USB + Hotspot: All the devices with the access mode 'USB Only' & 'Hotspot User' (over WiFi) will be able to connect to
XYFI.
All devices with the access mode 'Guest User' will be blocked.
USB + Hotspot + Guests: All devices will be able to connect to XYFI.
However, the devices with the access mode 'Guest User' will in addition have to enter the 'Guest Password' if set by the
administrator, before being able to connect to the Internet.
2.3 Manage Users and your XYFI
In order to increase the security level for the XYFI, you can choose different access modes (settings can be set per device):
USB Only - Only possible if XYFI is inserted in a Windows PC/Mac and drivers are installed:
When drivers are installed it will automatically enter the 'USB Only' access mode and will be the only device with this status.
Important! If you uncheck the 'Personal Hotspot' check box (only possible when in 'USB Only' access mode) the WiFi access will
be turned off and no one will be able to connect via wireless to your XYFI.
Personal Hotspot: If this access mode is chosen (default when connected over WiFi), all the devices with the access mode 'USB
Only' & 'Hotspot User' (over WiFi) will be able to connect to XYFI.
All devices with the access mode 'Guest User' will be blocked.
Guest Mode: If this access mode is enabled, all devices connected will be able to connect to XYFI.
However, the devices with the access mode 'Guest User' will in addition have to enter the 'Guest Password' if set by the
administrator, before being able to connect to the Internet.
2.4 Connect a device to XYFI using WiFi Protected Setup
Automatically add WiFi devices to your XYFI using WPS - 'WiFi Protected Set-up'. Your
device needs to support WPS in order to use this feature.
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set-up and connections.
To use WPS, the device you wish to connect must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security (find out from your device
manual if it supports the WPS feature).
WPS enables you to use push buttons or a PIN code instead of entering a network name (SSID) and WiFi password by hand.
Options for adding a WPS device:
Push button: You can either physically press the (LED) button on XYFI for 3 seconds or press the 'OK' button (soft button) in the
administration pages. Then press the WPS button on the device you want to connect, and they will start pairing.
PIN (Personal Identification Number): The PIN to be entered is generated from the device you want to join up with the XYFI.
Enter this PIN and they will start pairing.
Note: You have 2 minutes to complete WPS pairing and only one device can connect during this time.
WPS is only possible (and visible) if 'Personal Hotspot' is enabled.

2.5 Active Users

Here you will see all the users that are currently connected to your XYFI.
In order to edit each device, click on the device name: the complete line becomes blue:
Device Name: You can change the device name so it is easy for you to see which user/device is connected (instead of the device
default name). The new name you choose will be remembered next time it makes a connection.
Access Mode: Here you can change the access mode between 'Hotspot User' and 'Guest User'.
Hotspot User: Typically, your own laptop and personal WiFi enabled devices (e.g. smartphone/tablet etc..) and a limited user
group that often connects to the XYFI.
Guest User: This access mode adds another layer of security for you as an owner of the XYFI. In addition to the Network Name
(SSID) & the WiFi Password (Pre-shared Key), the user also needs to know the 'Guest Password' which is set by you.
If a user/device is in the 'Guest User' access mode, he/she is sent to the XYFI home page to enter the password before being
allowed to use the Internet.
If you have enabled 'Guest Mode', new devices connecting to the XYFI will become 'Guest User'. If 'Guest Mode' is disabled, they will
enter the access mode 'Hotspot User'.
Remove/block devices: If you hover your mouse over a device name you will see two icons on the right. One is a trashbin and if
you click this, the device will be removed from the XYFI. If you click the other icon, this user/device will be blocked/unblocked from
the XYFI.
