EXTERNAL NETWORK
If you already have a working wifi
network and you want NMEA4WIFI to join that network as a Client
Station, you should check the box CONNECT. You enter here the
authentication parameters that NEMA2WIFI should use to join this
external network. Ssid and Password can have a maximum of 15
characters and a minimum of 4 and 8 characters, respectively. The
IP address of the multiplexer on this external network can be
assigned by DHCP or it can be a static one. In order for the
multiplexer to obtain an automatic IP from the network/router you
enter 0 in the IP Address text box (this is the default). In order
to force a static IP you need to specify it, exactly, on the IP
Address text box. Make sure that you enter an unused IP belonging
to the DHCP pool of the existing network or router. If you enter 0
and you want to know the IP Address that the multiplexer gets from
a DHCP router, you can use a browser to see this IP Address shown
at the end of the explaining text referring to the External
Network.
