The WiFi IP settings configure how the IP address of a Wi-Fi-enabled Digi device is obtained. It has the same settings
as the Ethernet IP settings page.
WiFi LAN settings
Digi devices with Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) capability contain a wireless network interface that you may find useful to
communicate to wireless networks using 802.11b8 technology. Contact your administrator or consult wireless access
point documentation for the settings required to setup the wireless LAN configuration. Different devices and
firmware settings may not support all of the settings and options listed below. Settings include:
•
Network name: The name of the wireless network to which the wireless device should connect. In situations with
multiple wireless networks, this setting allows the device to connect to and associate with a specific network. The
network name is the SSID (service set identifier). If the network name remains blank, the device will search for
wireless networks and connect to the first available network. This is useful when you do not need use a specific
network name as the device will select the first available network.
•
Connection method: The type of connection method this device uses to communicate on wireless networks.
Choose from:
Connect to any available wireless network: Use this setting to allow the device to access any network. The

device can either access point networks or peer-to-peer wireless networks.
Connect to access point (infrastructure) networks only: Use this setting if the wireless network that this

device needs to connect to is composed of wireless access points. This is typically the most popular method
for connecting to wireless networks.
Connect to peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) networks only: Use this setting if all devices on the wireless network

connect to and communicate with each other. This is known as peer-to-peer in that there is no central server
or access point. Each system communicates directly with each other system.
•
Country: The country where this wireless device resides. The channel settings are restricted to the legal set for the
selected country.
