How to Use
The WiFi adapter WIFI 011 can be operated either as a client or as an access point. If the
WIFI 011 is to be used as a client, unlike the HGW 1033-X, the client mode is not started
automatically (without command in the "autoexec.lsl"), since the AP mode can be activated
via an application, for example. In this case it would be necessary to deactivate the client
mode before.
With the following CLI or autoexec.lsl commands the desired mode can be selected or started
without application.
"WLANCLIENT START 10"
or
WLANAP 10 (this command was already available)
3.1
Client
There are two ways to use the WLAN Client. To handle the WiFi adapter, you can edit the
configuration file and start the client like described below. On the other hand, SIGMATEK
provides a LASAL class to be used with the WiFi adapter.
3.2
Configuration File
The configuration of the network (the access point to which the client should connect) can be
set in the configuration file:
“C:\LSLSYS\WIRELESS.CONF”
This file is located on the control and must be adapted. The entries for
“ssid” and “psk” must
exist.
Important
: The line with the option
"update_config=1"
is required so that configuration
changes are saved permanently.
Please note that when overwriting the configuration file, the comments from it are removed.
# This is the configuration file to handle the connection with
wireless networks via interface 10.
# To connect to a Wireless Access Point, use one of the methods be-
low
# (remove '#' in front of the line) depending on the security
method of the access point.

# NOTE: Don't touch the first line!
