Others: Such as Car Stereo, Playstation, Wii etc. (with USB connection)...Please make sure that it offers min. 5V/1
Amp output power.
Note: You should only use the original USB Power Adapter/Cigarette Lighter Adapter and USB Battery Pack as
replacement power sources may damage your iCON XYfi and make it less reliable. Option NV is not responsible for
damage caused by using non-Option NV products.
1.3 Connect to Internet
Index
iCON XYfi comes with pre-defined settings that makes it very easy for you to connect to the Internet:
1) Your iCON XYfi is pre-configured with WPA2 encryption to protect unauthorised access. The unique Network Name
(SSID) and WiFi Password (Pre-shared key) are printed on the manufacturing label underneath the bottom cover.
2) When your iCON XYfi is switched on, find the Network Name (SSID) in your list of available networks and click
Connect.
3) You will be asked to fill in the WiFi password, and when this is done, you are connected to the Internet.
If your PIN code is not disabled, or if it is not a known APN address, you will be guided to the settings pages to make
the changes before being able to connect to the Internet.
International roaming is disabled by default, and if you use the iCON XYfi for the first time in this situation, you need
to enable roaming within the settings pages.

To help you position the iCON XYfi for best reception of the Mobile Network signal, we have included a signal strength
monitor mode on the front page.
The signal strengths indicators move up as the strength of the signal increases and down as the signal decreases
(only shown if you are registered to a network).
To increase the signal strength of your iCON XYfi , try moving it slightly, or move towards a window if you are
connecting from inside a building.
If you continuously experience low signal strength in a certain area, it may be that network coverage is insufficient
there. Your operator or service provider can provide you with more information on network coverage.
If you believe that the problem may be with your iCON XYfi rather than the network, please contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the appliance, who will arrange for it to be returned for inspection.

by the administrator, before being able to connect to the Interne
2.3 Connect a device to iCON XYfi using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Index
Automatically add WiFi devices to your iCON XYfi using WPS - 'WiFi Protected Set-up'.
Your device needs to support WPS in order to use this feature.
Introduction to WPS
2.3.1 Introduction to WPS
Index
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set-up and connections.
To use WPS, the device you wish to connect must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security (find out from
your device manual if it supports the WPS feature). WPS can automatically set up a random Network Name (SSID)
and strong WPA wireless security for computers, smartphones, tablets and other consumer electronics devices.
WPS enables you to use push buttons or a PIN code instead of entering a network name (SSID) and WiFi password by
hand.
Options for adding a WPS device:
Push button: You can either physically press the (LED) button on iCON XYfi for 3 seconds or press the 'OK' button
(soft button) in the administration pages. Then press the WPS button on the device you want to connect, and they
will start pairing.
PIN (Personal Identification Number): The PIN to be entered is generated from the device you want to join up
with the iCON XYfi. Enter this PIN and they will start pairing.
Note: You have 2 minutes to complete WPS pairing and only one device can connect during this time

Guest Users: If this access mode is chosen, all devices connected to iCON XYfi will be able to connect to internet.
However, the devices with the access mode 'Guest Users' will in addition have to enter the 'Guest Password' if set
by the administrator, before being able to connect to the Interne
2.4.2 Default Access Mode
Index
You have two possible settings for default access modes when a new device is connecting to your iCON XYfi for the
very first time:
WiFi Users: Typically, your own laptop and personal WiFi enabled devices (e.g. smartphone/tablet etc.) and a
limited user group that often connects to the iCON XYfi.
Guest Users: This access mode adds another layer of security for you as an owner of the iCON XYfi. In addition to
the Network Name (SSID) & the WiFi Password (Pre-shared Key), the user also needs to know the 'Guest
Password' which is set by you. If a user/device is in the 'Guest Users' access mode, he/she is sent to the iCON XYfi
home page to enter the password before being allowed to use the Internet.
You can always change the access mode per user/device at a later stage within the 'Users & Devices' section.
2.4.3 Guest Password
Index
If you set a 'Guest Password' then users must visit the iCON XYfi home page first to enter the password before
being allowed to use the Internet.
Note: 'Guest Password' is case sensitive.
This feature has been implemented so that you can always enable secure WiFi (WPA2) for your users and yet it still
gives you control over who can or cannot access the Internet.
You might want to use this feature for example when more than eight users know your WiFi security code, but you
need to limit access to a selected few of them.
2.4.4 Active Users
Index
Here you will see all the users that are currently connected to your iCON XYfi.
In order to edit each device, click on the device name: the complete line becomes blue:
Device Name: You can change the device name so it is easy for you to see which user/device is connected
(instead of the device default name). The new name you choose will be remembered next time it makes a
connection.
Access Mode: Here you can change the access mode between 'WiFi Users' and 'Guest Users'.
WiFi Users: Typically, your own laptop and personal WiFi enabled devices (e.g. smartphone/tablet etc..) and a
limited user group that often connects to the iCON XYfi.
Guest Users: This access mode adds another layer of security for you as an owner of the iCON XYfi. In addition to
the Network Name (SSID) & the WiFi Password (Pre-shared Key), the user also needs to know the 'Guest
Password' which is set by you. If a user/device is in the 'Guest Users' access mode, he/she is sent to the iCON XYfi
home page to enter the password before being allowed to use the Internet.
If you want to change the Default access mode for new devices connecting to the iCON XYfi it can be done at any
time to either 'WiFi Users' or 'Guest Users' in the above section.
Remove/block devices: If you hover your mouse over a device name you will see two icons on the right. One is
a trashbin and if you click this, the device will be removed from the iCON XYfi. If you click the other icon, this
user/device will be blocked/unblocked from the iCON XYfi

The iCON XYfi is your Personal HotSpot. Normally its settings 'out of the box' are just fine but on these pages you can
adjust various things to make it yours, tweak its performance and security.
WiFi Settings
Advanced Settings
3.1.1 WiFi Settings
Index
iCON XYfi let's you change the WiFi settings the way you want.
In order for your changes to take place, you need to click the 'Save Changes' button.
Changes here will disconnect all active users and they will need to reconnect.
Network Name (SSID)
The Network Name (SSID) is the name that you will see when your WiFi client lists networks. The name can be up
to 32 characters long.
Broadcast Network (SSID)
Broadcast your Network Name (SSID): If you set the broadcast to 'Yes', then other devices can detect and
connect to your WLAN.
Choose 'No' to disable broadcasting and hide the name of your network. This provides a higher security, as other
devices have to know the Network Name (SSID) to connect. You can install the WLAN with this feature enabled
and then disable it once you have set up iCON XYfi and its associated wireless clients.
WiFi Password
We strongly recommend you to use WiFi password (WPA2) if it is available for your WiFi clients.
WiFi password (data encryption) possibilities:
No (no encryption): This option is not recommended except during installation of your network.
Yes: Connecting users can only join your iCON XYfi using this password. Data encryption used is WPA2 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access).
Create your password for your connections. Both letters and numbers can be used.
The password must contain at least 8 characters (max. 63 characters).
WiFi Channel
The iCON XYfi has 2 options for WiFi channel selection:
Auto - this means that the first time it is powered on, it will automatically select the WiFi channel that has the
least amount of interference.
Manually - it can happen that surrounding networks are added and the initial WiFi channel may become
crowded. Use the drop-down list and select a new channel.
Note: WiFi channels 1, 6 or 11 are usually the best selections.
3.1.2 Advanced Settings
Index
Within this section you can enable/disable WPS setup and add Port forwarding.
Please make sure you understand what you are doing before adjusting these settings.
Port forwarding
Port forwarding allows remote computers, for example, computers on the Internet, to connect to a specific
computer or service within a private local area network (LAN).
Common reasons to use port forwarding are for online gaming, internet applications, remote access to IP
cameras, FTP and WEB servers etc.
You can add up to 10 port forwarding rules.
Name
Please insert a name (up to 15 characters) for your Port Forwarding…ex: MyCamera
(Only use the English letters a-z, A-Z and numbers 0-9)
Protocol
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - The way it works is the computer sending the data connects
directly to the computer it is sending the data to, and stays connected for the duration of the transfer. The
two computers can guarantee that the data has arrived safely and correctly, and then they end the
connection.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - The way it works is the computer sending the data packs the
information into a nice little package and releases it into the network with the hopes that it will get to the
right place. What this means is that UDP does not connect directly to the receiving computer like TCP does.
Rather it sends the data out and relies on the devices in between the sending computer and the receiving
computer to get the data where it is. This method of transmission does not provide any guarantee that the
data you send will ever reach its destination.
TCP & UDP - Sometimes both protocols are needed to make a connection and this should be chosen.
External Port
Enter the external port number you want to be used by iCON XYfi.
You can also specify a range of ports. For example: 1-80 (maximum number of ports = 65535). If you use a
range, it should be the same range used for the internal port.
Internal IP Address
Enter the IP address of the device that should receive the requests.
Internal Port
Enter the internal port number you want to be used by the computer or Internet application.
You can also specify a range of ports. For example: 1-80 (maximum number of ports = 65535). If you use a
range, it should be the same range used in the external port

In some cases you would like to change the settings for your local network and this can be done here. Please make
sure you understand what your are doing before saving any changes.
Admin URL (Hostname)
This is a 'Nickname' for your IP address. Instead of typing in the complete IP address in a Web-browser address
bar (to access admin pages), you only need to type a URL (not case-sensitive). The default URL is XYfi.
Admin IP Address
Acronym for ‘Internet Protocol’ address. This is the address to access the admin pages of the iCON XYfi. Type the
IP address in a Web-browser address bar and the admin log in pages will appear. The default IP address is
172.22.2.1.
IP is the protocol within TCP/IP (Internet protocol Suite) that is used to send data between computers over the
Internet. An IP address is an assigned number used to identify a computer that is connected to a network through
TCP/IP. An IP address consists of four numbers (each of which can be no greater than 255) separated by periods,
such as 172.22.2.1.
Subnet Mask
A mask used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs.
Typically, a subnet may represent all the machines at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same
local area network (LAN). Having an organization’s network divided into sub-nets allows it to be connected to the
Internet with a single shared network address. Similar in form to an IP address and typically provided by an ISP.
An example of a subnet mask value is 255.255.0.0.
DHCP Range start
Allows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address. DHCP Range Start
assigns unique IP addresses to devices using your start number.
DHCP Range end
Allows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address. DHCP Range End is
the last unique IP addresses it will create.
DHCP Lease time
Each device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to the
network. When the lease expires, the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. If
it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IP
addresses that are not in use will become available for other computers on the network.
3 options for entering a value - s (seconds), m (minutes) or h (hours). When inserting the value please enter s, m
or h behind the value…Examples 8s , 15m and 24h
