Once the device has restarted refresh the page or reconnect to
the
ComWiFi
and open the
STA
page.
•
Take note of the IP address, subnet mask, Gateway & DNS
Server for the network. For Example
IP
= 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask
= 255.255.255.0,
Gateway
= 192.168.0.1 &
DNS
= 192.168.0.1
If you experience issues with connection, or the ComWiFi being disconnected from
the router, you should assign a fixed IP address that is outside of the DHCP pool. See
page 46 for details.
Click
Save
and
Restart
, you can then close the web browser. If
youyr browser prompts you to save the password select no, or not
now. The unit will
restart
during this period.
The unit can take up to 5 minutes to restart. You should not attempt to connect to the
unit during this time.
Re-scan for wireless networks on the WiFi device and connect to the
Wi-Fi router.
In the web browser on a PC on the same network, you should be able to connect to
the
ComWiFi
with the new IP address you have given it. This will prove the settings
have been accepted.
In this example the IP address assigned to the
ComWiFi
is within
the DHCP Pool, and should therefore be reserved so that it cannot
be used by another device.
DHCP Reservation
On the PC check for DHCP or Address reservation. You should have
something like this.
Click
Add New
or whatever the router displays and enter the
required details. The
MAC
address you noted down on page 44
will
be required, as will the IP address of the
ComWiFi
. Once you have
entered the details press
Save
.
Manually Assigning an IP Address
(Outside DHCP
pool)
With this method you will be assigning an address to the
ComWiFi
which is outside of the DHCP pool. IP address ranges go from 1-
254. In the example in the previous section we can see that the IP
address range on the router starts at 192.168.0.50 and ends at
192.168.0.199.
We now have the option of assigning an address between 2-49 or
200-254.
On the WiFi enabled device where you accessed the
ComWiFi
do
the following.
•
Click on the
STA
Setting tab on the left side of the screen.
•
Ensure Obtain an IP Address Automatically is
Disabled
.
•
Under the
'Network Name
' click on
Scan
and then select the
Wi-Fi network. This is the name of the wireless router (SSID)
that is connected to the internet.
•
Enter the router password if required.
•
Enter the chosen IP address for example 192.168.0.25
•
Enter the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0) but can be
found on the router.
•
Enter the Gateway IP address (the router)
•
Enter the DNS Server details (usually same as the router)
•
Click
Save.
•
When prompted
Restart
the device.
•
Disconnect the
ComWiFi
from the control panel com port.
•
Re-scan for wireless networks on the WiFi device and connect
to the WiFi router.
If you cannot find all of the required details on the router, simply follow the
instructions to automatically assign and IP address, and then disable DHCP and
overtype the IP address with the one you have chosen that is outside the DHCP pool.
In the web browser on a PC on the same network you should now be able to connect
to the
ComWiFi
with the new IP address you have given it. This will prove the settings
have been accepted.
Panel Settings

ComWiFi
is enabled on the network, the control panel

ComWiFi
to the control panel com port.
The settings will be sent to the
ComWiFi
. If you used DHCP to
obtain the IP address, this will now be disabled on the STA settings
page of the
ComWiFi
to preserve the IP address, and is the correct
operation.
Exit engineers mode on the control panel.
The control panel can now be accessed on the LAN. However, to
access the panel from the
Texecom
mobile apps or
Wintex
remotely
,
additional steps are required within the various
