Ver 1.6
Client configuration
As a wireless client, the NTC-40WV is able to connect to another wireless access point to gain network or internet access. The
Client configuration page provides the ability to turn on or off the wireless radio, find nearby access points and configure a
connection to an access point.
The NTC-40WV may run both Access Point and Client simultaneously, however, since they share the wireless channel, both client
and access point must use the same channel.

OPTION
DEFINITION
Client radio on/off
Turns the wireless radio on or off.
Status
Displays the current channel and connection status of the wireless client.
Auto roaming
Toggles the automatic roaming feature of the router. This is useful in situations where the router is mounted in a
vehicle and is required to connect to various wireless routers with the same SSID. When this is enabled, the AP
BSSID field is ignored.
Short scan interval
When the wireless signal strength is above (weaker than) the value listed in the Signal strength threshold field, the
router scans for wireless networks at this interval.
Signal strength threshold
The signal strength threshold that determines whether the router considers the WiFi signal to be weak and
therefore which scan interval to use to scan for another wireless network.
Long scan interval
When the wireless signal strength is below (stronger than) the value listed in the Signal strength threshold field,
the router scans for wireless networks at this interval.
Metric
The metric value is used by the router to prioritise routes.
SSID to connect
Enter the SSID of the network you wish to connect to or you may use the Scan button to discover nearby
networks.
AP BSSID
The BSSID or MAC address of the access point to which you are connecting.
Frequency (channel)
The channel to be used for the client connection. This must be the same as the channel in operation on the
access point function of the NTC-40WV as the channel is shared between the functions.
Network authentication
The type of authentication in use on the network.
WPA pre-shared key
Enter the pre-shared key required to join the wireless network.
