WIFI CONFIGURATION

In WLAN mode there are two layers of security available:
n
network authentication: the network password
n
device authentication: a unique device password
Using both network and device authentication allows for various security strategies where
multiple people, PCs and AiM devices are involved. For example a PC on a WLAN may see se-
veral AiM devices but can only communicate with AiM devices for which it has the password.
2) To join an existing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
This is more complex and requires an external AP but is more flexible and powerful. In this way
you can communicate with more than one PC on the same network.
In this configuration both your device and your PC have to join a pre-existing WiFi network,
called WLAN, in order to communicate with one another. The network is now created by a net-
work device, which is acting as an external AP by permitting the device connectivity.
