Module network light
The network LED on modules such as NEP-2, SonarHub, WIFI-1, and
RI10, can be useful for determining if the network is communicating.
No light indicates no connection. A rapidly blinking green LED
means the network module is communicating with another device.

Wifi setup

The HDS Gen3 can be veiwed and controlled via an Android or
Apple tablet, using the internal wireless AP (or a WIFI-1 module)
and the GoFree application. The GoFree application should be
downloaded from Google Play, or Apple Store. Various 3rd party
applications can also use the data stream.
Connecting the tablet
Navigate to the wifi network connection page on the tablet, and
fi nd the 'HDS-x Gen3 xxxx' , or 'GoFree Wifi xxxx' network. If more
than one is in range, check the 'Wireless Devices' page on the HDS
Gen3 to confi rm which wireless device is connected to the display.
Select a device on this page to show it's network key. Enter the eight
character (or longer) 'Network Key' in to the tablet to connect to
the network. Open the GoFree application - the HDS Gen3 should
be automatically detected. The name displayed will be either the
default, or that assigned in the Device Name setting. If the HDS
Gen3 does not appear, follow on screen instructions to manually
'fi nd' the device. The screen shot below shows an automatically
detected HDS on the GoFree screen on Ipad.
The HDS Gen3 to which connection is attempted will raise a
prompt.
Select 'Yes' for one-time connection, or 'Always' if device is to be
remembered for regular connection. This setting can be changed
later if required.
