Configuration of the Wi-Fi-Interface

This article includes the following:

Step 1: Configure the USB-Port

Step 2: Configure Wi-Fi Dongle

For this configuration step, open the following menus:

Step 1: Configure the USB-Port

• Click Devices>Setup
• At USB, select the option Wi-Fi
• Click Appliy to continue
• Instert the W-Fi Dongle into the USB port

The CS141 automatically accept the Wi-Fi Dongle as valid devices and initialize the Dongle.

Step 2: Configure Wi-Fi Dongle

After initializing, the Wi-Fi interface is available at System>Network>Wi-Fi

IP Configuration
To access a Wi-Fi networg, the Wi-Fi interface needs a valid IP address. This is usually provided by the infrastructure (e.g. a WLAN router or via Wi-Fi access point.

Network Name
The network name is the exact SSID that the CS141 should connect to. Technically, the access point can vary aslon as the network name is provided. As soon as the entered SSID changes, the CS141 will not use that network ID to connect to.

Password / Securiy
The password stored on the WLAN access point for this SSID - this is not a username. Also select your preferred encryption method. 

The CS141 then tries to establish a connection. If this is successful, under “Active” you will see the signal strength and the MAC address of the Wi-Fi dongle next to the currently assigned IP address.

Note: 

Settings are saved permanently until you set the USB port to “none”. The CS141 remembers the settings. If you now remove the Wi-Fi dongle from the USB port, it will automatically reconnect to that exact SSID and password the next time you insert the USB dongle, provided the Wi-Fi hotspot was activated and ready BEFORE inserting the dongle.
