Interface Configuration

• Enable this network interface: Enables or disables the wireless network interface.

• Wireless Wizard: The Wireless Wizard link launches a wizard that provides a Wi-Fi XBee Gateway device the wireless parameters needed to configure wireless settings and operation. The wizard provides a place to copy in the information required for to the connect to your local Wi-Fi network. In this instance, XBee Gateway is a Wi-Fi “client” connecting to an existing access point. Obtain the wireless network information that XBee Gateway will use from the network administrator and enter this information in the wizard.

  You need to rerun the Wireless Wizard each time you want to connect to a new wireless network.

  To complete the wizard:

  1. Check with your network administrator on the Wi-Fi security mode and associated parameters for your network, including any passphrase or key used to connect to your Wi-Fi access point.
  2. On the page Step 1/Network SSID, select or type the name (case-sensitive) of the Wi-Fi network access point XBee Gateway will use to connect to the internet.
  3. On the page Step 2/Select Security Mode and associated parameters: Select the security mode used for the Wi-Fi network connection, for example, Open (no user name / password / shared key) or WPA/WPA2 Personal (a shared key required).

  4. Depending on the network security mode, you will be prompted to type additional parameters, such as the passphrase or key (case-sensitive) used to connect to your access point.

     Messages appear while processing the parameters and when the wizard completes.

  For security reasons, the wireless configuration resulting from running this wizard cannot be viewed, only modified by re-running the wizard.
