Section Value
WiFi General
Enable Wi-Fi Disabled / Enabled ( Enabled is the default setting)
SSID Enter the name of the SSID. ThalesLINK is default.
Broadcast SSID Disabled / Enabled ( Enabled is the default setting)
Wi-Fi Channel Set the Wi-Fi Channel 1 – 11
Security Mode Set the security mode for the channel – OPEN or WPA2. OPEN is
default and does not require a Security Key (password).
Security Key When WPA2 is selected as the security mode, a security key must be
entered. The password must be at least 8 characters in length and can
be any combination of characters, numbers, etc. Once enabled, any
device accessing the ThalesLINK (or new SSID name) Wi-Fi will
have to enter the password.
Wi-Fi Device Whitelist
Device Whitelist Disabled / Enabled ( Disabled is the default setting)
Whitelist
This allows specific devices to access the system’s Wi-Fi. If Enabled,
only the devices entered in the Whitelist are allowed on the Wi-Fi
network. This is done by entering the MAC address of the device
(example: 01:23:45:67:89:ab). All others are prevented from accessing
it. See below note for finding a device’s MAC address
Assign a Nickname to the MAC Address
NOTE
Once the initial Wi-Fi WPA2 Security Key is entered, it can be
changed at any time by just overwriting the current Security Key
in the SETTINGS

Wi-Fi

WIRELESS GENERAL area.
NOTE
To identify a device’s MAC address for whitelisting, you should
be able to find it in your device’s Settings menu. Sometimes it
is called the Wi-Fi Address. If it can’t be found, a simple way is
that while the Device Whitelist is DISABLED, connect the
device to be whitelisted to the Wi-Fi system by selecting the
correct Wi-Fi Network (SSID) and typing in the Security Code if
WPA2 is enabled. Once connected, go to STATUS

CURRENT DEVICES menu item and find the device Hostname
in the list of Allocated IPs. The MAC address will be in the left
column.
NOTE
Changing the SSID disrupts the current connections so some Wi-
Fi connections are dropped. The behavior is device dependent
and will appear to be different for each device. Refer to Table 6-
1 for additional information.
