Enabling 802.11b/g control turns on the internal 802.11 radio. Parameters 53.2 through
53.5 must be set correctly to configure Ki Pro so it can be controlled. Ki Pro wireless
control also requires the presence of wireless access point on the local LAN that it can
communicate with.

NOTE:

Although Ki Pro has an internal 802.11 transceiver, it is not a wireless access point. Wireless
browser clients talk to Ki Pro via an external wireless access point (such an Airport Extreme
base station). Also, turning on the 802.11 radio consumes additional power; it should be
disabled unless needed in order to save battery life.

Controlling Ki Pro from a browser (wired or wireless) is described in Chapter 4, Remote
Web Control. As an overview, to wirelessly connect Ki Pro, you must:

• Enable the radio (53.1)

• Define the security between Ki Pro and wireless browser clients via parameter 53.3

• Setup the correct password required for wireless browser clients via parameter 53.4

• Choose the wireless access point that will connect Ki Pro to the LAN and to wireless

browser clients (54.1 through 54.3). The access point will have a 802.11b/g network
name defined.

53.2 802.11 NETWORK

This parameter defines the wireless network or “SSID” that Ki Pro will connect to via the
access point.

53.3 802.11 SECURITY

This parameter defines the type of security (encryption/format) used between Ki Pro, the
access point and wireless browser clients—if any.

Caution!

The 802.11b/g radio is disabled by default and can be enabled only in the presence of
an authorized access point.
