3 Phase Power Quality Logger
Terms to Know
Definitions of terms used in this document:
WLAN A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a wireless
distribution method for two or more devices that use
high-frequency radio waves and often include an
access point to the Internet. A WLAN allows you
maintain a network connection as you move around
the coverage area, often a home or small office.
WiFi Hotspot With the built in USB WiFi Adapter, the Logger is a
WiFi hotspot for:
•
wireless control of the Logger
•
download of measurement data
The WiFi direct connection uses WPA2-PSK (pre-
shared key) with AES encryption.
WiFi Infrastructure WiFi Infrastructure mode is how you connect your
devices using a wireless access point as a central
device. To join the WLAN, all wireless clients must be
configured to use the SSID of the access point. The
access point is then connected with the wired
network to allow wireless clients access to, for
example, Internet connections.
With a second WiFi-to-USB adapter the Logger can
connect to a WiFi access point and supports
WPA2 PSK security as well as no security. This
connection requires a DHCP service running in the
access point to assign IP addresses automatically.
