CHAPTER FIVE - CONECTIVITY

Before Starting to Configure WLAN
To start with, you need to open a hub of WLAN
connectivity on your PL3000. That hub is called SCU
Configuration Utility on your PL3000. There are three
possibilities to open the SCU utility on your PL3000.
The adjacent figure suggests opening the utility through
the Start Menu. The second way is to double-tap on the
Wi-Fi icon in the control panel window. A double tap on
the tray icon of the SCU utility on the taskbar is a third
way.
The first thing after opening the SCU utility is to
check that your PL3000 incorporates the WLAN radio.
The adjacent figure illustrates the situation in which the
PL3000 includes the radio with its default options. It
takes the SCU utility a little while to receive information
about the radio’s existence. If the WLAN radio is not
included in your PL3000, the status of the following
three fields on the ‘Main’ page remains unchanged as
follows:
Status: Down
Radio Type: --
Reg. Domain: --
There is a button identified by the text ‘Disable
Radio’ on the Main property page, see the adjacent figure. If the button has text
‘Enable Radio’ written on it on your Main page in the SCU, then you need to tap on
the button to get the radio turned on. It is the second step if you are going to get
the WLAN connectivity up and running (of course, assuming that your PL3000
incorporates the WLAN radio module).
