Select your operator then type in PIN when prompted

2. Configuring the wireless communication details

Once in Manager Mode go to Machine Setup > Comms Setup > Wireless Setup
These settings can only be accessed if the USB RF Device can be detected by the application.

You will then be presented with the following options:

• Basic to configure:
o IP Address and Sub-Netmask
o Gateway for use on a WAN
o DHCP settings
o Mode (Infrastructure is supported)
o Security Mode (WPA2, WEP etc)
• Advanced to configure:
o ESSID
o PSK (Pre-Shared Key) for use with WPA
• Load Conf File:
o This allows the loading of the configuration file from a USB Memory drive.
There are times, such as a large scale rollout, that it may be desirable to load
certain settings in quickly. Please contact Support Services for further
information.

Care Notes:
• Please note that we currently only recommend infrastructure mode
• When configuring the IP address of the RF Dongle then this must be on a different
subnet mask to the wired IP address
