WIFI CONNECTION
To unleash the full power of the GX4, it is recommended to connect it to the internet
via the built-in wireless network transceiver. This connection allows easy firmware
upgrades and the unit hosts a website available to devices on that network. Use the
website to stream real-time gas levels, search through logs or print reports.
The GX4 can operate in two wireless modes. To select a mode in the Menu go to
Network and then Mode. Use the arrow keys to switch between modes and press OK
to select a mode. The unit will restart and resume operation in this network mode.
