Description
Define a unique name for the wireless profile.
Enter the Service set ID of the network you want to connect to or define the SSID of your
own network, when creating an ad hoc connection. Can be left blank when the Select
wireless network field below is used.
Press Find wireless network to start a search for available wireless networks. Then
select a network to connect to from the drop down list. The SSID field will be updated to
show the selected network.
Select the network type for the new profile.
Infrastructure: Connect the GR25 to a network with wireless access point.
Ad hoc: Create a direct wireless connection to one other device without an access point.
For Ad hoc connections please note that some devices can not
resolve the hostname when no DNS server is available. To make
sure that the web interface can be accessed use an Ad hoc
connection with a static IP address for the GR, e.g. the default Ad
hoc profile.
For more information on using the default Ad hoc profile see How
to use WLAN on the GR25
Select the method to be used for device authentication in the network to connect to or
define the authentication type for the new ad hoc connection.
Select the method for encryption used in the network to connect to or define the encryptio
type for the new ad hoc connection.
Enter the network encryption key if necessary. A key is always needed unless the
encryption type is set to "Disabled".
Handling encryption in ad hoc mode:
In case different network keys have been entered on the GR and a
Windows PC when using an ad-hoc connection, both sides will
falsely report that the connection has been established. However,
access to the web interface and data streaming will not be
possible. In this case, double-check the security settings and the
encryption key on both sides.
Description
Activate to obtain the IP address automatically using DHCP.
