NOTE: An ad hoc network is a special type of decentralized network where devices form IP connectivity
directly with one another. No external routing devices are used and therefore the network does
not provide any direct access to any larger network. Further technical information on ad hoc
networks is beyond the scope of this document. For more information, visit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network.
This type of remote control allows access to nearly all test and management functions on the unit except
testing within the Wi-Fi menu (F2). To set it up:
1. Select System > Admin Port > Wi-Fi Admin Port > Ad-Hoc Remote Control to begin setting up
the unit as an ad hoc network source.
2. In the Connect Ad-Hoc setup screen, configure standard Wi-Fi parameters, noting the following:
• You are creating a network, not connecting to one. Therefore, you decide what the SSID and
Channel Number should be, along with any kind of security you want to add, if any. Later, when
you connect to the network with the VNC client device, you will have to account for whatever
parameters you established. Normally, the primary concern is to establish a network with
parameters that do not interfere with any other Wi-Fi networks in the area.
•On Page 3, you can specify a Flex IP Address which will be the address that the VNC client
device will use when sending traffic to the unit. Aside from this screen, the management of IP
addresses at both endpoints is transparent. Normally, the specific address is unimportant to
establishing connectivity and therefore the default address is adequate. However, be sure to note
the address that is specified, because you will need it when you initiate the VNC session on the
client device.
