Putting into Operation
The PCAN-Wireless Gateway is configured via a web interface. In
the delivery state and after resetting to factory defaults, the device
provides a Micro Access Point network you can connect to via
WLAN.
Note:
Devices with a serial number below 200 provide an Ad-
Hoc network instead of a Micro Access Point. Unfortunately, the
connection to Ad-Hoc networks is no longer supported by
Windows since version 8.1 and Android. Please use a computer
with another operating system.
