4.1.1. Wi-Fi access point settings

Specify the Wi-Fi access point as described in the owner’s manual of each device.
Although there is no need to make special settings, we recommend that you use security such as WPA in order to prevent unauthorized access to the network from outside.
Guidelines for settings are provided below.

  1. Specify the name of the Wi-Fi network.

  2. Specify the security mode (e.g., WPA2) and password.

  3. Select the wireless mode. (such as 802.11n or 802.11g)

  4. If possible, enable “Auto Channel Selection.”

The wireless channel with the least interference will be selected.
For the fastest communication between the iPad/iPhone and the Wi-Fi access point, we recommend that you select an 802.11n network. If you use multiple external antennas, it will be easier to connect to the Wi-Fi access point.
In addition, we recommend that you make stealth mode and MAC address filter settings to increase security.

4.1.2. Connecting to the target system

Use CAT5e cables to connect the target system with the Wi-Fi access point.
Include an Ethernet switch in the system if necessary.

■ Example of network settings for target devices

  1. Set the IP address of each device.
    For setup instructions, refer to the instruction manual of each device.
    In the following example, we assume that the IP address of the device is 192.168.0.1.
    If there are multiple target devices, make sure that the IP addresses of the devices do not overlap.

  2. Change the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.
    Set the Wi-Fi access point to the same network (subnet) as the device.
    Make sure that the IP address does not overlap with the IP addresses of the target devices.
    Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi access point and change the IP address from the web browser of your computer.
    For details on how to change the IP address, refer to the instruction manual of the Wi-Fi access point.

    The maximum number of ProVisionaire Kiosks that can be connected to a device varies depending on the device.
    Refer to the instruction manual of each device.

● Example network settings for the iPad

  1. In the home screen of the iPad, tap [Settings] → [Wi-Fi].

  2. Turn the [Wi-Fi] switch On ( on ), and from the access point list that appears, select the access point of the target system.

  3. Enter the password of the Wi-Fi access point.

  4. Make network settings.

●If obtaining the IP address automatically

  1. Tap info , and set [Configure IP] to [Automatic].

4 2

  1. Verify that “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” “Router,” and “DNS” are set.

  2. Click the home button to complete the settings.

●If specifying the IP address manually (when it cannot be obtained automatically)

  1. Tap info , and set [Configure IP] to [Manual].

4 3

  1. In “IP Address,” enter the IP address of the target system, changing only the fourth octet (in the illustration above, “200”).

  2. In “Subnet Mask,” enter “255.255.255.0.”

  3. In “Router,” enter the IP address of the router or the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

  4. In “DNS,” enter the IP address of the DNS or the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

  5. Click the home button to complete the settings.

● Tips for network settings

  1. The IP addresses of the devices you’re connecting must be set to the same subnetwork.

    *1 If the Wi-Fi access point does not have router functionality, specify the IP address for accessing the Wi-Fi access point device.

  1. Connect the target devices to a LAN port of the Wi-Fi access point.
    If you connect it to the Ethernet port (WAN port), it will be impossible to communicate correctly between the smart device and the target devices.

  2. Start ProVisionaire Kiosk.
    ProVisionaire Touch detects the target devices and connects automatically.

    When ProVisionaire Kiosk and the device are connected, the online indicator turns green.

  3. Connect the computer and all the target devices to the switch.

    The maximum number of ProVisionaire Kiosks that can be connected to a device varies depending on the device.
    Refer to the instruction manual of each device.
