7.2 Configuring the NL240 with DevConfig via Wi-Fi WLAN
The NL240 is configured by default to join the strongest, open Wi-
Fi network it finds. If there is no open network in the area or if the
NL240 has not been previously configured to join an existing Wi-
Fi network, it is not possible to configure the NL240 via Wi-Fi.
•
Apply power to the NL240.
•
The NL240 will power up and join the strongest, open Wi-Fi network it
finds or the Wi-Fi network it has already been configured to join. The
green LED on the NL240 will come on and start blinking once it has
joined the network. Once it has successfully obtained an IP address, it will
stop blinking and flicker with network activity.
