Ki Pro Installation and Operation Manual — CONFIG menus
53.1 802.11 CONTROL
This parameter determines whether Ki Pro can be controlled remotely from a wireless
browser. Enabling 802.11b/g control turns on the internal 802.11 radio. Parameters 53.2
through 53.5 must be set correctly to configure Ki Pro so it can be controlled. Ki Pro
wireless control also requires the presence of wireless access point on the local LAN
that it can communicate with.
Note: Although Ki Pro has an internal 802.11 transceiver, it is not a wireless access point.
Wireless browser clients talk to Ki Pro via an external wireless access point (such an Airport
Extreme base station). Also, turning on the 802.11 radio consumes additional power; it
should be disabled unless needed in order to save battery life.
Caution!
The 802.11b/g radio is disabled by default and can be enabled only in the
presence of an authorized access point.
Controlling Ki Pro from a browser (wired or wireless) is described in Chapter
4, Remote Web Control. As an overview, to wirelessly connect Ki Pro, you must:
• Enable the radio (53.1)
• Define the security between Ki Pro and wireless browser clients via parameter 53.3
• Setup the correct password required for wireless browser clients via parameter 53.4
• Choose the wireless access point that will connect Ki Pro to the LAN and to wireless
browser clients (54.1 through 54.3). The access point will have a 802.11b/g network name
defined.
53.2 802.11 NETWORK
This parameter defines the wireless network or “SSID” that Ki Pro will connect to via the
access point.
53.3 802.11 SECURITY
This parameter defines the type of security (encryption/format) used between Ki Pro,
the access point and wireless browser clients—if any.
