Install Necessary Software
Before you start using the Wi-Fi scanner, you are recommended to install
following software into your host machine.
Cino WaveCentre
The WaveCentre is a useful Windows-based wireless management utility
together with an IP virtual COM software driver. Once you installed
WaveCentre into your host machine, it can create a virtual COM port for each
connected Wi-Fi scanner corresponding to its IP address. Then the Wi-Fi
scanner will work as a local serial device of the remote host.
FuzzyScan Wi-Fi PowerTool
By using the FuzzyScan Wi-Fi PowerTool, you can create Wi-Fi profiles,
change configurations and upgrade firmware with ease. Please note that you
have to install the USB virtual COM software driver before using the
PowerTool.
