WTG QuickStart Guide

Setup over WiFi
By default, the WTG has its Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) enabled and station mode (client mode) is
disabled.
Very Important Note: on each power cycle of the unit, the Default Access Point settings (see
below) will be temporary re-enabled for 5 minutes, regardless of the current configured WiFi
settings. Only after 5 minutes the user configured settings will take effect (which can be another
Access Point with custom settings or the wireless Station/Client mode to connect to another network).
Default Access Point settings
The default access point’s SSID name is WTG[3 last bytes of MAC address in hex].
For example if your unit’s MAC ID is 00:0B:DC:01:47:A4 then the default SSID of this unit will be:
WTG0147A4
The WiFi password of this default Access Point will depend on the following:
A) Any WTG unit after any number of power cycles, configured or unconfigured (for the first 5
minutes only, as described above):
The default WiFi password is "publicpublic" (without quotes). Because of this, when the unit is
put to production usage it is recommended to enable password checking for WebUI user
accounts, to prevent someone unauthorized from accessing the WTG.
B) Fresh out-of-the box unconfigured unit without any modifications:
5 minutes after bootup, the default WiFi settings will use a password as the unit’s MAC
address in all-capitals hexadecimal without the : or - characters.
For example if your unit’s MAC ID is 00:0B:DC:01:47:A4 then the default WiFi password of this
unit will be: 000BDC0147A4
The unit’s default IP address when connected over WiFi is 192.168.250.100
The DHCP and DNS servers are enabled for connecting WiFi clients, such as phone or tablet.
The unit could be also accessed via hostname akcp.local if your device supports it.
