In addition tothe Network Name (SSID) & the WiFi Password (Pre-shared Key), the user also needs to know the 'GuestPassword' which is set by you. If a user/device is in the 'Guest Users' access mode, he/she is sent to the iCON XYfihome 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 PasswordIf you set a 'Guest Password' then users must visit the iCON XYfi home page first to enter the password beforebeing 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 stillgives 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 youneed to limit access to a selected few of them.2.4.4 Active UsersHere 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 aconnection.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 alimited 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 tothe Network Name (SSID) & the WiFi Password (Pre-shared Key), the user also needs to know the 'GuestPassword' which is set by you. If a user/device is in the 'Guest Users' access mode, he/she is sent to the iCON XYfihome 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 anytime 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 isa trashbin and if you click this, the device will be removed from the iCON XYfi. If you click the other icon, thisuser/device will be blocked/unblocked from the iCON XYfi3. SettingsManage SecurityMobile NetworksWiFi NetworksUsers and DevicesAbout iCON XYfi…3.1 Manage SecurityThe iCON XYfi is your Personal HotSpot. Normally its settings 'out of the box' are just fine but on these pages you canadjust various things to make it yours, tweak its performance and security.WiFi SettingsAdvanced SettingsIndex Index Index Back To Top Index
3.1.1 WiFi SettingsiCON 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 upto 32 characters long.Broadcast Network (SSID)Broadcast your Network Name (SSID): If you set the broadcast to 'Yes', then other devices can detect andconnect to your WLAN.Choose 'No' to disable broadcasting and hide the name of your network. This provides a higher security, as otherdevices have to know the Network Name (SSID) to connect. You can install the WLAN with this feature enabledand then disable it once you have set up iCON XYfi and its associated wireless clients.WiFi PasswordWe 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-FiProtected 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 ChannelThe 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 theleast amount of interference.Manually - it can happen that surrounding networks are added and the initial WiFi channel may becomecrowded. 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 SettingsWithin 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 forwardingPort forwarding allows remote computers, for example, computers on the Internet, to connect to a specificcomputer or service within a private local area network (LAN).Common reasons to use port forwarding are for online gaming, internet applications, remote access to IPcameras, FTP and WEB servers etc.You can add up to 10 port forwarding rules.NamePlease 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)ProtocolTCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - The way it works is the computer sending the data connectsdirectly to the computer it is sending the data to, and stays connected for the duration of the transfer. Thetwo computers can guarantee that the data has arrived safely and correctly, and then they end theconnection.UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - The way it works is the computer sending the data packs theinformation into a nice little package and releases it into the network with the hopes that it will get to theright 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 receivingcomputer to get the data where it is. This method of transmission does not provide any guarantee that thedata you send will ever reach its destination. Index Index
TCP & UDP - Sometimes both protocols are needed to make a connection and this should be chosen.External PortEnter 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 arange, it should be the same range used for the internal port.Internal IP AddressEnter the IP address of the device that should receive the requests.Internal PortEnter 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 arange, it should be the same range used in the external port3.2You can connect iCON XYfi to a WiFi Network using one of the below methods. Known networks will be joinedautomatically:Scanning: This is the default method with a list over all available WiFi networks in range.Manual: To be selected if you want to connect to a WiFi network with a hidden Network Name (SSID).WPS: (WiFi Protected Setup): Automatically connect iCON XYfi to a WiFi Network, using WPS - 'WiFi ProtectedSetup'. The WiFi Network need to support WPS in order to use this feature.WiFi is always preferred over Mobile Network (3G/EDGE/GPRS). If you want to force Mobile data, you have to turn offWiFi or Disconnect whatever networks are in range.Scanning for WiFi NetworksManual ConnectionWPS Connection3.2.1 Scanning for WiFi NetworksThis show you a list over available networks in your range.1. WiFi Status: 3 Options:a) Green Button - If the button is green 'You're Connected', it means you are currently connected to this network(you can of course only be connected to one network at the time).b) Blue Button - If the button is blue 'Click to Connect', it means this network is in range and you can connect byclicking this button. c) Grey - If the button is grey 'Not in Range', it means you have previously connected to this network. It iscurrently not possible for you to connect to this network as it is out of range.2. Signal Strength: Shows you the signal strength of the WiFi Network. The more bars the stronger the signal.3. Network Name: The name of the WiFi Network.4. Edit Network: This tool will only appear after you have connected to a WiFi network once. Here you can editthe Network Name, Security and Password if this has been changed. You can also 'Forget this Network', whichmeans iCON XYfi will automatically stop to join this network. It will reset the settings for this WiFi network,including the password.5. Remembered Network: After you have connected to a network it will remember your credentials and a starwill appear next to the network name. Next time you will connect to this WiFi network, you will not be prompted forpassword. You can remove this star (Forget this Network) by 'Edit Network'.6. Padlock: Some WiFi networks require a password to join. Password-protected WiFi networks are indicated bythe padlock. If the padlock is unlocked, the WiFi network is unsecured.3.2.2 Manual ConnectionManual Connection3.2.3 WPS ConnectionWiFi 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 to must support WPS and be compatible with WPA security (find out fromyour device manual if it supports the WPS feature).

This means that the iCON XYfi determines your networkprovider independently and uses the associated network.Manual - if you activate the manual option, the iCON XYfi shows you a list of the currently available networks. Youcan then decide which network you want to use or ignore by clicking on the box next to the respective provider.The list of available networks can be updated at any time by clicking on the 'Scan' button.Note: If you select an external network that does not belong to your provider, additional costs may be incurred.Please ask your provider which mobile networks you can use.3.3.2 Mobile Network SettingsThe iCON XYfi is usually configured from the factory with the correct settings of your Mobile Networ Provider foraccessing the internet over 3G.If you change your SIM provider or if the default settings do not apply to your SIM, then this is where you can editthe APN, username and password.APNIn order for iCON XYfi to be able to connect to Mobile networks, it needs to have the correct APN (Access PointName) that corresponds to the SIM provider. Normally the iCON XYfi will automatically insert the APN (+Username & Password) for you, if it is a known APN address.To verify the proper APN information that needs to be filled in, please contact your SIM provider.APN Username and PasswordLeave Emtpy if APN address does not require username and password.Username: To be filled in if your APN is associated with a 'Username' (defined by your SIM provider).Password: To be filled in if your APN is associated with a 'Password' (defined by your SIM provider)Network TypeChoose 2G or 3G as network typeDepending on the version, mobile networks support different transmission technologies. You can define yourpreferred transmission technologies using the 'Network Selection' option. The following facilities are available:Automatic: iCON XYfi independently determines the fastest transmission method and adapts the settingsaccordingly.3G only: iCON XYfi always uses 3G fast access via HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) or UMTS (UniversalMobile Telecommunications System). However, these are not available everywhere. If this setting has beenactivated, no connections will be made via 2G!2G only: iCON XYfi will always use EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) or GPRS (General PacketRadio Service) Internet connections. This is slower than 3G, but are available almost everywhere. If this settingis activated, no connections will be made via 3G!Index Index Index

Instead of typing in the complete IP address in a Web-browser addressbar (to access admin pages), you only need to type a URL (not case-sensitive). The default URL is XYfi.Admin IP AddressAcronym for ‘Internet Protocol’ address. This is the address to access the admin pages of the iCON XYfi. Type theIP address in a Web-browser address bar and the admin log in pages will appear. The default IP address is172.22.2.1.Index Index Index Index Index
IP is the protocol within TCP/IP (Internet protocol Suite) that is used to send data between computers over theInternet. An IP address is an assigned number used to identify a computer that is connected to a network throughTCP/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 MaskA 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 samelocal area network (LAN). Having an organization’s network divided into sub-nets allows it to be connected to theInternet 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 startAllows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address. DHCP Range Startassigns unique IP addresses to devices using your start number.DHCP Range endAllows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address. DHCP Range End isthe last unique IP addresses it will create.DHCP Lease timeEach device will be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server for this amount of time, when it connects to thenetwork. When the lease expires, the server will determine if the computer has disconnected from the network. Ifit has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly-connected computer. This feature ensures that IPaddresses 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, mor h behind the value…Examples 8s , 15m and 24h3.5.3 Network ConnectionsHere you can view the current status of your network connection.
