6. Save the settings to implement them permanently (see Saving Configuration Changes,
page 139). It is not necessary to restart the system.
WiFi
WiFi settings configure the system to use a WiFi card when the card is connected to the unit
(see Connecting the MVG 400 to an External Network, page 26). When the WiFi card is
correctly configured, the MVG 400 automatically establishes a connection to the specified
wireless network through its access point (hotspot). If the access point is connected to the
internet, the MVG 400 can use this connection to connect to the internet in order to send and
receive data.
When the unit is connected to a WiFi network, the WiFi status displayed in the
System
Summary
screen, in the network settings, is “Connected,” and the MVG 400's IP in the
wireless network is displayed.

Specifying the Access Point
In order to connect to an access point, you must supply its service set identifier (SSID), which
is essentially the name of the wireless network.
In addition, many access points employ an encryption key to prevent unauthorized
connections. If the access point you specify requires an encryption key, you must supply this
key if you want the unit to connect to the access point.
NOTE: Only WEP encryption is supported at this time. The MVG cannot connect to WiFi
networks that use other encryption methods (such as WPA).
