5.3.2 Setting Wi-Fi Communication Parameters in Device Configurator app

Wi-Fi-equipped instruments' parameters for communication must be set in Device Configurator app.
Wi-Fi
You can enable or disable Wi-Fi.
Mac Address
Select "Use Static IP Address" if you have a static IP or "Use DHCP" if your system allows dynamic
hosting configuration. Check with your system administrator to determine which is appropriate for your
network.
If you use a static IP address, you must provide the Static IP address, Gateway, and Subnet Mask. If
you are using DHCP, you do not have to provide these, because they will be filled in automatically.
Channels and Security
Check with your system administrator for the settings in this section.
Security Mode
Different types of wireless security guard your network against possible instances of unauthorized
access. Using security, you can:

Ensure that no one can easily connect to your wireless network without permission

Personalize access regarding who can configure your wireless settings

Protect all data that is transmitted through the wireless network
Check with your system administrator for the wireless security mode you should use.
Use the drop-down menu to select the type of security:
Then set your Security Key.
Warning! Using a network with security disabled is not recommended.
Security Key
Depending on the type of security you choose, your key will have to be a different number of
characters.
Configure strong authentication and encryption in your network. WPA2 Personal (also known as
WPA2-PSK) with AES encryption is highly recommended.
