3.2.3 Configure the Wireless Access Point
Although the ILX34-AENWG can communicate with any 802.11b/g Access Point
radio, ProSoft Technology recommends the RadioLinx series Industrial
Broadband radios wherever performance and compatibility are required.
The following configuration steps are for the RLXIB-IHW. Use the examples in
these steps to configure your own Access Point to work with the ILX34-AENWG.
Configure the Master Radio (Required)
The following illustration shows an example configuration for a RadioLinx
Industrial Hotspot (Access Point) configured as a Master radio.
Note: The radio in this illustration is capable of transmitting at 5 GHz (802.11a) as well as 2.4 GHz
(802.11b/g). The radio in the ILX34-AENWG adapter supports only 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g).
In particular, note the following settings.
Network SSID: All radios on the network must use the same Network SSID
In this example, the Network SSID is "Point_IO".
Channel: All radios must use the same channel. In this example, the channel
is 8 (2447MHz).
Encryption: All radios must use the same encryption settings. In this
example, the encryption type is WPA/WPA2-AES.
Passphrase: All radios must use the same passphrase. For security reasons,
the passphrase field is replaced with asterisks. Make a note of the
passphrase before configuring additional radios.
Important: Take care to enter the passphrase on the ILX34-AENWG exactly as you entered it in
the Master radio.
