WiFi connections

Use the Profile Manager and testing profiles in the previous section to configure your
network.

test location. See
Depending on the network, you may also need to specify the following settings:
SSID – The SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the WiFi network.
Password – The password required to authenticate to the network. A password is not
required if Key Management is set to None.
If you don't know your network passoword and your WiFi gateway has a WPS security
button, you can press it and then select Use WPS in OneCheck WiFi instead of entering
the password.
Interface Mode – Depending on the Interface Mode, you have one or more additional
settings to specify. For details, see those areas earlier in this section.

About Access Points

If an access point does not broadcast its Service Set Identifier (SSID), you can manually
create a profile for a WiFi network. Your instrument will save the profile, then
automatically authenticate and establish a connection to the network if 1) network
connectivity is enabled, 2) the network's access point is in range, and 3) the network is
determined to provide the best available access point (based on signal strength and/or
encryption supported).
The instrument can save up to 32 WiFi network profiles.
NOTE:
Your instrument will automatically save your WiFi network
password for 24 hours after successfully connecting to a
new WiFi network.
