Changing Wi-Fi Access Point Settings
The Wireless Area Controller may be used as an access point for the mobile application communications. By default, the wireless access
point is enabled and uses the unit's MAC ID plus one for its SSID. The Wi-Fi access point settings screen within the network page allows
customization of these settings.
SSID: The SSID may be changed from the default by typing in the new desired SSID in the field provided.
•
Enabled/Disabled/On Demand: If the Wireless Area Controller is placed on the building LAN for administration and access, the internal
•
wireless access point may be disabled. Alternately, the access point may be set for on-demand mode, allowing the access point to be
temporarily enabled for 30 minutes upon reboot, or when manually triggered from the activate AP button on the webpage.
Network Key: The network key (password) may be updated from the default to be a unique and more complex password to enhance
•
access point security.
Hidden/Visible: The SSID may be hidden. If the SSID is hidden, it will not be shown in the available list of wireless networks. Users will
•
need to know the SSID to manually connect to the access point. If connecting manually, the wireless access point defaults to using WPA2
security by default.
If any setting is changed, select the update button. It will be necessary to reboot the WAC before the changes take effect. Select the option
to reboot located at the top of the webpage.
