4:Network Settings

The Network Settings show the status of the Software enabled Access Point (SoftAP) or WLAN interface/link and let you configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP traffic.

The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server contains two network interfaces. The Software enabled Access Point interface is also called interface 1 or ap0, and the WLAN interface is called interface 2 or wlan0.

Note: All network settings require a reboot to take effect. Wait a minimum of 20 seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make any subsequent connections.

Network 1 Interface (ap0) Configuration

Table 4-1shows the network interface settings that can be configured. These settings apply to the Software enabled Access Point (ap0) interface.

Network (ap0) Interface

Description

Settings

 

State

Click to enable or disable the SoftAP. If enabled, the DHCP server will assign IP

 

addresses to the SoftAP’s clients. A maximum of four clients can be connected

 

to the SoftAP interface if the STA interface is disabled. If the STA interface is

 

enabled a maximum of three clients may be connected.

 

Note: A DHCP lease lasts for a day. If the IP network is managed manually, a

 

static IP can be used outside the range of the DHCP address pool.

 

 

IP Address

Enter the static IP address to use for the interface. You may enter it in one of

 

the following ways:

 

Alone (i.e., 192.168.1.1)

 

In CIDR format (i.e., 192.168.1.1/24)

 

With an explicit mask (i.e., 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0)
