However, on top of the various selection, there are select devices customizable to the client's specific requirements such as adding a Wi-Fi.

2. Use the navigation key to select your Wi-Fi. Press M key to set up the Wi-Fi.


3. Refer to the table below for the security settings supported by the device. These settings have been set up on the server. Thus, it is advisable to consult an IT person for details on these settings.

1. Connect your PC to the same Wi-Fi network that your device is connected to.


2. Use command prompt to ping device IP address. If the DHCP is set, go to Menu> Comm> Wi-Fi setup. You will see a new IP address for that, already assigned by DHCP. If it shows the IP address not available, please check your Settings.
