Specs
For any WPS option to function, the gateway/router must support it. If not, the option is not applicable
to the current network.
WPS options are available for all supported Wi-Fi protocols.
For more information on WPS, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup. Otherwise,
further information on WPS is beyond the scope of this document.
3.4 Wi-Fi Setup
The Wi-Fi Setup menus contain all the functions associated with finding and connecting to Wi-Fi
networks, including:
Wi-Fi Setup > Scan on page 3-5
Wi-Fi Setup > Connect on page 3-7
These functions operate generally identically for all wireless protocols.
3.4.1 Wi-Fi Setup > Scan
This function scans for all wireless networks within range of the unit and lists them on the display. Once
the list is produced, you can select the desired network and use the Tests (F1) > Connect shortcut to
connect. This method of connecting to a wireless network is preferred because:
You can ensure that you are connecting to the correct network on the correct channel. In densely-
populated areas, it is not unusual for multiple wireless networks to be available within any given
residence, including networks with the same SSID (name).
When the connection action is initiated, the unit prepopulates many of the parameters which would
otherwise need to be entered manually with potential for error.
Even if the network is familiar and/or you know all the parameters, the Scan function will verify that it
is actually available.
Once you successfully connect to the network through the Scan function, it is added to the history of
networks where it is available for the manual connection process (see Wi-Fi Setup > Connect on
page 3-7).
Setup - Scan (Wi-Fi Setup)
The Wi-Fi Scan requires no setup parameters. The process launches immediately following the menu
selection.
Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
