Network Mode – This parameter allows the 190-WIFI module to be
configured as either an access point, or to connect to an existing
network.
In order to set the module to connect to an existing network,
change the "Network Mode" to "Client (Infrastructure)".
Available Access Points – Click the "Refresh List" button in order
to scan for available access points that the 190-WIFI module can
connect to. You can select an AP by clicking on its name in the list.
Access Point SSID – Enter the SSID of the access point you wish
to connect to here. If no access point exists with the SSID that is
entered, then the 190-WIFI module will attempt to start an access
point with the entered SSID.
Security Mode – When the "Network Mode" is set to "Client
(Infrastructure)" mode, this sets the security type that the module
will use to attempt to connect to the existing network. This will be
beneficial when attempting to connect to certain secured networks
that the older firmware was having issues in properly detecting the
security type.
Use DHCP (recommended) – When "Client (Infrastructure)" mode
is active, the "Use DHCP" will cause the module to try and obtain
an IP address automatically when it connects to an existing
network.
NOTE: Having this box checked may make the module difficult to
locate on an existing network unless the existing network has been
configured to always assign the same IP address to the WIFI
module.
When set to connect to an existing network, it is recommended to
use static IP addressing in order to make connecting to the module
easier.
