your Wireless LAN, Security and other settings
to work on the type of wireless network you
will be connecting to.

the Port Profile you require for use with your
application (e.g. RealPort for virtual COM port,
TCP Server, UDP server, Serial Bridge, etc.)
Configure the serial port settings for the
selected Port Profile (e.g. In TCP Sockets
select client or server, TCP port numbers, etc.)
Also configure baud rate, data bits, etc in
Basic Serial Settings.
Configure any required alarms and notification

port) do the next step (Set up VCOM)

The Link LED (yellow) will blink while looking for the
wireless network. When a connection is established with
the network the Link LED will illuminate steadily. The
ES1AWB will connect to the SSID Connect. If it cannot
find an SSID it will connect to the first unsecured network
it finds.
The ES1AWB will automatically try to obtain an IP
address though DHCP, or generate one itself.
