Wi-Fi Settings
AreaRAE Plus/Pro’s Wi-Fi is designed to operate on a wireless network anchored by Safety Suite
Device Configurator (SSDC) monitoring software and using Wi-Fi access points. Operational
distance between the instrument and the access point (wireless router) varies, depending on
distance, interference, and obstacles. It uses the 802.11b protocol using the 2.4GHz ISM
(license-free) frequency band.
Note: To ensure the best communication, it is recommended that the Wi-Fi-equipped
instruments and access point not be located close to microwave ovens, cordless telephones, or
Bluetooth devices.
Secure Wireless Access Point Configuration
If Wi-Fi is enabled, an AreaRAE Pro or AreaRAE Plus uses a Wi-Fi wireless network to transmit
data related to its current and past activity. To protect these data against unauthorized access,
Honeywell recommends the following when configuring your wireless network:
l
Set a unique network name (SSID). Do not use the default name.
l
Set unique administrative credentials (username and password) that control the
configuration settings of your Access Point / Router / Gateway. Do not use the default
credentials. Use a strong password (see Strong Password Tips).
l
Configure strong authentication and encryption in your network. Honeywell recommends
WPA2 Personal (aka WPA2-PSK) with AES encryption.
l
Create a strong network passphrase (see strong password tips). Do not use the default
passphrase.
l
Maintain the firmware of your Access Point / Router / Gateway as well as the firmware of
all devices connected to the wireless network up to date.
