2.9 Connecting to a Touch Screen Hotspot
By connecting to the ad-hoc Wi-Fi network hosted by a TSU you will be able to
access the data being recorded by the TSU and some of the settings via your
browser. Please note that the ad-hoc Wi-Fi network is only available on units
fitted with the Wi-Fi option; the connection speed and signal range is limited
compared to other Wi-Fi networks; the number of simultaneous connections to
the network is limited and that you will not be able to access any other internet
sites or services through the ad-hoc Wi-Fi network.
You will need a computer with a working Wi-Fi network device and a recent web
browser.
Using the network connection tools for your operating system, locate the TSU
ad-hoc network (you may need to “refresh” or “rescan” at this point). It will be
named to match the serial number of the TSU:
The ad-hoc Wi-Fi network is not secured by any passwords so you ought to be
able to simply select and connect to the network – wait whilst your computer
negotiates new network settings with the TSU. This can take a while,
depending on the signal strength and any activity being carried out by the TSU
such as saving data or sending alarm messages.
