5.5.4 WiFi Options
The WiFi options provide the ability to configure the detector to join an existing WiFi network using the normal
building network connection process. After the WiFi parameters have been entered and the user selects Apply
or OK, the detector will connect to the access point and remain connected while the access point is available.
The WiFi LED inside the detector is continuously lit while the detector is connected to the access point, and is
turned off if the detector is not connected to the access point.
