Version

5.5.2 WiFi (WLAN)ÆWireless Settings (Client)

The user can configure up to 20 access points.

Note: All access points must run a DHCP server.

In wireless client mode, the Vanguard 3G unit will try to connect to the Access Point with the

strongest signal on the list. When the Vanguard 3G unit connects to an access point, it starts a DHCP

client service. The DHCP server running on the access point must provide an IP address, netmask,

and gateway to the Vanguard 3G unit. When the WiFi client is connected to a WiFi access point, the

default route is set to point to the gateway address obtained by the DHCP client.
