3.7. WIRELESS NETWORK BOARD
This is a board which is directly connected onto the Display Board , which allows a
VISIO/VISIOWEB device to be connected to a wireless network - WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network ) - as opposed to a cabled network. The VISIO/VISIOWEB device was developed to be
compatible with Wi-Fi technology (in particular with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard), which offers
theoretical band capacities of up to 54Mbps over a distance which depends on the characteristics of
the premises in which it is installed.
A typical indoor distance would be 30m (free space):

Standard: IEEE 802.11b/g;

Frequency band: 2.4GHz;

Security protocol: WPA/WPA2 or even less recent (e.g. WEP).
A WLAN connection may not guarantee the same connection performance levels as a
cabled network. The advantage of Wi-Fi is the absence of cables but this is also its
limitation in terms of protection from disturbance/interference with its performance
(stability of the service and band may be patchy) and with security (possible attacks from
hackers). Where possible, it is preferable to use a cabled network. The possibility of
using Wi-Fi or otherwise may also depend a lot on the type of service/application which
you want to use with VISIO.
In particular:
•
Technogym Communicator: useable with an appropriate Wi-Fi network,
•
IPTV: NOT useable with WI-FI network; this kind of application needs a cabled
network.
Technogym uses 2 different models of wireless network boards: one produced by VIA and the other
by Billionton . The two different boards are easily recognizable as is clear from the pictures below:

If a board has to be replaced with a different model, you must reset the system by using
the appropriate USB Recovery Key and the related “System recovery” function.
