connect the SSID (Access Point name) and associated password. In simple client mode, you
can connect either to a specific SSID. Alternatively, you can use a scanning client mode to
connect to any known WiFi Access Point when within range (note, however, that this is not
possible when you run both client and access point on the same OVMS device).
2. Wifi Access Point
OVMS can operate as a WiFi Access Point itself, using standard WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) protocols.
This allows users to connect to the OVMS module itself. Note that OVMS v3 is not intended to
be a hotspot and users cannot access the Internet via the OVMS module.
Wifi Access Point mode can be combined with Wifi Client mode, to provide an access point for
maintenance of the module, as well as a client to access the Internet via another Access Point
within range.
3. Cellular Data
OVMS supports optional modems to provide cellular connectivity. These are configured via
Config / Modem.
