WiFi Settings:
Note: Use of this feature requires a Silvus USB-WiFi adapter. The WiFi settings will only display if the WiFi
dongle is attached to the radio’s USB port before it is powered on.
•
Wifi Mode : Choose between AP, Client or Disabled. AP mode turns the WiFi dongle into a wireless
AP. This mode is useful for connecting phones, tablets, laptops, etc. to the radio in order to pull
up the web interface and access other devices in the mesh network. Client mode allows the radio
to connect to another wireless AP. This mode is useful for connecting to wireless cameras and
other devices which generate their own ‘hotspot’. Once set to client mode, a list of detected
wireless networks will be displayed with an option to connect.
•
Mode : When set to AP, the wireless can be configured to be in Bridge Mode or NAT mode. In
Bridge mode, the wireless interface is bridged with the Ethernet interface and the rest of the
mesh. This is the simplest mode as all data is transparent and at layer 2. NAT mode puts the WiFi
wireless traffic on a LAN, and the rest of the Silvus mesh network on a WAN. In effect, this means
that a device connected wirelessly via the NAT AP will be able to find any device in the larger mesh
network, but not vice versa. NAT mode is recommended for more advanced users who wish to
be able to segregate data.
•
SSID : Define the SSID for the wireless network. Must be between 1-31 characters. User also has
the option to prevent the AP from broadcasting it’s SSID by checking the ‘Hide’ box.
•
Security Mode : Determines whether the AP requires a password to connect.
•
Password : If ‘Security Mode’ is set to ‘Secure’, a password between 8 and 63 characters must be
set.
•
Wifi Channel : The Silvus USB-Wifi adapter supports 20 different Wifi channels in both the 2.4GHz
and 5GHz frequency ranges. It is recommended to set the Wifi channel to a frequency that has
maximum separation from the mesh network frequency. (i.e. if mesh network is operating at
2.4GHz, it is recommended to set the Wifi frequency somewhere in the 5GHz range). Note that
not all user devices support 5GHz Wifi.
•
Wifi Standard : Specify 802.11b or g wifi standard. Some legacy devices may not be able to connect
to an 802.11g network.
•
Wifi TX Power : This slider can be used to control the Wifi TX power from 0dBm (1mW) up to
17dBm (50mW).
•
Wifi Status : Provides status information of the wifi adapter. A list of connected clients will also be
shown here.
•
Port Forwarding (NAT Mode Only) : When in NAT mode, devices on the larger mesh will not be
able to locate devices connected to the wireless adapter. This can be overcome by mapping port
forwarding for specific data streams.
•
Wifi Scan : will scan nearby WIFI networks and list then under Wifi List.
