4: Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Software enabled Access Point (SoftAP) or WLAN
interface/link and let you configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the
configuration of the IP and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link
connection, which carries the IP traffic.
The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server contains two network interfaces. The Software enabled
Access Point interface is also called interface 1 or ap0, and the WLAN interface is called interface
2 or wlan0.
Note: All network settings require a reboot to take effect. Wait a minimum of 10-20
seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make any subsequent connections.

WLAN Profiles
A WLAN profile defines all of the settings necessary to establish a wireless connection with an
access point (in infrastructure mode). A maximum of four profiles can exist on the xPico Wi-Fi at a
time and only one profile may be active at any given time.
xPico Wi-Fi supports dynamic profiles. Dynamic Profiles are the ones created via QuickConnect.
WLAN Profile WEP Settings
WEP is a simple and efficient security mode encrypting the data via the RC4 algorithm. However,
WEP has become more vulnerable due to advances in hacking technology. State of the art
equipment can find WEP keys in five minutes. For stronger security, please use WPA, or better,
WPA2 with AES (CCMP).
WLAN Profile WPA and WPA2 Settings
WPA is a security standard specified by the WiFi Alliance and is a close derivative of an early draft
of the IEEE802.11i specification. WEP was becoming vulnerable when finalizing the IEEE802.11i
standard was still far away. WPA2 is WiFi’s subset of the broad IEEE802.11i standard to enforce
better interoperability. The xPico Wi-Fi is compliant with both WPA2 and IEEE802.11i.
To Configure WLAN Profiles
You can view, edit, create or delete a WLAN profile.
Using WebManager
Click WLAN Profiles on the menu.
Using XML via CLI
Include in your file: <configgroup name = "WLAN Profile" instance = "name">

Appendix C: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Many unit configuration procedures require you to assemble a series of options (represented as
bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte).
The resulting binary value must be converted to a hexadecimal representation.
Use this chapter to learn to convert binary values to hexadecimals or to look up hexadecimal
values in the tables of configuration options. The tables include:
Command Mode (serial string sign-on message)
AES Keys
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
Following are two simple ways to convert binary
numbers to hexadecimal notation.
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F,
which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B (for 11),
etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100
1100) to a hexadecimal representation, treat the
upper and lower four bits separately to produce a two-
digit hexadecimal number (in this case, 4C). Use the
following table to convert values from binary to
hexadecimal.
Scientific Calculator
Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimal
is to use a scientific calculator, such as the one
available on the Windows operating systems. For
example:
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs ->
Accessories -> Calculator.
2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The
scientific calculator appears.
3. Click Bin (Binary), and type the number you want
to convert.
