Configuring the Unit to Function as an Access Point
MVG and UVG400 units can be used as WiFi access points for other devices. This means that other WiFi-enabled
devices, such as PCs and smartphones, can connect wirelessly to the local network managed by the units' routers,
and, if the units are connected to the internet, these devices can connect to the internet through the local networks.
For example, if an MVG is installed in a vehicle and connected to the internet through a cellular network
connection, passengers in the vehicle could connect other devices to the MVG's network via WiFi and use the
MVG's internet connection to connect to the internet.
In order for a VG unit to function as an access point, you must assign an SSID to it and set its security settings.
Devices can connect to the access point in the same way that they would connect to any access point, using its SSID
and encryption key.
When the unit is configured to function as an access point, it cannot also connect via WiFi to other, external access
points. In this case, all the SSIDs in the list of Configured SSIDs appear as "Not in Range." In the
System
Summary
page, “WiFi” appears as disconnected. In the
Statistics
window of SVMultiClient, WiFi (WLAN)
appears as disconnected, and "AP," followed by the SSID of the Video Gateway, appear below it.

To configure an MVG unit to function as an access point:
