APPENDIX E : WI-FI OPERATION
This section includes the process for setting up a wireless Remote, such as an iPad, with the appropriate App
for use with the 6600-NG. The wireless Remote will function only if the 6600-NG has been installed with the
optional wireless capability.
The wireless antenna is located on the Top Panel of the tester, as shown in Figure 2.1. Care must be taken not
to obstruct or cover the antenna with metallic objects, since this will be detrimental to effective Wi-Fi
operation.
Note: The Wired-Remote must be connected to the tester and operational even when the iPad is being
used.
E.1
iPad COMPATIBILITY
The Laversab App is compatible with the following iPads configured with iOS 8.1 or higher:
iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro.
E.2
DOWNLOADING THE APP
The Laversab App must be downloaded from the Apple App Store. Although the App itself is provided at
no charge, a credit card is required to create an Apple Store account which enables you to access and
download the App.
Once you have access to the App Store, search for “Laversab” and the app should appear with the icon as
shown below. If more than one App is displayed, select the App labeled “CH-3 / vx.xx”, where ‘x.xx’ is the
version number. If more than one version of the App is displayed, select the one with the latest version
number. Do not select the App labeled “CH-2 / vx.xx”, since this is intended for use only with a 2-Output
tester.
E.3
NETWORK SELECTION
Once the App has been installed on your iPad, the following steps need to be performed to connect to the
tester through the App.
a.
Turn ON the tester and ensure that the Wired-Remote is displaying the Main Screen. The
internal wireless access-point will now be active.
b.
On the iPad select the ‘Settings’ icon. Then select the Wi-Fi section. (See Figure E.1 below). The
right side will show all the Wi-Fi networks available. One of the networks will be labeled “LAV-
xxxxx”, where ‘xxxxx’ is the serial number of the tester you want to connect to.
c.
Select the network with the correct label, ensuring that the serial number matches the serial
number of your tester. The serial number of the tester can be found on the label placed on the
inside of the lid of the tester’s case, towards the bottom right corner.
