V-Log in WiFi mode
It is recommended that V-Log is connected to USB power when used in WiFi mode as
the power requirements are high, and will drain the battery quickly.
Connecting V-Log WiFi to a network
V-Log WiFi can operate in two different modes:
1.
Connected to its own local network (Access Point)
V-Log WiFi is set to Access Point by default. In this mode the iPad connects to a network created by V-
Log. This connection is typically used when not in range or able to access the school’s network (perhaps
on a field trip). While connected to V-Log in Access Point mode, the iPad will NOT be connected to any
other school network resources, and therefore unable to access other items such as web pages, email,
cloud storage, etc.
It is possible to have multiple V-Log WiFi loggers each creating their own separate network.
2.
Connec
ting to an existing school’s network (Infrastructure)
In this mode V-Log WiFi and the iPad connect to the same existing network. It has the advantage of
allowing the iPad to remain connected to other resources delivered by the school network, such as web
access, email, printing and cloud storage facilities, etc.
