Local Network Settings - Coast to Coast Winegard ConnecT 2.0 Operation Manual

LOCAL NETWORK SETTINGS

It is recommended that you change the network name of
your Winegard ConnecT. This will improve the security of
your network and make it easier to find with your WiFi
enabled devices.
Change Network Password
To secure your network, it is suggested that you change the
network password to something you can remember. The new
password must be at least eight characters long. You will
need to log in using the new user name and password.
Security Type
The Winegard ConnecT Security Type has been defaulted
to WPA2-PSK (AES). Other options are available on this
screen.
Guest Network
The Winegard ConnecT 2.0 provides a simple way to set up an
extra network that doesn't have access to the Status Screen. This
allows you to provide guests with an easy login process to use when
accessing your network while you still maintain a secure system.
To set up a Guest Network:
1) Click on ENABLE. See figure 9.
2) Give the guest network an easily recognizable name. See figure 8.
3) Enter a password. If you use a simple password, it is recommended
that the guest network be disabled when not in use. See figure 8.
NOTE:
Any changes made to your network settings will result in a loss of all
network connections. You will need to reconnect all devices to the Winegard
ConnecT 2.0 with the changed network name and/or password.
Change Administration Password
It is not necessary to change the administration password, however,
to change the password click on CHANGE PASSWORD to bring up
the new password screen. See figure 10. Enter the new password
into the area for both PASSWORD and RE-ENTER PASSWORD. The
password in each of these boxes must match.
NOTE: Do not use the existing WiFi password for the ADMINISTRATION PASSWORD.
Change Network Address
WARNING: DO NOT CHANGE THE NETWORK ADDRESS UNLESS
INSTRUCTED BY WINEGARD TECH SUPPORT. DOING SO MAY CAUSE
YOUR SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
Restart System
Press the restart button only if needing to reboot the Winegard
ConnecT system.
