Typically, the easiest way to network enable a Detective X is to simply plug a RJ45 Ethernet cable into the
unit’s rear panel. The wired connection is enabled by default on the Detective X, and it will automatically
obtain appropriate settings from the DHCP server on the host network. This type of connection is useful in a
CONOPS where users collect data in the field, then return to an office to send queued data to the Reachback
organization. After just a few setup steps (see Section 4.12 and Figure 67), the user can simply connect the
Ethernet cable and the Detective X will send emails to the Reachback organization automatically. The wired
Ethernet connection can also be configured for more specialized applications that require the Detective X to
use a fixed IP address and associated settings.
Network settings and information are available via the Communications button located on the Settings page.
The Wired Ethernet tab for this page is shown below for a connected Detective X. The Configure Ethernet
button can be used in instances where DHCP should not be used to determine network settings. Notice that
the WiFi status icon in the top right of the display shows red meaning disabled. All WiFi network connections
are automatically disabled any time a wired connection is made to prevent bridging between networks at
potentially different security levels.

Connection to WiFi networks requires an extra step to first identify the target WiFi network. Select the WiFi
tab on the communications settings tab (Figure 68). Tap to mark the Enable box, then tap the Configure WiFi
button. This brings up a screen listing all available WiFi networks. Tap the button to the left of the desired
network name and the system will connect (and request credentials if the network is secured). Use the Add
a network… button to access hidden WiFi networks.
NOTE The Enable box is automatically selected and disabled if the instrument has the Enhanced
Communication design (see Figure 6) and the WiFi dongle is installed. In this case, the WiFi
connection can only be disabled by removing the WiFi dongle from the instrument.
