. 
The default SSID for AP mode is  

default_AP

 

5.

 

If necessary, configure your PC's wireless interface to match the settings of the Wireless 
3-in-1 Companion's AP mode. 

6.

 

You should then be able to connect to the LAN via the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion.  

•

 

You can check the status of your PC's wireless interface to see that your PC has ob-

tained an IP address.  

•

 

This IP address must come from a server on the LAN; the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion 

itself is transparent.
